Inception Drive infinitely variable transmission.

"In an infinitely variable transmission (IVT), which is a specific kind of continuously variable transmission, the transmission ratio includes a zero point that can be approached from either a positive side or a negative side. In other words, a constant input, like an electric motor turning the same direction at the same speed, can be converted to an output that’s turning faster, turning slower, turning in the opposite direction, or not turning at all (in this 'geared neutral' mode, you’d need infinite input revolutions to cause one output revolution, hence the name 'infinitely variable transmission')"
