Development in ICE vehicles has largely stalled in favor of electrics. I don't think this transmission will see the light of day. I thought I could sell it to one of the big truck manufacturers, but I don't think there's a lot of incentive to innovate in that space. Shoot me your e-mail and I'll send you a PDF outlining the design. The long and the short of it is without using compound gearsets, this transmission achieves 15, 24 or even 35 speeds, which allows conventional cheap and reliable helical gears to approximate a CVT. A unique part of this transmission is that it also allows insanely high ratios in a small package. You can easily have a normal transmission that has a 2000:1 first gear. That's not exactly a practical ratio, but it's possible with this technology.
