Realizing that it’s essentially a cycloidal drive meshed with a planetary gear set, he got to work in CAD and, in seemingly no time, had a design to test. You can see the full results of his ...

An automatic uses a series of planetary gearsets that are connected in various arrangements by clutches to provide certain forward ratios. A single planetary gearset has a number of possible ...

These systems use what Toyota calls an e-CVT – two electric motors paired with a planetary gearset. This lets the engine and electric motors share the job of propelling the car – one motor ...

Analyzing the longitudinal behavior of road vehicles, this text gives an introduction to the modeling and optimization problems typically encountered when designing new propulsion systems for ...

It employs two electric motors, a planetary gear set, and three clutches, and can operate in four distinct drive modes, switching between them as conditions warrant. The first mode is the easiest ...
