ABSTRACT:
A continuously variable transmission system comprising an input and output rotational member each with a first circular end and a second circular end is disclosed. The output rotational member is located such that the second circular input member end faces the first output member end and the input and output rotational members share a tangential plane. A first and second idler wheel, attached to an idler shaft, contact the input and output rotational members. The first and second idler wheels and idler shaft are configured to translate rotation from the input rotational member to the output rotational member.
