ABSTRACT:
A continuously variable transmission with constant torque is designed using an epicyclic gear mechanism with a casing that rotates freely within an electromagnetic braking device. The braking device utilizes magnetic particles filling a gap between the inner diameter of the braking device and the outer casing of the epicyclic gear mechanism such that when the particles are magnetized, they form an adhesive-like resistance to rotation of the epicyclic gear annulus.
