ABSTRACT:
A binary logic incrementally variable transmission is provided herein which can include a sequence of either, biratio stages, of quadriratio stages, or a combination of both. Each biratio stage has one binary selectable means, one reactive, one input, and one output component. Each quadriratio stage has two binary selectable means, two reactive, one input, and one output component. The maximum ratio of the transmission results when the reactive components of the stages are grounded to the casing. When the reactive components of the plurality of stages are coupled to their input and output components in binary logic sequence, an incrementally decreasing variable speed ratio of the input/output members of the transmission will result, that far exceeds the number of stages. The basic stage ratio is defined by the maximum ratio of, and the number of biratio stages in the particularly defined transmission sequence, with the state ratios of the stages being of a particularly defined order. The total number of incremental changes in the ratio of the transmission is also particularly defined. (As used herein, the term "ratio state" is defined as the speed ratio of the input/output component of a stage).
