ABSTRACT:
An infinitely variable transmission requiring no external controls is shown in its preferred embodiment of the present invention as including a power housing rotatably mounted on an input and an output shaft. The output shaft includes a planetary cage and planetary gears located in the interior of the power housing. The planetary gears are in gearing relation with a sun gear located on the input shaft in the interior of the power housing and also in gearing relation with a ring gear formed as part of the power housing. The internal resistance of the transmission created by the drag and friction of the drive, planetary, and ring gears gearing together and the viscosity of the lubricant influences the rotation and acceleration of the output. Power trains according to the present invention may be utilized to influence the output acceleration by including input motors rotatably connected to the input and to the power housing and in a preferred form a distribution valve is added to regulate the power flow from the power source to the individual input motors. Power sources are further disclosed according to the present invention allowing a continuous chemical fluid combustion process for powering the two input motors.
