I have no connection whatsoever with BYU, not being a Mormon and living on a different continent. I was trying to draw out some specialised comment on the variable gear subject from engineers who have worked in the theoretical PECVT field (and there are some). But it doesn't look like it is going to happen - the engineers in question either don't read this forum or are secretive about their work.  It is probably best if I...

It's true that they may never exist, but I suspect that's because there is no market for them, not because they're impossible to make.

( Yes, it does seem to be something of an 'academic exercise'. How does your theoretical device handle moving off from a  standing start while retaining positive engagment? It almost certainly relies on relative motion between a moving part and a stationary part somewhere, otherwise you could call it a Zeno transmission.   , )

Actually, to Pat's comment, I think we are all anonymous here (except for the occasional Art M. who used his real name) and any advice given out (and taken) in an Internet chat room should be considered in that light. To my way of thinking, if you have to ask, you shouldn't be doing it.  If you knew enough to know how to do it and do it right, you wouldn't be asking anonymous strangers on the Internet. I have...

Nemisis4, Napier built an aircraft engine using a series of tapered discs as a variable ratio drive for the supercharger. The engine was either the Sabre or Nomad if I recall correctly. This may provide some leads. Pete.

( I recall a positive- drive infinitely variable bicycle transmission, announced maybe 20 years ago in the mechanical fish wrappers. I think it used radially sliding teeth on the crank sprocket, and a regular chain and hub. I don't recall ever seeing one in person. If you want us to download and read something, at least do us the courtesy of providng a link. , )

it's more typical for torque to be transmitted via friction in the joint than by shear in the fasteners (unless you want it to break). The fasteners smoosh the two parts together quite hard, and friction does the rest.

Hi Guys, I forgot to add: Is just the total weight of the axle the normal way to size the mountings? The load case I used was stall torque; however this is an instantaneous application that will happen rarely. So I feel this approach may be overkill since the reaction forces I get from model are way bigger that that of axle weight alone. Any comments welcomed. Thanks Ed

( What does the std one weigh. What are you hoping to achieve. The factory engineers decided on the stock weight for a reason, and it was not to make the car heavier and use more iron or steel. The weight they choose is based on compromise between qualities working against each other. Only you can decide how much you want to change that overall compromise. , )

( "Has anyone carried out FEA analysis of an automotive flywheel before?" No, it has never been done before in the entire history of the world. I checked. Before building a model it is wise to consider what you want out of it. So what do you want out of it? Weight reduction? Explanation of a problem? NVH properties? The coefficient of friction of the plate is probably 0.3 , )

From your description I cannot really tell exactly what the washer does, however I would presume that the end thrust or float on at least some gears on the main shaft might be out of control and interfere with selectors, mesh and syncro or ...
