The NuVinci Bicycle CVT video shows the same concept. I am surprised this version of CVT isn't being more used in vehicles since I can see it being more reliable than the belt version.

You can get that in a rear hub for pushbikes, called the Nuvinci cvt. Has a twist grip for ratio changes and you can change ratios under full load or stationary without any issue unlike derailleur gears.

He did a pretty good job explaining how it works, albeit I'd add the rotation axis of the ball to those explanations, and I'd probably make the connection between ball pivot points differently, but that explanation is his content and it's showing off a CVT implementation that probably ton of people could come out on their own without watching LTM video first.

most CVTs work using a v belt between 2 variable pulleys so they can use centifugal forces to adjust the speed rather than a manual lever

Never seen a cvt like this before, usally it's the belt and cone ones

This is actually a wonderful transmission for low rpm engines, like steam; it's interesting that you used a variable flywheel for it.

insanely underrated😲

you explained it very well and it was easy to understand. its always nice to see that people still put effort into their videos.

This is the best CVT design I have seen. It looks really efficient and probably could handle a good amount of torque with the right materials.

hey can you please check my question in the recent comments and be explain why.. thank you

I had no idea this concept was so straightforward! Thanks for describing how it works and amazing job on the build, as always!

This is by far one of the most useful and direct explanations I have found. Many thanks. Long live LEGO.

You need to make the CVT Foley automatic by adding a differential on the input shaft with a linkage connecting it to the control rod of the CVT so when there’s more load it all down shift and use a rubber bands to apply tension towards the high-speed side of the lever. Also put a small lever on the rubber band to add more and less tension for high speed gear and low speed gear!!!

I have sean many different ways to do that same thing, but you made me see one more. Thats geanious!

I had no idea CVTs even existed prior to this video, and I am very impressed. Great job. I appreciate how you're not using very rare parts, and most people can build this with stuff they have (I don't have the ball needed but still this design is great).

Figures the only CVT designer to say "let's make it more robust" is building with Legos.

Thanks for the idea.

It is a very cool CVT idea which Nissan (now rather infamous for its CVT gearboxes) tried this design in the Y34 Nissan Cedric in Japan back in the late 90s. Using two spherical "balls" to drive two cone shaped input-output shafts it was pretty cool at the time, but its low ratio spread (about 4.3) vs. the more conventional pulley & belt design (which can go up to 6 in Nissan's Xtronic CVT) and high cost meant this roller ball was not to be.

Man you could probably make some awesome twist and switch puzzles using that design

That is so good!
