Introduction
A continually changing pulley ratio to maintain or soften the transition between changing gear ratios.
This application will be aimed at car enthusiasts who have or wish to install a centrifugal supercharger on their car and maximize the potential of that supercharger.
Centrifugal superchargers only operate at full capabilities when the engine is at full throttle.
To enable a supercharger to operate at full capacity at a fraction of full throttle, but still not overpower itself when the engine is at full throttle, a CVT is used.
A CVT varies its gear ratio with the speed of the engine.
