Re: [Electric Boats] CVT Transmission

 

Was just gonna say!
With the right gearing/belt drive there is no need for torque multiplication.
An electric motor will give you the flattest torque curve.
Basically max torque from 0 rpm, all the way to max rpm.
The cvt allowes the motor the rev out to max. torque and stay there.
No rpm change of motor but varying prop speed.
With electric you don't need to do that!

With all the torque available at any RPM for an electric motor, unlike a ICE, a continuously variable transmission just isn't needed.

has anyone thought of using a CVT for propulsion?
It would be interesting to hear the potential benefits and disadvantages from some of our more experienced members
