VMT (Vernier Moon Technologies) will be making an exciting announcement on Novemeber 4th at the Novell Technology Center: An Infinitely Variable Transmission.
What does this mean? Well, it’s kinda like this: When you drive your car you start in first gear. That gear is geared “low” to allow you the most power to the wheels to get your car moving. As you go through your gears, each one gives you benefit as you pass through it because it has the right “ratio” to transfer the energy to where it needs to be.
Now imagine that that first gear is so very low, that it allows even a much smaller, much more efficient engine to get the car moving. Further, imagine that the ratio is always changing as you accelerate… Thus keeping you at optimal performance the whole ride. This keeps your engine running at peak efficiency, and it also allows you to have the “gear ratios” such that you require less power from the engine in the first place.
Well, that’s what VMT has figured out how to do.
