Ixion engine on a Komet motorised bicycle, ca. 1902. This system is used, for example, to drive the spools in some tape recorders.In a typical configuration, one of the cylinders is the axle of an electric motor, say 1 mm in diameter, while the other is a disk with a hard rubber rim, say 50 mm in diameter, yielding a 1:50 mechanical advantage.
The NuVinci CVT system has a small number of parts. [5] [6] Most CVTs have lower mechanical efficiency than competitive conventional transmissions.Since any CVT may allow a power plant, human or motorized, to operate at (or closer to) its speed of optimal efficiency, output torque or output power, the NuVinci CVT may improve a system's overall efficiency or performance compared to a ...
The MZ 202 was developed first as a 60 hp (45 kW) lightweight competitor to the liquid-cooled 64 hp (48 kW) Rotax 582.Later the MZ 201 was developed from the MZ 202 as a de-rated 45 hp (34 kW) version intended for motorgliders and single place ultralights that needed more power than the single-cylinder Zanzottera MZ 34.
The General Motors Ultralite was a 1992 low emission vehicle concept car intended to demonstrate the benefits of advanced materials and low fuel consumption.. It was rated at 88 miles per US gallon (2.7 L/100 km; 106 mpg ‑imp) by the EPA, [1] but could achieve 100 miles per US gallon (2.4 L/100 km; 120 mpg ‑imp) at a steady state cruising speed of 50 mph.
