This project is focused on the development of a new type of Continuously VariableTransmission (CVT) system that is widely applicable to the automotive and industrial sectors.CVT systems are becoming increasingly prevalent and have particular benefits in hybridvehicle drive trains where they used ensure that the engine is operating at its maximumefficiency at any point in the drive cycle and that the vehicle performance requirement issimultaneously met. By exploiting this flexibility, significant system efficiencies andfuel/CO2 benefits can be achieved.Magnomatics has previously developed a first generation magnetic CVT (mCVT1) and thissystem has been demonstrated to offer significant efficiency and packaging advantages overexisting technology and is currently the subject of two TSB funded collaborative researchprogrammes (under the LCV IDP and HVM programmes) with Ford Motor Company andVolvo Powertrain.By continuing the original research programme, acquiring accurate customer feedback andfostering internal innovation, Magnomatics have developed a second generation mCVT(mCVT2) concept that has the potential to reduce the use of rare earth magnet material by upto 75%, give increased part load efficiency, allow deletion of several elements to provide costsavings and deliver a system that can be realised in a much more compact space envelope thanthe first generation. If the predicted technical and commercial merits of this second generationare realised it will lead to a significant uplift in the adoption and value of MagnomaticsmCVT technologies.This project will rapidly deliver a working proof of concept of mCVT2 that will be validatedand evaluated on Magnomatics existing drivetrain dynamometer system. Once validated theconcept will be aggressively developed for typical vehicle drivetrains as a competitive system,potentially replacing, the first generation systems in the existing project group.

该项目致力于开发一种广泛应用于汽车和工业领域的新型无级变速器(CVT)系统。无级变速器系统正变得越来越普遍，并在混合动力车辆驱动系统中具有特殊的优势，在这种系统中，它们可以确保发动机在行驶周期的任何时间点以最高效率运行，同时满足车辆的性能要求。通过利用这种灵活性，可以实现显著的系统效率和燃料/二氧化碳效益。Magonomatics以前开发了第一代磁力CVT(MCVT1)，该系统已被证明提供了超过现有技术的显著效率和封装优势，目前是TSB资助的两个与福特汽车公司和沃尔沃动力传动系统的合作研究项目(在LCV IDP和HVM计划下)。通过继续最初的研究计划，获取准确的客户反馈并促进内部创新，Magonomatics开发了第二代mCVT(MCVT2)概念，该概念有可能减少高达75%的稀土磁体材料的使用，提高部件负载效率，允许删除几个元素以节省成本，并提供一个可以在比第一代更紧凑的空间内实现的系统。如果这第二代技术和商业价值的预测成为现实，它将导致Magonomatics无级变速器技术的采用和价值的显著提升。该项目将迅速提供mCVT2概念的工作证明，并将在Magonomatics现有的动力传动系统测功机系统上进行验证和评估。一旦得到验证，这一概念将被积极开发用于典型的车辆传动系统，作为一个有竞争力的系统，有可能取代现有项目组中的第一代系统。
