Hello, I'm new to the site.
I'm working with a couple of friends on a project. We're trying to hook up a VAWT with a continuously variable transmission so that the output shaft going to the generator runs at a constant speed; the goal is to try and regulate the frequency and voltage by doing this.
Does anyone know where to get a small CVT? I've looked around a bit at snowmobile/ATV CVT, but they seem too large and a bit pricey. I know that Nuvinci makes some bicycles with CVT, and I found some on ebay. Does anyone know if these are any good?
Thanks in advance! Any help will be greatly appreciated.
