How a CVT works! (Animation) 

So far the best CVT explanation I saw, many others fail to explain how the belt interacts with shaft and V shape details. Well done!

the best simulation i've found to understand ---- how the moving part comes closer or moves away from the spinning part.. this is really informative. Thank you sir.

Nice description of the distinction between rubber belts, segmented metal belts, and chains.

best CVT explanation video.

WOW! Genuinely impressed by the explanation and animation

Short, simple, to the point with follow-up options. Well done Mr. Schwenke.

A fantastic explanation of how the CVT operates.Well done producer

Wonderful animation of CVT. Kudos to developers. Thanks for amazing explanation

Great video here !! By far the most complete and simplest explanation found concerning CVT. Thank you for the last part explaining also that modern cars use oil pump to adjust position of the sheaves. I came here because of that part and found the right explanation Thank you so much !!

Your videos are fantastic! It makes learning so much easier when one can see an animated visual of the component working. Bravo! Keep it up.. This is my new favorite channel. Waiting for a video on locking and limited slip differentials.

now i understand how it works, for many searches, this is the best explaination.. thanks ..

The simplest video on CVT that i have seen so far. Thank you.

Very nice. The animation of the sheaves movement is very nice both centrifugal weights and hydraulic mechanisms

Damn, this was some good animation and explanations. You earned my like.

great simple explanation of the CVT. Thanks for putting this together

Nice description of the distinction between rubber belts, segmented metal belts and chains

You are very smart!! My Nissan has a CVT and I now completely understand how it works! Well done man!

thank you for such an amazing animation. It really helped me a lot to understand better.

Very good production Thomas. Clear and concise explanation. Thank you

Amazing video! One of the most interesting ones I have seen in a while!

One of the best explanation I have ever seen. Now I get how CVT actually works after watching this video, thanks to admin

excellent, short and sweet. direct info, no wasted fluff.

Thomas I don't care about negative comments. Some people only want to hear what they think is right. You have done a splendid job of teaching something we did not know. thumbs up to you.

thank you. First time someone show in easy way how it works !

Another great video! Thank you, Thomas!

You are the best to explain things like this bro. outstanding animations and narration.

Today only I got the perfect idea about how scooter cvt works! Thank you very much

I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS. Your animations are just incredible and your explanations are concise and understandable. Keep em coming! (PS: I liked your original voice much better than this American version. It's more "soothing" and easier to listen to.)

Amazing explanation! Very clear! Thank you :)

Lucid and precise. Thank you.

you just earned a subscriber. great video pal

This is a very good video explaining how CVT transmissions work....

amazing video! great work Thomas

Excellent graphic work and good explanation ,keep going, All the best

good video, really helps out people like me that own a car that has a cvt but don't know the first thing about it.

Very well explained. Great work!

I never understood the CVT at first but after seeing how it runs and how the oil creates thru the oil pump and how it's made from a variable stand front now I see it . Thanks for explaining it really helps

nice graphics, clear and understandable explaination, I also like that you pause a lot for several seconds

Best explanation so far...keep it up👍

Great video Thomas!

very clear explanation, good job guys..

Thank you. Very clear explanation!

Excellent video. Thank You.

Thankyou so much sir, i was searching for the reason ,how sheaves moves since months, amd today i got my answer, well excellent explanation!

Perfectly Explained!!!

I like the voice and also de quality of the video, its expectacular!

There is a big difference between how the scooter belt works and a CVT belt. A "normal" belt pulls from the drive pulley (or sheave) to the output, a CVT belt pushes. As a result the 2 belts are built completely different, a belt that pulls is much easier to make as the tension keeps it running straight, so as long as the internal strands are strong enough, it holds together. A CVT belt has to push straight without buckling, it does this by the drive elements locking into a solid mass when under compression.

perfect explanation and animation indebted to you

In such a video lane, thank you made the video very well .

Wow what an amazing animation

I always thought a CVT some how used some type of single conical gear that meshed with a single input gear that used a centrifugal device to slide the input gear up the conical gear. Huh, learn something new every day.

Good Explanations of the CVT

THIS IS SO GREAT THANKS FOR THE AWESOME VIDEO!!

Now i knew how its work... simple n straight forward explanation..

it the best cvt explaniton video i ever seen. thank you so much

nice work dude

amazing job

Thankyou my dear friend... Your video... It just cleared out my doubt... Thanks ... I'd subscribed at that second... Loved it man... Continue to do such job... And these 3d animations.. hats off..!!!

Great video and explanation. I find the metal push belt working metal pullies hard to fathom. I gather there’s no slip involved. What happens when the transmission is in neutral or at traffic lights?

This is very good. Understood first time

thanks for awesome videos

very nice animation and explanation ...

Very well explained video.

speechless..... gr8 efforts....

So good work

best cvt explanation

Thanks you for the information ❤️❤️

explained very well

Very good explanation

well explained, commendable

thanks! answered my questions

Really great animation and clear explanations! One question: what kind of clutching mechanism do CVT's use (how do they handle the engine running while the car is at rest)?
