Mechanical Friction Cone CVT – STEM Lab Continuously Variable Transmission Model

A functional wooden model of a belt-driven Friction Cone CVT, designed to bring the complex world of automotive engineering into your hands. This sophisticated STEM kit provides a crystal-clear demonstration of how a Continuously Variable Transmission works, allowing you to observe how shifting the belt across the cones changes the gear ratio and adjusts engine torque output in real-time.

Widely used in modern cars, motorboats, and industrial conveyor belts, this model serves as a tactile encyclopedia of mechanical advantage. For advanced scientific inquiry, the CVT can be connected to the STEM LAB Tachometer (sold separately) to measure and record speed changes during experiments. The kit is complete with a QR-code study guide and access to an AR app that visualizes the internal friction physics and engineering history.
