NuVinci Continuously Variable Planetary Transmission - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I was laughing at a lenco for hot rods, and wanted to know more, for realistic uses.

There are three applications of NuVinci technology currently under development for the automotive industry, all relating to front-end accessories. These applications include alternator-mounted, crankshaft-mounted and supercharger-mounted variations and they are meant to improve engine performance and increase fuel economy by enabling front-end accessories run at their optimal speed, regardless of engine speed[22]. Engine downsizing, or engine size optimization, is one of the major strategies being pursued by automakers in order to meet more stringent fuel economy standards[23].

no automotive standards for real listed, but covered a realistic approach to front drive accessories.
I have a downdraft sube that idles sub 500 rpm (inentional- part of hypermile) and my alternator refuses since the 1950s of alternators to operate below 500 rpm at full speed power. Lights dim a bit.
A CVT nuVinci would work...
