Is there a way to do a pulley clutch? Like an A/C or hydraulic fan, but instead of the clutch forcing it off of the drive belt, it would just change over to a different size pully. Then at idle speeds, you can have 2:1 or 3:1and at higher speeds it will "clutch" to 1:1.

I guess that wouldn't really possible, since it would change the size of the belt needed to function properly.
