I have recently watch a YouTube video on a new type of CVT that works on gears only, and I like your take on this mechanical wonder. It has very few parts , all torque goes right thru the gears just like a differential. There are working proto types , and best of all no electronics to foul up things. Please take a look see, give your honest opinion on mechanical .wonder. Thank you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mWJHI7UHuys

If you could leave a link for this specific YouTube video, that would be quite helpful. "CVT" will bring up way too many results. Leave a direct link in your reply, please.
If you're on a smartphone, look in your browsing history on the YouTube app, select the video you just watched, hit Share, and a screen will pop up for a few apps and direct link. Select direct link and paste it here.
Thanks.

I could see the speed oscillation eventually become a problem. that's going to stress the entire driveline.

There's definitely more than just gears. I see some weak looking arms flapping around on the outside in kind of a herky jerky motion. Those look like failure points. Like the guys says at the end of the video, this thing needs to undergo A LOT more testing before we'll know if it's viable for use in transportation. All of that costs a lot of money (with potentially no return) and takes time, so I wouldn't expect to see one for sale anytime soon. It hasn't even been put behind a combustion engine yet.
