Infinitely variable transmission with uniform input-to-output ratio that is non-dependant on friction

An infinitely variable transmission, comprising:

• one or more scotch yoke modules, wherein each scotch yoke module comprises:
• a crank pin which revolves around a notched auxiliary input shaft, wherein the crank pin is at an offset distance between a longitudinal axis of the crank pin and the auxiliary input shaft that remain parallel to each other, the offset distance can be altered from zero, when the crank pin is co-axial with the auxiliary input shaft, to a non-zero real number by displacing the crank pin along a radial slot, wherein the radial slot is formed in an input disk, wherein the input disk is rigidly mounted on the notched auxiliary input shaft by a crank pin displacement mechanism, wherein the crank pin displacement mechanism comprises:
• a sliding collar disposed co-axially with the auxiliary input shaft, a mechanism which causes a relative axial translation of the sliding collar with respect to the auxiliary input shaft, wherein the relative axial translations causes a radial displacement of the crank pin;
• a common disk, which enables simultaneous axial translation of each sliding collar of the one or more scotch yoke modules;
• a slotted rack holder for each of the one or more scotch yoke modules, the slotted rack holder comprising:
• one or more racks, which are restricted to only move along a direction of a longitudinal axis of the one or more racks, and a crank pin slot for receiving a respective crank pin of the one or more scotch yoke modules, with the longitudinal axis of the crank pin slot being orthogonal to the one or more racks;
• an input shaft which completely passes through a common hollow pinion shaft;
• one or more angular velocity modules, each angular velocity module comprising:
• one or more driving non-circular gears mounted on the input shaft, each of the one or more driving non-circular gears driving one or more driven non-circular gears, wherein each of the one or more driven non-circular gears are mounted on a respective auxiliary input shaft of the one or more scotch yoke modules, wherein the one or more driven non-circular gears function as a carrier of a planetary gear system, the planetary gear system comprising one or more carrier shafts, each carrier shaft having a free to spin planetary gear operationally engaged with a stationary sun gear, a primary cam that is axially attached to each planetary gear and operably engages with a secondary cam that is axially attached to the respective auxiliary input shaft of the one or more scotch yoke modules;
• a rectifier module for each of the one or more racks comprising:
• a pinion engaged with a respective rack, and each pinion is mounted on the common hollow pinion shaft through a computer-controlled clutch, a one-way bearing or a ratchet mechanism;
• wherein the one or more angular velocity modules are arranged such that a uniform rotation of each of the one or more driving non-circular gears via the input shaft, causes a non-uniform angular velocity of the one or more driven non-circular gears, wherein the non-uniform angular velocity causes a respective planetary gear meshing with a respective stationary sun gear to revolve around a longitudinal axis of a respective driven non-circular gear while rotating along with a respective primary cam and exerting a tangential force on a respective secondary cam causing the respective secondary cam to rotate along with a respective auxiliary input shaft, rotation of the respective auxiliary input shaft causes a respective crank pin to reciprocate respective one or more racks substantially along the longitudinal axis of the respective one or more racks at a substantially constant velocity and slowing down briefly during direction reversal and accelerating to the substantially constant velocity, wherein a magnitude of the reciprocation is proportional to the offset distance of the respective crank pin and the respective auxiliary input shaft of each of the one or more scotch yoke mechanisms, and the reciprocation of the respective one or more racks causes an alternating rotation of a respective pinion and the alternating rotation of the respective pinion is converted to a unidirectional rotation of the common hollow pinion shaft via the computer-controlled clutch, the one-way bearing or the ratchet mechanism.
