A variety of transmission mechanisms are provided that include split pulleys nested within each other in order to reduce the size of the transmissions, to provide infinitely variable transmission ratios that include forward and reverse ratios, or to provide some other benefits. The transmissions include multiple inner split pulleys nested within an outer split pulley. Two, three, or more inner split pulleys can be disposed within the transmission to balance the mass of the inner split pulleys in order to reduce vibration and internal stresses experienced by the transmission. This can increase the lifespan of the transmission, reduce wear, and increase efficiency. Additionally, providing multiple inner split pulleys in a nested configuration can allow for reduction of loads transmitted through bearings of the transmission.

Variable transmissions with nested pulleys

A method and apparatus for treating fuel contacts fuel with metals having standard reduction potentials of differing polarity. The metals are work hardened to produce slip bands and stria at the surface of the metals.

Method and apparatus for treating fuel

A method for treating fluid hydrocarbon fuel to improve the combustion characteristics of the fuel. The method comprises applying a controlled electromotive force to an alloy which is in contact with the fuel. The electromotive force builds up an electrical charge in the alloy.

This invention is a coin operated switch which may be incorporated into coin operated machines such as video games to reduce cheating of the credit granting feature of the machines. This invention incorporates two electromechanical switches and circuitry which further use the existing machine circuitry to time the travel of a coin between the switches and to grant a credit on the machine only if each switch is tripped and released in the proper order and within the predetermined elapsed time.
