Abstract
Methods and apparatus for translating angular velocity and rotary motive force of an input drive to angular velocity and rotary motive force of an output drive, by providing a pair of devices rotatable at, relative to or about a common axis, and translating means for transmitting angular velocity and rotary motive force of a first of the devices to angular velocity and rotary motive force of a second of the devices. In a preferred embodiment, the translating means includes a variably and controlledly groundable reaction disk for varying the throughput from the input to the output.
