Maybe it's just me but I am struggling to work out the dynamics or efficiency of this transmission. With a normal transmission you have a single power input, with this you require 3, 2 of which are at 90 degrees to each other. Surely this is going to cause a headache, and again with power transfer, if the 2 shafts are electrically driven from motors on the side of the transmission, where is the massive torque from the input side getting transferred to the output?
