GM did a similar student project in the earlier 1990’s with ethanol powered vehicles.

Sounds like they don’t want to hire real engineers, so they are using the free services of students.

My daughter in such a project a couple of years ago (she's building a continuously variable speed transmission she designed for her Master's project):

This is fine as teaching exercises go. It may even help GM do a little talent-scouting. But I wouldn’t look for anything truly innovative from undergrad engineering students.

Now CVS transmissions are cool, a lot of this other stuff is wasted effort to satisfy the Goreites. What kind of CVS? There are variable arm ones, and variable pulley kinds (hey, I’m at a loss for words).

This is a variable-pulley type.

How many horsies will it put through it? Who knows, I run into venture capitalists somewhat frequently.

GM used to have a car design contest. They had about 90% of the junior high school males making little wooden cars fifty years ago. That was when style ruled.

My daughter in such a project a couple of years ago (she's building a continuously variable speed transmission she designed for her Master's project):Very cool. Now for the real question:
Does she have a sliderule?
