In one embodiment, engine 20 has a rotational speed (e.g., a rotational operational range, etc.) of between 0 and 2,100 revolutions per minute. Engine 20 may be operated at a relatively constant speed (e.g., 1,600 revolutions per minute, etc.). In one embodiment, the relatively constant speed is selected based on an operating condition of engine 20 (e.g., an operating speed relating to a point of increased fuel efficiency, etc.).
In one embodiment, at least one of first electromagnetic device 40 and second electromagnetic device 50 provide a mechanical energy input to another portion of transmission 30. By way of example, at least one of first electromagnetic device 40 and second electromagnetic device 50 may be configured to provide a rotational mechanical energy input to another portion of transmission 30 (i.e., at least one of first electromagnetic device 40 and second electromagnetic device 50 may operate as a motor, etc.). At least one of first electromagnetic device 40 and second electromagnetic device 50 may receive a mechanical energy output from at least one of engine 20 and another portion of transmission 30.

Traditionally, operating a transmission in a reverse mode provides a limited amount of torque, speed, and/or power due to a subtraction effect (e.g., particularly at higher engine speeds, etc.) caused by components rotating in opposing directions (e.g., an engine rotating in a first direction and an electromagnetic device rotating in a second, opposing direction to cause reverse movement where the opposing rotations reduce and/or limit the output speed, etc.). According to an exemplary embodiment, at least one of power split planetary 110, gear set 210, and reverse power split coupled clutch 160 facilitates maintaining substantially equal power to output shaft 32 in both forward and reverse gears. At least one of power split planetary 110, gear set 210, and reverse power split coupled clutch 160 may reduce or eliminate a torque, speed, and/or power subtraction associated with traditional transmissions 30. At least one of power split planetary 110, gear set 210, and reverse power split coupled clutch 160 may facilitate providing a reverse driving torque to output shaft 32 while maintaining substantially the same torque, speed, and/or power in a reverse driving direction as in a forward driving direction (e.g., due to the forward power split coupled clutch 130 and the reverse power split coupled clutch 160 facilitating driving the vehicle in the forward and reverse modes separately while maintaining the direction of rotation of carrier 118, etc.).

According to an exemplary embodiment, the drive system 100 may include an energy storage device (e.g., a battery, etc.). In such embodiments, the battery may be charged and recharged by an electromagnetic device that is generating power. The battery may supply the electromagnetic device that is motoring the vehicle to propel the vehicle. In some embodiments, the battery may always be utilized as part of the drive system 100.

According to alternative embodiments, drive system 100 may be configured to operate with first electromagnetic device 40 and second electromagnetic device 50, and no additional sources of electrical power. Additional sources of electrical power include, for example, a battery and other energy storage devices. Without an energy storage device, first electromagnetic device 40 and second electromagnetic device 50 may operate in power balance. One of the electromagnetic devices may provide all of the electrical power required by the other electromagnetic device (as well as the electrical power required to offset power losses). First electromagnetic device 40 and second electromagnetic device 50 may operate without doing either of (a) providing electrical power to an energy storage device or (b) consuming electrical power from an energy storage device. Thus, the sum of the electrical power produced or consumed by first electromagnetic device 40, the electrical power produced or consumed by second electromagnetic device 50, and electrical power losses may be zero.

The vehicle may include at least one of a pushbutton, a graphical user interface, an ignition, and another device with which a user interacts to provide or trigger the vehicle start request and/or the engine start request. Engine 20 may provide a rotational mechanical energy input to at least one of first electromagnetic device 40 and/or second electromagnetic device 50. The first electromagnetic device 40 and second electromagnetic device 50 may be brought up to a threshold (e.g., a threshold speed, a threshold speed for a target period of time, a threshold power generation, a threshold power generation for a target period of time, etc.) that establishes a requisite DC bus voltage for controlling first electromagnetic device 40 and/or second electromagnetic device 50. Both first electromagnetic device 40 and second electromagnetic device 50 may thereafter be activated and controlled within and/or to desired states.

In other embodiments, input coupled clutch 140 is engaged in the neutral/startup mode such that rotational mechanical energy provided by second electromagnetic device 50 to connecting shaft 36 starts engine 20.
An alternative energy flow path in the neutral/startup mode may include starting engine 20 with a traditional starting mechanism, engine 20 providing a rotational mechanical energy input to ring gear 114 that is received by the plurality of planetary gears 116; the plurality of planetary gears 116 rotating about central axes thereof (e.g., planetary gears 116 may or may not rotate about sun gear 112 because carrier 118 may or may not be rotationally fixed, etc.); the plurality of planetary gears 116 conveying the rotational mechanical energy to sun gear 112; and sun gear 112 conveying the rotational mechanical energy to first electromagnetic device 40 to bring first electromagnetic device 40 up to the threshold for establishing a requisite DC bus voltage and controlling first electromagnetic device 40 and/or second electromagnetic device 50 in a desired state. By way of example, the neutral/startup mode may be used to start engine 20, establish a requisite DC bus voltage, or otherwise export power without relying on controller 310 to engage first electromagnetic device 40 and/or second electromagnetic device 50. Transmission 30 may provide increased export power potential relative to traditional transmission systems.

According to an example embodiment, the drive system 100 does not experience a subtraction effect during the reverse modes of operation since the jack shaft 34 is able to be driven in an opposite direction (e.g., relative to the forward modes, etc.) due to the three gear arrangement of gear set 210. The opposite rotation of jack shaft 34 drives output shaft 32 (e.g., via gear set 230, etc.) in an opposing direction (e.g., relative to the forward modes, etc.). Also, second electromagnetic device 50 may provide an input to output planetary 120 such that the rotational direction of carrier 128 matches that of gear 232 such that both inputs driving output shaft 32 (e.g., from engine 20 and second electromagnetic device 50, etc.) are additive, not subtractive. Further, first electromagnetic device 40 may provide an input to power split planetary 110 to be additive to the input of engine 20 provided to power split planetary 110 via connecting shaft 36.
According to an alternative embodiment, engine 20 does not provide a rotational mechanical energy input to drive a vehicle. By way of example, first electromagnetic device 40, second electromagnetic device 50, and/or another device may store energy during the above mentioned modes of operation. When sufficient energy is stored (e.g., above a threshold level, etc.), at least one of first electromagnetic device 40 and second electromagnetic device 50 may provide a rotational mechanical energy output such that the vehicle is driven without an input from engine 20 (e.g., an electric mode, etc.).
