F1, seamless gearbox info.
(OP)
Hello,
I have read about the latest seamless F1 gearboxes with continous power. But I can't find any info, (layouts, sketches) of the concepts.
I have searched with Google, but no luck. Just the basic F1 sites, no real info. Anyone know where to find more info???

Theroretically I thought that power has to be interrupted for some finite time in a mechanical gear change.
If they're dual clutch then its similar to VW/Audi's I'd guess...

I love materials science!

A few months back a very famous team was using technology related to an early Wiesman concept. To describe it in an oversimplified way...it used one way roller clutches (sprags) in place of the usual side engagemnt for the gears. The gear layout was very neat package and completely unconventional.

There is one company touting proper seamless shifts, but I don't know of any confirmed customers:
