Development engineer and proprietor of Kabel.Consult.Ing, Juan Carlos González Villar, was named “En- gineer of the Year 2019” for his patented Energy Light drive system / Networked Continuously Variable Transmission(s) 4.0. He reacted this way: “I´m so pleased to have won this important industry award in Great Britain, which has produced bril- liant engineers such as Robert Willis and G. J. Abbott. I consider this award to also be a tribute to these pioneers and doyens of mechanical engineering. Without their publications (Patent US2068784 and technical book “Principles of Mechanism”), our patent for the Energy Light drive system would not have been possible.” The Energy Light drive system / Networked Continuously Variable Transmission(s) 4.0 significantly improves the energy efficiency of an application through the use of patented motor technology, cutting-edge process and control methods, and lightweight construction with composite fiber materials. It minimizes drive output during continuous operation, during acceleration, delays, and braking; maximizes corresponding generator output; and standardizes the drive system to become a complex total application. Originally developed for machines that wind / unwind (high-voltage) cables, the principle behind Energy Light drive system / Networked Continuously Variable Transmission(s) 4.0 can be used in numerous other applica- tions as well, including electric vehicles. Juan Carlos Gonzalez Villar is proprietor of Kabel.Consult.Ing, Germany, a provider of technical consulting, development, and modernization services for the manufac- turing industry.
