An exemplary infinitely variable transmission includes a planetary gear set situated in a drive train of an automotive vehicle and interfaced with a worm gear driven by an electrical motor continuously controlled by an electronic control unit in response to a torque demand. Another aspect may be selection of the worm gear helix angle to effect a balance between worm gear teeth friction and load placed on the worm gear by the planetary gear set, such that power required to drive the worm gear is minimized for all input load conditions.
