It's a belt-type CVT. Depending on the size of the belt and what it's constructed of it should handle BL power quite easily.
Going by your pic, I assume that the belt would require a spring loaded tensioner, like a serpentine setup on a car has. Unless you vary the effective diamters of the contact surface of both sets of "cones" exactly to allow the belt to retain the ideal tension at all times.
