Quite interesting. The company could stand to make a fortune if industry takes the technology onboard.

Well done - and Australian too!

holy crap thats awesome

i never realised that cv's are hard to turn when there angled, and that uni joints arent constant velocity

u learn something new everyday

[wilch]

That's actually pretty cool.

[Kinks]

that's awesome!

[ebola]

I just did my CV joints...

group buy, anyone?

[LBR33]

lol....they are many years off large scale production yet

[Nismo Racer]

Just watched the clip, very cool and informative.

[VB-]

yeh i learnt heaps about the existing CV's/uni's

good luck to em

[PHATR32]

ummmm, dont you guys know that cv's a packed full of grease etc etc?

i wanna see that fancy join full of grease with a rubber cover over it.

i really dont think they are use them in the real world uncovered and unlubed etc.

this type of coupling does not need grease or a dust boot. also most unit joints are run without a cover or grease. automotive CV joints need to be packed in grease, and need a boot to keep the grease in and the dust out.

Its a low friction joint it doesnt need to be packed with grease. Havent u ever looked at the cv joints connection a tractor to a slasher? most of them dont have rubber covers. Theres been alot in my local paper about thompson couplings as they are based in my town. I'm thinking about buying some shares, this company is about to go bigtime. When/If these become available for cars it will mean less drivetrain loss

i was thinking the same hey, i have alot of money left over from holiday.

[tridentt150v]

Impressive, i don't normally buy shares but............

[R33S2]

I never realised that a Unijoint constantly speeds up and then down with each revolution at an angle. Thats a fairly major improvement on the exisisting technology, shares could skyrocket if it stands the test of time, from what I could see it relies on those pins inside the cage to transfer the energy but I couldnt make out what they drive, I assume it is a set of holes that the pins align in, the pins themselves would be the weak point but with new alloys progressing everyday its quite possible.

[Thunderbolt]

Nice find. Sounds tempting to buy some shares. Hmmmm..................

Looks like not a bad idea, looks bigger then the equivilent uni tho.

Unless it can provide something sort after, current uni's are cheap enough to replace quite often. I think we picked up a uni for $80 for a Inter S-Line truck the other day. They dont fail that often.

lol @ "if this was 190 degrees celcius i wouldnt be holding it right now"

bloody good idea!!

He might be, but he'd be screaming a lot

it was made to transfer power more efficently, with that i assume it will come with a price
