Here is something that turned up on another site. The claims are great, And it may indeed save the world. But it seems to not have generated the buzz one would think. It is a novel transmission idea, and the plans are about the cost of a lot of others so it may have to be added to the tadolist. By the way the mans name is Green also. Great tie in if all his claims are met.

Anybody here have any experience with it or even thoughts.
It looks like mostly the same engine in all working shots driving something.

Glen,
Is this the one that all the experts ripped apart, over on Chaski, a while ago? It looks interresting and as a proof of concept model, it seems to do okay. I'm a little concerned about the cycle life of the flexible shaft, though.

The only Green in the name comes from the fact the guys surname is Green:rolleyes::rolleyes:. And the fact the all the hot air that is being generated on a couple other sites about it. It should put some distribution flow in to the air mass of the planet.
It could be, Greg I don't frequent the site you mentioned. If it is the site I'm thinking of I can be verbally abuse at home with out any prodding either:D

Interestingly the original patent uses the mechanism from the other end: power the shaft and take off variable phase and stroke length reciprocating outputs.
