The video is well worth watching, if you have the time.

Very interesting piece of gear. I wonder when we will start to see it in service.

yeah i saw this on tv the other night, good luck to this guy, hope he gets it off the ground.

well the explanatory video was good but i was interested in the four ' pins ' inside the coupling, they serve a use but i couldn't see how it was acting, i just saw it working as a over sized Universal joint...

still, the application as a CV joint in cars would be a huge plus, they should make some for rallists to demonstrate and test their reliability, that or throw a couple in the back end of a v8 supercar

Just hoping the car manufactures use this in the drive shaft that goes to the diff.
