The box is in the NC machine shop.
Should be done when I get back from Sun & Fun.
Next step is build up a turbo II engine and test it on the
dyno.

Here are a few 3D's of the traction drive parts and final
drive.

I may give an AIAA paper on the subject on May 13 in Anaheim Ca.

How does the traction drive unit function? Which parts rub
together to make the traction?
Tim

In the first 3D the small shaft rubs on the three brown
rollers which in turn rub on the outer ring.
The outer ring is undersized to apply pressure on the
rollers and the small input shaft forming a planetary
reduction unit.
