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.

Paul,
Your forum at Sun N Fun was probably the most important talk given at
the show! I noticed something during your presentation that I forgot to
mention afterward. The FEA analysis of the friction ring would suggest
that the outer corner of the ring should be rounded. I would guess
that a radius in the range of 1/16" would do. Fatigue cracks may
develop pretty quickly without the rounding.

Thanks for the complement. I was quite happy with myself.
I too thought I did a good job for a change :)
Good point Aubrey.
