Paul,
WOW, your timing is almost perfect. This PSRU idea is just what
I need for a light weight power system.  Would you tig weld
or friction weld the shaft parts and then heat treat before final machine?
Dan F

Do you have friction weld capability? It is great if you have it.
Lots of stuff is made with friction weld these days.

Yes I would heat treat and finish grind.

There is lots of potential for saving 15 or 20 pounds in all these
hollow shaft designs.

I am half thinking of producing one for a constant speed metal
propeller.  The investment would be enormous but I think I could keep
the price under $3,000. Less the governor of course. The governor
would be cog belt driven.

What does everybody think about that?
