 Is there any reason why the particular gear ratio between the rotor and
 the
 output shaft (not sure if this is the proper term) was chosen?  Would
 there
 be a way to modify this so that the PSRU was essentially integrated into
 the
 motor?  So, for example, so that 4 turns of the rotor were necessary for
 one
 turn of the shaft instead of 2?

 Just a thought, but might save alot of weight and one of the major risk
 factors of auto conversions.

 Thanks,

 I am not sure what you mean by "integrated".
 Can you come up with a sketch?

I think he is suggesting that instead of having the rotors turn once for
three eccentric shaft revolutions you re gear the ratio to reduce the e
shaft speed so that you no longer need a prsu. Pretty sure the answer is no
but I wouldn't be able to come up with the why not (will seem obvious when
you tell us). Would be a big job anyway, just dealing with the loads on the
shaft would be challenging.

We had guy on here for years and he came come up with this.
