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.

  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.

 I don't see how "Vances Folly" would work.  The stationary gear and main
bearing are on the outboard ends of the engine.  Also, that would put all
the torque on the rear sun gear.  So, I doubt it would last very long.  And
then there is the balance issue.  Have I missed anything?
