Another point on the NASA project is....

It seems to me that while Torvec is contributing to the transmission aspect, and getting credit for that, I think about the contribution as being on to the entire power train for the Lunar Rover. This "transmission" unit actually includes the power source, the electric motors, right? Then the power is transmitted through the Iso-torque differentials directly to the wheels. The only other major components to the power train are the batteries, solar collectors, and the software that the computer utilizes to drive the equipment. So, I think about the involvement as being the major portion of the entire power train. That sounds better, and more accurate, than the claim to fame that is in the current discussions.

And, I would think that the Torvec patented constant velocity joints would be in the mix in come capacity.

What do you think?
