Its great that folks are being innovative to an extent, i cant wait till the cost come down to a point that the average garage tinkerer can afford these for their projects. What disturbs me to a point concerning that it may be in a effect over engineering. I can see that their will be some environmental applications that these will greatly benefit as a solution.
I just discovered the harmonic drive a few days ago after researching the lunar rover. The rover uses harmonic drives on each of its wheels with a 100:1 reduction ratio.
What about metal fatigue??

@Carsenator What ABOUT metal fatigue? If anything, I would think this design would be easier on materials than more conventional gears.

mad props to whoever invented harmonic drive. the hollow shaft gearhead + brushless DC motor gives me an engineer hard-on.
