  • where can i get one?

  • last i heard it was still a prototype

  • Boeing is buying the rights

  • well makes sence that someone that big would take a look at it i spose

  • It look like a universal joint mounted in a gimbal ring. Clever.

    It also looks very bulky as opposed to a typical u-joint or cv joint.

  • yeh but could u imagin it being used for tractors and big machinery.

    but i hope it comes out in a smaller version and strong for use in cars

see all

  • There's a kid copied this device in K'nex on Instructables!

  • This is amazing. I'd really like to know if the Thompson Coupling is being implemented in any applications. Any manufacturer who needs to increase their mpg must be aware of this.

  • Brilliant Aussie initiative...new ideas will save people and our great planet.

  • very very very smart!!

  • Completely untrue. CV joints crack all the time at the thin point of the casing adjacent to the giant bearings.

  • Amazing!

  • habbit
