For off highway equipment, like mining trucks, the ability of a joint to handle large angles without undue wear is a worthy cause. Car CV technology applied to large mining trucks just doesn't go the minimum 15'000 hours between overhauls - that's 900'000 miles or 1'000'000 miles if your round it up...
But this is a helicopter forum, and i think Dave Jackson's variation on the technology to reduce main rotorshaft vibration in teetering machines has real potential. Horses for courses.
What is your connection with Thompson BTW?
