I don't know. Do you really think it will work? Even if it does work, do you really think people will want something that new and high tech? And, if they want it, do you really think they should have it?;)

Here is one that has the right idea, Except for the lower "U" Joint I doubt if there is anything in this side of the universe strong enough to make it out of !;)

That #11 looks to have influenced the SAGE drive.?

Steve 1

08-13-2002 08:33 AM

The Sage it could very well be Marty, They added the logical external support where the load would dictate then turn it with the Howie Drive the very thing they were correcting .seems a paradox .Adding more and more complexity to correct something so simply corrected

Anyway reading into the above you can see the reason I was there myself.
:)
I can only Imagine what the ones they did not use look like !
