There was this con-artist in Sweden many years ago who sold a magic "diet-powder" at 100 SEK (10 EUR) per 100 g bag, typically by small ads in the Sunday newspaper. After some considerable time, the department of health finally got a warrant to search his apartment and found a large number of 25 kg sacks of industrial fish-food from Iceland.

He was duly sent to jail of course, for fraud, tax-evasion, as well as breaching God knows how many food-related regulations.
Later on, when he was inteviewed from jail by the same Sunday newspaper, he showed all the fan-mail from desperatly dieting people hoping that he would take up the deliveries again as soon as he got out.

People in general just loves to be taken for a ride.

Autogyro, do you have a computer model of this gearbox? Just show us an external pitcture of it.. with it encased and all. And then show us a picture of a single key part.

I think Autogyro is probably Robin Herd

Haha. This thread got humorous in the last 12 hours. I'm glad you all enjoyed my idea so much. I'm gonna stay off autogyro for now lol. Point is that I put an idea out there and I got awesome feedback and went from reverse engineering an idea (still vaporware) to A fully formed idea in less than a week. Chris - many thanks for your input. I figured out the dampening issue. Diesel tech from my 1994 E 300 D provided me with the solution to that one lol. I figured out the gear linkage mechanism for the most part. I also figured of securing the planetary gears without sacrificing too much space or weight. I have a team of industrial engineers already (yea I'm 20 but my dad and uncle are well connected in the business and engineering world.) downforce, you have helped me out a good bit, too. I appreciate it alot. I'll keep you all updated as progress goes along. Patent should be filed before the end of the year. After it is successful, I will post the patent form from the US gov't patent office.

As for you autogyro. I'm sure you have an idea that I am missing. It's pretty inevitable. However, if you feel as if you can patent it, I would be glad to buy the idea off of you if it's worth buying. That is about a year or two down the road but since I am a straight-to-engineering kinda guy, the overhead would be low and your idea may be economically viable. It's pretty amazing how an idea can be taken from theory to business model so quickly.

For everyone else. If you have questions about something motor racing related, or maybe anything lol (the 'i don't get this, where the hell is minacciol?!?' scenario) then email me lol. [email protected] is where you can get me. I'm a motor racing outsider but I love problem solving, occasionally way outside of the defined box, and I figure that if there is a logical problem, I bet I can solve it or move understanding closer to what is needed to solve things.

Cirro. Would you mind deleting all the quotes of my idea inthis thread? Until it is protected I'm alittle nervous about having my ideas in an open space. Chris, I know your ideas are your own, but can you remove those too? I'm not demanding, but I would appreciate it greatly. Thanks a ton again.

Autogyro. Have you ever considered full sentences?? Lol.

And to everyone in this forum, whether you posted in this thread or not, and this includes Autogyro. You have been awesome. I've learned a ton on this site. I'm gonna get involved more.

Well said xxxChrisxxx
You should go for a drive and waggle that banana in a bowl of custard.
Of course if you race F1 you can just let the computer do it for you.
I wish you well for the future in electric vehicles.

That's good to hear, I hope it goes well for you.

Too much time has past for me to delete them I think. Ciro can you delete any of the quotes or relevent posts regarding Minacciol's idea please.

Well stick around. Even if it is just to watch the fights.

Woah there's been some serious post editing going down! Probs best tbh - altho jusr for the record, autogyro, my comment was more for the cheap laughs than to cause a fight.

I would love to see any ideas if and when they come to light - until then I just hope the chat stays in this thread.

Sorry all you guys for the heavy editing, it's the first time in my life I edit a person posts by request of another member and I won't do it again (unless another extraordinary thing happens). It has been quite a ride, I cannot wait to see how this thread continues, not next week, nor the following one, but in a dozen months or so.

MinacciolMotors, can you be so kind as to come back if (or if not) you get a solid patent? That would be a treat, it would make our site policies a little more... erm... trustworthy.

Also, could you explain to "the commons" like me what you think could be behind autogyro's concept? A drawing would be helpful and would attract more guesses.

BTW, hurry up, I'd said other people could come with the same idea, after reading autogyro's "specs" or "claims" or "clues" (it depends on who you ask: I'd go for "specs").

Please, all of you, go on, keep the nagging low.

Haha. Close the thread then? And I wouldn't worry. I looked WAAAYYY outside the box to get this one lol. And the gears are already in motion (excuse the pun). And I won't forget who has helped me. Not my style.

No, no thread closing. Actually, not closing this thread has been "a temptation to my patience", but it has paid off. Please, go on with the main subject and thanks, autogyro, for it, and thanks all of you for your skepticisms, wild guesses and (classy, I hope) criticisms posted and for the ones that you may post from now on.

Haha. Fair enough. I'm glad that you didn't close it before lol. I'll b around.

If everybody's done with the teriffic transmissions, can I please have my own thread on my water-fueled engine now, Ciro?
Can't tell you how it works, but is ok to run on seawater.

I have found out the method for glueing toast to cats. Can't tell you how, but I will mention it at every opportunity.

Interesting comments and I wish the poster well with his patent.
It certainly encouraged some thoughts outside the 'box' on transmission technology, which is one of the major areas of development for the future both in hybrids and all electric vehicle.
Just to irritate xxxChrissyxxx further.
My ESERU does not actually need any form of gear selection mechanism.

Hahaha

O SNAP!
