Why not use a magnetic transmission?

We have developed a magnetic gearing and coupling system that works great. It has been in use in Australia for some years now.

The gears never touch each other. They are 22% more efficient in transmitting power (compared to mechanical gears) and they never wear out. They run quietly and they can be dimensioned to slip at a given torque value.

In some applications, such as boat transmissions, they can transmit power through the hull.

We are in fact targeting electric car transmissions now, and will exhibit at the Hannover show in Germany this April.

Interesting how the CEO claims that they have Detroit coming to them for transmissions? Really, how do you explain them begging and pleading that GM sell them transmissions that were used in the EV1. Interesting, they also changed thier minds and started hiring 'automotive industry engineers' to work for them. Why, I thought they were schooling us?
