gtxracer, yah I should get back full use besides the knuckle. There is still some question about how much feeling I will get back in the tips of my thumb and pointer, only time will tell...

Luatch, I apreciate the feeling :) where exactly do you live? I've been curious for some time now, I see the "only in brazil" in your avitar, but also get the impression you are here in the US ?

jokerjustin, I'm confident they will, it's just a question of how and when...

I have used the spare time I've got latley to get back into some cad drafting of idea's I've got. I'll post up some stuff when it's been sent off to the pattent office for review (just starting the patent process gets me some protection against the idea's being stolen).

Two of the ideas will be rooted in the RC field as they are easier to model in scale and should upgrade what's out there now. The first one I'm going to persue is a new design of shocks that will valve much differently than anything out there, yet be pneumatic to eliminate springs and be adjustable in every aspect. The drawings and text is just about done so I'll be posting it up in a day or two.

Second idea is a new way of doing an internal combustion engine that there is nothing similar to that I've seen, and I've studied just about every engine advance there has been ( even some of the real one off stuff that never got past the development stage, honda, toyota, nissan, wankle, offenhouser, ect...). It will have 2.7 times the power per CC than a standard 2 stroke race engine, and will scale down really well. It only has 5 moving parts and no crank, rods, valves, or counterweights. 0 vibration, variable displacement and compression, about 1/8th the size per cc of a standard 4 stroke engine, and ~40,000 rpm (depending on the fuel used) with an exceptionally flat torque and hp curve. Big claims I know, but I do believe it will be the future ( and most likley end ) of internal cumbustion engines, with electric being the final replacement for all automotion. I can't wait to share it with all you guys. ( and honda, if it developes well )


If I could only draw what I see in my head, then afford to build it, and finaly get to play with it...
