Sounds *exactly* like a model aero engine.

now why does that not surprise me?

are there any SOMopeds you *haven't* got?

BTW, came across something about the Nuvinci CVT pushbike hub. I'm thinking
of getting one and hopefully selling 'em. recall reading about the project
a year or so ago - it's not a new concept, it's the execution that's
different, instead of friction drive it has special fluid that goes solid
under pressure (similar to the stuff in viscous diffs, I imagine) which
provides the grip, so presumably the problems of components wearing and thus
slipping are reduced, maybe to zero.

Heh! Do you run it? and if so, on what? 18cc seems iffy, but from
what I have found they seem to work/help, though not "true" diesels
and performance seems to be pretty tied to fuel and ambient temps too.
Pretty interesting little motors in their way!
The small "updated" pump motor on the practica site sounds nuts,
must 1 Kg of motor and 14 of transmission.

Cheers & thanks for the replies!
