Spock says - The homokinetic plane is that plane which is perpendicular to the plane of the axis of the input and output shafts and which bisects the obtuse angle between the axis of the input and output shafts

Oh well their description of how it works cleared things up, not

looks rather an overkill for a car, I think I'll just stick to my cheapo UJ's - Captain

They look to be still on the drawing board... Investors needed etc..

IMHO the benefits listed don't justify development.

Yeah, looks very clever.
- However somhow i doubt you would see any real diffrence between that and a traditional CV joint.

Could be wrong?
