Thanks Bill,
I was well aware of that, but wondered about the
design Yvon was using and if he was running it with an isolator and
getting a feel for the life of the belt. Actually using one on anything over
100hp and getting any reasonable life was news to me, but I'm always willing to
hear about anything new.

George,
The tooth belts DO NOT isolate TV. The only way you
would get any isolation is to use a multiple "V"belt and they must be a
matched set to work at all well. They have a short life too. The HTD belts
have a Arimid fiber belt that is stronger than steel for the same weight.
THESE BELTS CANNOT BE USED TO ISOLATE TORTIONAL VIBRATION. Sorry to shout but
this is a common idea and needs to be squashed out of everybodys head ASAP. If
you run one of these belts you will still need a lovejoy or Centaflex doughnut
for TV. You must still be sure the system isn't in the normal TV range for the
engine/system.
Everybody should put BD-5 and Tortional Vibration in their
search engine. It makes for very interesting reading.

Yvon,
I would be interested in how this works for you
in terms of life of belts etc. I would also be interested in the design for my
single rotor. Do you incorporate torsional vibration isolators or rely on the
belt to do that work?

Allo Bernie
The cog-belt PSRU that I fly is based
on Richard Finch's 1986 design. I had some parts made by a machine shop and
I put it together myself and adapted it to my 13B engine. The belt and
sprockets are Gates Poly Chain GT products. RPM sprocket limit 3200
rpm. Gates rates the belt HP limit at about 150 HP

Sorry, I don't have
an answer, but I would like to know more about your cog-belt PSRU, who
makes it and what are the operating limits (like HP limit, RPM limit,
etc.). Thank you. Bernie
