Bernie,
That reminds me of a funny story, I was over in the
states and preparing to ride to the wall ( Washington) with American Veterans
(Vietnam). One chap was walking around listening to the group as we discussed
what we had planned for the day, suddenly (and looking somewhat
puzzled) this chap said in a Southern accent " G.. Damn - what part of
the East Coast do you come from". I replied "I don't come from the East Coast
Mate, I come from down south"; "G.. Damn" he said, "
how FAR South" .Mind you I had
Australia written in large letters over the back of my jacket. He looked at me as if I'd come from outer space.
I've got a million of those stories.

To George ( down under) and
others interested in cog-belt PRSUs:
(Bernie: "George, you're upside
down!" George: "No, no, YOU'RE upside down!! I can see perfectly well that I
and other people, and houses, and telephone poles, and dogs are upright! SO
THERE!!"
Here endeth the silly stuff.
George, you
wrote "Ask about weight, type of torsional vibration DAMPER, density of
Damper, tracking adjustment, density of engine mount rubbers, and HP limits".
Which rotary model should they focus on, like the 13B, 13B Turbo, the Renesis,
20B as having the potentially greatest demand? Same for potential demand
for"normal vertical" engine orientation or "Plugs Up". They will have to
expect a potential market for the effort in designing and making one or maybe
2 versions of a belt PSRU for the Rotary.
You other guys, please join
in with questions that should be asked, or other strategy points. I don't want
to make this inquiry without ducks aligned. Have you ever made a technical
inquiry and you were ignored? It's happened to me, and I was angry and
frustrated, worst of all, I was not being taken seriously and I did not get
the needed information.
Let's hear from you. For those that have
missed the beginning of this, it's about the first Cog Belt PSRU that I have
seen with a torsional vibration damper instead of the driver pulley mounted
straight on the flywheel. George found them in Brazil and sent the web
addresses to me. The site is in Portugese only (except the numbers are in
English - yuck yuck). We want to know a little more about their PSRU, and if
they could be interested in trying out for a Rotary PSRU. We're basically
asking them to spend a lot of money, engage in a lot of effort and sweat, and
it's all a big risk for them:

Thanks, Bernie.
