CV joint idea

Basically you put both bushes in the trnamission engage ring and you can have some 15 degrees of articulation. Also allows the buehes to slide, which makes it perfect for powering driveshafts and such.

What could be the the benefit of using this method compared to using an universal joint?

[Zerobricks]

You can have some sliding movement and I think its stronger.

I will try this tonight, and see for myself.

The only downside I see, is that it takes up more space.

and of course congratulations for winning the challenge

The advantage with this kind of joint over the normal universal joint shown above is that in real life applications, the universal joint introduces vibrations due to the non-constant angular velocity at the two shaft angles.

Now Zblj. Can you also make a Thompson coupling?
