 Tom Kasmer's "Hydristor"
A hydrostatic transistor energy converter |   Conceptual Vehicle - Designer |  | Inside the Hydristor you will find two independent circuits which are dual pressure balanced to minimize the torque shaft load. Each circuit can operate at various speeds, in neutral, and in reverse conditions. Surrounding an inner and outer impeller vanes are two stainless steel belts, designed to operate at high speed, and change shape to adjust the power band to handle an infinite amount of ratios for power conversion. | The 15th Annual American Tour de Sol 2003
