We have developed a magnetic gearing and coupling system that works great. It has been in use in Australia for some years now.

The gears never touch each other. They are 22% more efficient in transmitting power (compared to mechanical gears) and they never wear out. They run quietly and they can be dimensioned to slip at a given torque value.

In some applications, such as boat transmissions, they can transmit power through the hull.

We are in fact targeting electric car transmissions now, and will exhibit at the Hannover show in Germany this April.
