Unfortunately Im with Prozon.
Im not sure hes got the fluid volume to really move that thing like Im sure hes expecting.
Very similar concept to some farm equipment but Im sure you all know that stuff has the ability to hold much more fluid and produce much more torque to spin a much larger hydraulic pump while also using a transmission to give some speed/gearing options. I dont see this being the case here.
and ummm, I wouldve used aluminum!
Props for thinking outside the box though.

I would have liked to see the original thread with all the questions and answers its not so much the fluid moved as it is the final drive ratio thanks to the planateries.
Seems like a solid idea, but i think there will be some kinks needed to work out.
I dont see it being a high speed machine, but then again, how many really are that have planatery drives?
