This is a different idea on an old problem. This is a square drive setup housed within the strut. The thought is to reduce drag on the entire rotating assembly. This setup uses an inverted cable with the shaft side connecting to the motor. I have not tried it yet.. Im hoping to reduce drag by 30%. The stuffing tube is what I call loaded. It has 3 layers of tubing inside. The outside is the main body while the next layer is bushings spaced apart. These bushing are thicker than the normal wall thickness of the brass. The final layer is spacers of brass which space distance between the bushing holding them inplace. The whole idea here is to hold the cable in place while providing support in key areas.
I know this is not a new idea but I figured I would give it a try.
Does anyone have any comments on perhaps a similar setup they have tried? If so how did it do?
