It should work up to a certain extent. Note, that the outputs of the sync generators are wired together. If the pistons get out of sync an opposing force would be created on one of the generators and that makes the correction. One would have to be careful that the forces exerted on the pistons would not over power the compensation that the generators are capable of producing. With tight manufacturing tolerances it should be a fairly achievable goal. While the two sync generators will help keep the engine in balance, there will be some loss of generating power due to the ongoing corrections. I suspect that losses in generating capacity is acceptable considering that you eliminate the mechanical linkage.

I encourage you to join us over on the yahoo thread. The rules are fairly simple

I’m assuming the Canadian patent you are referring to is 4022167, dated March 10, 1977. I’ll admit that knowledge of patent law is limited, but from what information I have gather there is no patent infringement. If you have some information to the contrary I would love the hear what to hear what you have to say.
