It's an interesting idea, but they don't seem to explain how the balls are recirculated. (If, indeed, they need to). I found one animation: https://youtu.be/C4QCM2yyU-4 I experimented in CAD with a ball worm some time ago. The original idea was developed, rather alarmingly, by a urology department. http://urobotics.urology.jhu.edu/projects/BW/ That recirculates the balls through an internal path in the worm, which is rather elegant. -- atp "A motorcycle is a bicycle with a pandemonium attachment and is designed for the especial use of mechanical geniuses, daredevils and lunatics." — George Fitch, Atlanta Constitution Newspaper, 1912 _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
