Since you have come up with the Constantinescu (Inventor) and Colley (Instigator) Gear I am wondering just how much this unit was actually used as there seems to be two types one that used oil for the transmission of the sound power and one that used a wire to provide the timing. I have the one with the oil transmission but have not been able to find anyway to find the one with the wire sound transmission. It is really fascinating to try to figure just how this mechanism worked and how he got that much power from the sound that he claimed.

Mister Anderson,
I once studied a course on sounds physics at university and I actually tried to learn the equations involved because I was interested in that question and asdic (sonar for you) because I was interested in the U-boat war.
I have came to the conclusion that any sufficiently advanced technology is undistinguishable from withcraft!
It's something that evidently works but most people can't really explain why. From what I recall, the liquid in the hidrosonic version of the mechanism is behaving like a solid, and the sound is actually a vibration. Or maybe it has something to do with resonance frequencies? No idea
We should start a new thread to discuss the differences between the various Allied synch systems, Alkan, Sopwith-Kauper, and Constantinesco.
