The Intuition a pneumatic rotary

Already on the list first day i saw it! I like the air concept and the weight factor due to wrist injuries in the past. Limey that does sound like the best way to go as it would get that exhaust away from a open wound area(tattoo).

Exactly my thinking mate; I'm sure that EU regs will require that in the not too distant future anyway.

What I'm actually hoping is that it will be a ton more efficient than the Neumas (which feel like they vent twice as much air as they use) and that you'll be able to run them from one of the tiny bambi dental compressors vs a big ass jun-air as those puppies cost a ton to run here.

That is already one of the options

You just need to change out the exhaust plate.

Brilliant! That solves a lot of concerns for many people!

How about cfm figures for a single user station? Ballpark is fine I'm just trying to figure out how viable it is in the UK.

We would like to see the least possible amount. As far as a ballpark, we would like to see less than 1 cfm. I have made several revisions since the intitial prototype just focusing on air consumption. Ill release figures when I'm satisfied.

Why you want to make pneumatic machines???have you try to travel with a compressor in a plane?

Incredible design. My buddy Kevin Griffin and I were talking about this idea about two years ago when I was first using swashdrives and him being a Neuma devotee. We tried each others machines on each other and felt they were similar in high level of performance and versatility. It soon dawned on us that a pneumatic driven swashdrive would be the shit! I did some drawings but we never got around to prototyping, my designs weren't quite as sleek and refined or compact as yours. It looks awesome and I'm sure given the potential that the performance should be quite high. Too bad I'm not quite ready to go air-powered yet, but if I was a Neuma guy I'd be killing to be first in line for a pair of Intuitions.
