Ok, that is seriously cool...

I wish I had those for my ‘66 Dodge Dart. The ball joints were a weakness of old Mopars.

I dunno?! I've spent my whole career as an electrician in huge machinery facilities. The lubrication for gear boxes is centrally located, pumped out to all gearboxes, maintained in temperature (not too cold and not too hot), and the more the precision of motor speeds to the output rpm of that gearbox, (100 corrections per second) the more things get very, very, very, dicey. Better be careful because that motor will be hotter than Satan's furnace after a few hours of that application connected to a VFD or servo. Several servo motors, one for each axis, connected to each other in motion control software like Allen Bradley Kinetix Drives would seem a whole lot smarter to me.
One motor with one output shaft connected to a dozen or so mechanically linked gearing applications has always been a hard crash disaster setup IMHO. To me this seems like a step backwards in technology.

This system appears to be the very definition of single point of failure.

That ball reminds me of the initiator in early nuclear bombs.
If you are going to stick it is for joint replacement, how do you keep all the body pieces out of the works?

“I wish I had those for my ‘66 Dodge Dart.”
My Dart kept eating the limited slip rear end.
Apparently a special small diameter design for the Dart.

Just looking at the cartoon, what if those precise looking gears go out of sync?

Hey... There you are. I have been waiting for the chance to give you a very much deserved public apology. Several days ago I somehow in my old mind mixed your username up with someone elses I feud with, and I was rude to you and used some very disrespectful and insulting language. I thought you were being rude to someone and mistook your intentions and reply. My kneejerk reaction was completely in the wrong and I am hoping you might forgive me. From the bottom of my heart I do apologize for being an idiot. :)
