Anyone ever tried the cornay joints?
They have some interresting video's here : http://www.drivetechnologies.com
But they don't seem to be replying to emails. What do you guys think about it?

At least one driveline supplier is pushing double cardans as a substitute for conventional CVs in some applications - they are probably more efficient than the six balls in groove type, but no better than a tripod. On the other hand they have higher articulation angles and less backlash than a tripod.

What kind of vibration does a tripod have according to the cornay demonstration video's there seems to be almost zero vibration, I was wondering to what extent, if any this can improve traction if vibration is completely eliminated.

Theoretically you'll see a bit of third or sixth order, but it is not much.

I've never used one in a high speed/refined application, so have no idea of their relative merits in practice.
