I believe this to be correct for the most part.......
So I thought the rotrex was a planetary gear system when they introduced it, but no one ever really got in depth about the gear system...
As I understand it, its basically a planetary gear system BUT smooth rollers instead of gears
Thats why the non-newtonian fluid is needed, as the fluid plays a part in the drive efficiency in the gearset and which allows the impeller to spin faster under high load than it would normally with a newtonian fluid
I could be way off, but its all the info I can find on the net
