Abstract: An automobile drive shaft is made up of rigid PVC material. It is done in order to reduce the weight of the drive shaft in an automotive transmission system transmission. Some major objectives/advantages of this invention are as follows:
* Reduction in body weight and thus increase in power to weight ratio.
* Transfer same torque using lighter material.
* To present an alternative material for drive shaft.
