Purty neat! It reminds me of the belt drive Monaco V4 that Tag Heur was supposed to release, I was sooo looking forward to that!

BTW, I couldn't open that link either but upon googling, came across this (which I believe is the same article):

I can see very easily how it would work.

You have sealed impellers with an insulated shaft coming out of one or both ends of the little pump. This shaft can have a gear attached to it like
any little gear goes on. This gear turns the sharp gears you see. I think it's great and I have really depressing buyer's remorse over my new Springdrive.
