Interesting that they tested it on a chevy in the video.

Pretty cool overall. Somebody could probably do this on their own with timeand tools. It looks like you could remove a tractors wheels attach some mounts for the corkscrews and drive them off the power take-off. It would be a complicated build, especially getting the gearing correct so that you can using the screws, I guess you could do that with a simple breaking system to slow one side or the other so that you could turn...

Pretty cool machine though.
