So I found this on the ol' Intertubes as well.
I kind of want to hesitate to call this a rotary loader because it's really more like a curved magazine loader. The rounds are still fed from the back by a single pusher; it's just that it's using a torsion spring like mine instead of a compression spring.
Being a single pusher design, it shares the same shortcoming as the other pusher designs -- inability to load new rounds in on the fly. And this has a pretty large dead zone. Pushing the entire stack from the back instead of distributing over multiple rounds can also be problematic.
This compensates for that with increased capacity of course.
Still, an interesting design and worth thinking about. Plus he 3D printed it like I did, so extra points.
