Hub diameters in the 4 to 6 inch range ID, absolutely.
If you position the journal so the pressure opposes the wieght of the vehicle bearing down on the hub, you will actually reduce the friction in the wheel bearings. The bearings themsleves are lubricated by the pressurised hydraulic fluid, so they are minatenance free, pressure lubricated and the same fluid is air cooled in the rotating drum.
Also sealed from the environment and completely submersible, without affecting the function.
I draw pictures in my brain and think myself to sleep at night. Been doing that with this project for almost a decade.
