Claim 28:
29. A method of power transmission, the method comprising:
coupling a first articulable joint between a prime mover and a shaft of a driveline, such that the shaft is pivotable relative to the prime mover;
coupling a second articulable joint between a driven component and the shaft of the driveline, such that the shaft is pivotable relative to the driven component;
wherein each articulable joint comprises multiple bearing surfaces, the multiple bearing surfaces including polycrystalline diamond bearing surfaces and metal bearing surfaces; wherein the polycrystalline diamond bearing surfaces are engaged with the metal bearing surfaces, wherein the metal bearing surfaces comprise a metal, the metal containing at least 2 wt. % of a diamond solvent-catalyst based on a total weight of the metal; and
driving rotation of the shaft with the prime mover, and driving the driven component with the rotating shaft.
