H&S and Deltec share the patent on the eheim needlewheel...so the response to that is a big NO as it doesnt exist, and if it did, those two companies would sue.
Perhaps a better alternative would be to look at other pumps you can use. My favorite needlewheel pump to DIY with is the Aqua Medic Oceanrunner, sold alone at premiumaquatics.com. They are really nice pumps...sort of a 'poor man's eheim', but very efficient, and have great height performance when compared to sedras and eheims which start to choke when the skimmer starts getting taller.
FWIW, those turboflotor skimmers in the 5000 series (baby and shorty2 in particular) dont get the press they deserve. They are great performing units for a very reasonable price.
