Former toy designer, current RU-vid maker and general robotics, electrical and mechanical engineer, I’m a fan of doing it yourself and innovation by trial and error. My channel is where I share some of my useful and not-so-useful inventions, designs and maker advice. Iron Man is my go-to cosplay, and 3D printing can solve most issues - broken bolts, missing parts, world hunger, you name it.

Bro make a controller that have joystic motor speed controller and power on button 6 toggle switch and 5 other motor. when 1st toggle up all 4 motor rotate clockwise at same time when toggle is middle no rotation when down rotate all 4 motor anticlockwise same time and also this 4 and 5th motor are controlled one by one 2nd 3rd 4th 5th and 6th toggle switch means each motor are controlled by each toggle no toggle effect each other and remember first toggle controll all 4 motor same time means we controll 4 motor with 1st toggle (all 4 motor operate same time) , 2nd 3rd 4th and 5th (controll all 4 motor one by one ) and 6th toggle controll their 5th motor make it bro
so, which muppet thought about twelve cubic meters was enough room to demonstrate a powered vehicle on? yeah stages are expensive, but a meter exclusion zone around the edge of a demo is just a rope... and ya wonder why some of the amazing folks never get found whilst you show them off in a twelve inch high bird cage. ugh.
I understand the gimmick of the "screw bike" but I think it would operate better if the wheels were oriented properly, and placed two in front two in rear.
25 years ago I saw a robot on Robot Wars with wheels like this and it was a new and wacky idea at the time. Now you can 3D print a lifesize version of it. Thats wild.
The bike is extremely impressive, but is somehow upstaged by the most bling helmet ever made! Imagine this guy pulling up next to you at the traffic lights
An engineer is a problem solver. Can any of you enlighten me to the problem this contraption has solved? Don't bother because the answer is no and it's not needed anywhere or wanted.
@@SecurePasta So a theoretical mathematician that doesn't focus on real world problem isn't a mathematician? The thing is that we can learn things from making stuff we don't necessarily need, and can later apply it to new problems. Besides, you could argue that the purpose of building this bike was to teach the viewers, which it definitely did.

I think it would be safer and more intuitive if you move the center of rotation to the intended driver position instead of the middle of the vehicle. This should prevent you from having to sit awkwardly or getting thrown around while turning
The next version needs handlbars that swivel to operate the Left/right switch which should probably be something that reads how far you're turning the bars..
The principle of the crab moving horizontally. This device is for research only, for practical application it has low transmission efficiency (km/w of electric power).
One song makes it sound like a tricked out motorcycle. The other song makes it sound like a clown car. I don’t know if I should shun it or buy it. Your marketing strategy confuses me.
***Incredible! This is my first video from you, and I am hooked. Thank you for such beautiful content! I'm not a scientist, engineer, or mechanic, so I apologize if this is a silly question. Why wasn't grease applied to the silver rod that threads between all the wheels? I thought grease or oil prevents excessive heat from friction. I'd appreciate an answer. Thank you.
