This was a brilliant fun project, we were amazed about the acceleration of the electric monowheel. Have you checked our original monowheel? bit.ly/3xNePQA Thanks for watching and take a look at our Make It Extreme T-shirts bit.ly/3zwmumM
It's a super cool project, but you’ll regret not wearing respirators while spraying later. The damage to your lungs will be irreversible. Take care. Cheers.
Needs back EMF sensing to improve stability so it can apply torque when it dives. When you back off the motor and your weight shifts forward, the motor will generate voltage (instead of consume it), this can be sensed and motor torque applied to counter it.
One GIANT mistake in this project. You failed to wear a respirator when spraying aerosolized paint. I made the very same mistake when working with paint and chemicals over 20 years in the aircraft industry and lost my sense of smell as a result. Word to the wise: DO NOT SPRAY PAINT OR WORK AROUND/WITH VOLATILE CHEMICALS WITHOUT WEARING A PROPER RESPIRATOR! Please take heed from my mistake. Best wishes to all!
I cannot even imagine how big this channel would be if you guys would explain what and why you are doing as you worked through each project. Even if each build were a couple episodes long. I can't be the only person that feels like there's someone behind the scenes drawing projects up then handing a set of plans off to the builders. Then they just bang through each item.
Wellllllll maybe they just have done stuff like this so long that they’ve built up the shop/knowledge that they only need an idea and then cook from there… but yes please explain the technical parts anyway!
😁 Holy crap you're really the greatest - thanks for 149 great projects. Please continue making such greatr stuff - I can't wait to see the comming 149 things you do on this channel!
These things need a gyroscope to keep the rider from going upside down upon acceleration. Also, don't forget to wear your mask when spraying paint or powder coat..!! KOOL PROJECT...!!!
I remember seeing a concept vehicle that was essentially 2 of these mono wheels attached to one another, so that they were beside each other. The tops were tilted inward (bottoms were flared outward). The seat/driver was in between the 2 giant wheels.
Pretty cool! I consider this more of a prototype/proof of concept. I know it would defeat the purpose of being an Omni-Wheel, but having a smaller wheel in the back to act like a "Wheelie Bar" would keep the Omni Wheel from rotating backwards and prove to be a more stable ride for the operator.
Πραγματικά κάθε φορά ξεπερνάτε τον εαυτό σας. Η δημιουργκότητα στις κατασκευές, η κινηματογράφιση και το μικρό αστείο σενάριο στο τέλος δεν παίζονται!! Συγχαρητήρια για οτι εχετε κάνει αλλα και για ότι έπεται στο μέλλον.
A Gyroscope would be amazing! Although this is already so cool, a self-balancing mechanism would improve the monowheels stability and allow you to do cool tricks with it. The forward force while braking at high speeds could also flip you over. I recommend a Gyroscope to fix this issue.
How many times did you stand back looking and laughing at what you created this time I'd say the monotrack was cooler but this is still a wicked build and well executed - get some skid plates on your feet and get the sparks flying 😂
Kerry McLean would be proud of ya! [He's the inventor/builder of the McLean Monocycle] I've seen so many styles of these over the decades, and they just keep getting cooler.. Kerry went w/ Huge combustion engines, so had to incorporate a tail rudder/wing combo for added stabilization.. NOW, we can just jam 'self balancing' PCBs to the mix, and that would nix the for/aft tilt [just think of a Huge EUC (E Unicycle) ] I saw that people beat me to the South Park joke.. But gotta' do it anyway: Your Seat looks a whole lot more comfortable! 🤣
Absolutely amazing. There is some room for improvement: by programming the controller and having some sensors, the back and forth wobbling could probably eliminated.
As someone who doesn’t know much about engineering vehicles, I’m wondering if the lack of a tube in the large exterior tire would increase the rate that the exterior rim wears down?
I love the monowheel. Maybe you could make a "floating" internal frame for the handbar, battery and seat while the motor keeps in the "fixed" frame. I think that if you do that your body will stay in the same place when you accelerate or brake. Maybe I'm wrong, but it's something I can't keep out of my mind.
now you just need to make a pedal powered one! seriously though, amazing build, and the idea of a pedal one just seems like an interesting thing to make, with all of it's own challenges
Still waiting for one of these with tilting for steering and a proper outer tyre that isn't just some rubber glued to a metal tube! Like the og thing from the 30s. Still pretty cool, electric drive is perfect for these things.
What a fun and great looking machine. I've always wanted to try one. I bet they take a bit of a learning curve. You guys make it look easy though. I bet heavy braking is scary and dodgy. :) That scooter at the end was clearly abandoned and in need of recycling or repurposing. ;)
It's been do before, but I'd love to see these guys build a 2WD hydrostatic motorcycle. And like a full hour of riding footage, running over things, through mud and rocks and sand and everything else.
Cool project, but I don't know if using two electric motors on the same axle with different motor controllers is such a good idea. If the controllers and motors are not matched perfectly you're going to potentially have issues of the motors putting different amounts of torque on the axle or the motors trying to spin each other. Not to mention braking.
This reminds me of two things: 1- General grievous mono wheel vehicle with legs (Star Wara episode 3) 2- One of the antagonist of Hot Wheels Battle Force 5, who used one big wheel as a vehicle.
