SMT ElectricBroom Prototype V4 motor gear works

[KPpivot]

not really sure. but if u think kinda like an electric scooter? works?

[legoman1571]

no where near enough power. nice idea though 

[tyreke6623]

Need wait senceing though so u can go or stop

[NobodyAngelHeartless]

to slow x3

[KPpivot]

If you guys want to help. Try comunicating towards each other through youtube!. Let's make this thing happen who's with me

[arunme17]

@KPpivot Hi.. KPpivot... i dreamed of making a motorised roller skates from my childhood.. but it was till this very moment stayed only in my mind... and now after seeing this video i think i can make atleast something near to a real one.... so am with u..if this CD motor is not enough wat motor u suggest for this work??....

[KPpivot]

Omg thank you for getting this far

[KPpivot]

Make the motor stronger and sturdier ! And faster

[tpain2566]

yessssss AT's are coming to the real world

[kateito1]

AT LAST THE BEGINING OF OF AT"S, SOON WE WILL ALL HAVE OUR WINGS!!!! XD

[KakasiDemon]

great prototype if i new u i would help you

[TeamAirHeadz]

first we would have to make a miniature motor that contains the power of three normal ones if we can do that anything is possible

[cwalkingjosh]

dude when u do this the motors r suppose to turn on when u lean forward

[edible333]

dont think of it as not enought power...think of it as were half way there to make real airtreks :)

[leon086209]

nice but will some one PLEASE make it work on rollerblades with the speed up to atleast 12 MPH

[kateito1]

@leon086209 You cant expect a society as americans (I am not assuming that this person is american but I can say this as I am one) To make a small powerful motor when the "normal" thought is that bigger is better. Also you cannot expect for this person to take the motor out of their computer and be all like "OMG IF I DO THIS IT WILL GO 40 KPH (Which is the average speed of air treks as said in the series.) So bottom line: You take a crack at it cause I tried and epically failed at it,

[Zuko237]

that's cool now you have to do is to make rollerskates out of that and we got Air Trecks

[dolled4ever]

you also need controls to move, and you need a cooling system. Feet get hot you know, and even worse in hot weather, not to mention when in rains... What about acelerating? how are we gonna go faster or slower?

[NinPika]

We need JET FUEL Engine, not really but we would need something that is small that can move at least 130-200 Lbs of weight, a CD-ROM Wouldnt be enough but thats a lead, we would need something that can put more power in.

[EremesLoki]

@NinPika we...need.....POWDER

[carlospena4life]

U betta,make dat thing boy I wana fly

[killerbat05]

we can bump the power up somehow dont u think. some one in this world made it we can 2

[chicopedasos]

why the fuck arnt you famous yet? lol jk cant wait till we get AT

[shadowdragon06us]

It needs to genarate at least 2 horsepower to move a human

[gnahzdivad]

Even if you managed to build an extremely powerful and small motor, you still have to deal with the fact you need a large power source in the form of a small battery or something.

[Brucie275]

@gnahzdivad sucks dont it :(

[Brucie275]

@gnahzdivad Brushless electric motors would do the trick although they could still be made smaller :) you can buy electric scooters that use them and one motors enough to propel a average man to afew

mph if you tweaked it abit and got more than one of the motors working at same RPM you could easly recreate air treks although there is the issue of a place for a battery and were it would go :)

[WelchJosh]

i'd like to point out this wont work for AT'S or if ur trying ot use the motor to run some kind of transport its way to weak as so as say a 60kg? load is pushed on it than it will probaly stop the motor

[Kolosos007]

Hell, it's a START! Build off this! Make it better! FASTER! SOAR into the sky!

[daichi40]

air gear... airgear! AAAAAIIRRRR GEAAARRRRR

[ultimatecoaster123]

it looks like from the view you showed me that the wheel is actually small make a bigger wheel and your on your way to makein ats and money

[PentaROX]

if u get to build a real AT, u get a lot of money XD keep the good work

[wolfya11]

i would love to work on this project with you

[ZarroyBulleT]

CooL. I Think U Can Create Ur Own AirTReks !

[Bi0EagleZ]

lol no they couldnt be used for airtreks.

[LILxINUxKIDD]

Woot just a few more touches and designs and the could actually be used for Air Treks

[Undead6Lord6]

uhm... nice idea but we would need a much more powerfull one :D

[smtroboforum]

See one "Motorgear from an automotive actuator"

[markrocks9]

This may be quite fragile, don't you think?

[smtroboforum]

it's enough to carry a couple of kilos - the wheel and axis themself are very good, but a motor was too weak and I rebuild it using motor and gear from a car's window lift.

[loucus007]

what did u use to make this?

[smtroboforum]

A CD-ROM tray motor and a rollerskate wheel with a gear from an old inkjet printer. Easy to repeat, but not so useful - very weak motor and gears for this construction.

[brandonhud60]

@smtroboforum Does this mean... We can have Airtreks!?!

[bernaninano]

the horse power is too low, it need about 5 to 6 horse power or maybe higher(sorry if me eng sucks)

[smtroboforum]

it was made for 0.5kg robot and wasn't expected to be more powerfull, but cheap and quiet. Another one is stronger, but still drives only several kilos.

[bernaninano]

the horse power is too low, it need about 5 to 6 horse power or maybe higher(sorry if me eng sucks)

[xxJacob100xx]

@rollen8 I agree.

[smtroboforum]

it's not only motor required, but also a smart controller block, steady gear and an accumulator.

[Azure798]

so in other words this is not possible yet

[smtroboforum]

I think it's interesting idea and there're some projects and even build roller skates with motors published in Internet - they confirm it's important to safe control of driving and stop skates. I'd rather start design such system by prototyping. It's not hard to get required knowledge in this way. Actually each roller skate is a robot with specific behavior reacted according external conditions and driver signals. Start building little robots is the best way to design it (see Sparkfun, Pololu)

[roben999]

its not possible to obtain it if you want how about you put a brushless motor i think it's hard right

[smtroboforum]

Never used brushless motors.

[Azure798]

but if some how i could get my hands on a motor strong enough i would be able too right but how strong would it need to be

[smtroboforum]

A good motor is not enough for roller scates (see a funny clip "ACME Roller Skates"). I'm sure control of this equipment is very important and delicate part of the system. First I'd build a small prototype to calculate real ability to drive, control and stop. This is a reason I'm buiding prototypes first. You can see a number of such constructions on my channel.

[Azure798]

would said motor be easy to come by or is it hard to find or not made it

[smtroboforum]

this motor and gears are too weak

[Azure798]

hey dude is it possible to put a motor ina roller skate and make it move the wheels

[smtroboforum]

It's possible but you need a motor with more torque and firm gears.

IMHO motors on roller scates should be supplied by kind of remote control and some safe controller block - it's hazardous equipment
