NASA Axel Rover

[NganaJHone]

after i watched this video NASA Axel Rover, my insight is very open because the video is very good to give information

[Ondelendo]

I am very happy to see the vidoe NASA Axel Rover from you, hopefully the others also are happy for You

[Kricardose]

I am very happy to see the vidoe NASA Axel Rover after you give this

[bebeheuy]

I Love The Video NASA Axel Rover It Can Increase My Knowledge

[Mjhond]

Steady I Really Like This Video NASA Axel Rover

[AntoMelta]

Good, I like that you share this video NASA Axel Rover , I wish success always

[willamricard]

Nice Video NASA Axel Rover That You Share , So Very Nice Thanks You

[imegatrone]

I Really Like The Video NASA Axel Rover From Your

[bundawartini]

Your Video NASA Axel Rover Is Very Useful Sharing

[acaste4246yahoocom]

Now, how is it that it retrives the teather?

[woo2fly18]

FAKEE

[REALDualDesertEagle]

Looks EXTREMELY fragile!

[vmorgun]

I want to fuck to that music

[zawzero]

bet they don't use a mac for controlling

[emospadez]

looks gay slow and stupid

[bestamerica]

'

2 wheels robot is not looking good,,,

better try to make a little bigger size of ROVER with 6 wheels or 2 big light weight tracks

[mourningxglory]

Does this mean our taxes will go down? I mean.... I know we're paying for the brand name and everything but...what?.... twenty bucks to build this? I guess Obama DID have a plan for lowering the national debt.

[usernamen0tfound]

So thats where our tax dollers went....

[john17972]

It has 10 blades on each wheel. Why not 8 or 9?

[i8hy6e3]

if I was him, I made the super realistic dynamic freaking animal robot for all purpose. stupid richs must die and the everyone can have the chance. I can prepare for my dream in all my life. but those students think money is more important. stupid world makes stupid thing.

[delatroy]

Bold move for NASA to be entering the mobile handset market directly against Apple like this. Goes on sale in August.

[ceasefire066]

sometimes one needs a simple idea like this...way better n lighter than spirit

[Hiddenjello]

this appears to be more of a cry for help for more money for researh

[stonerscolony]

I would of like to have seen it fall down a slope and land against something on it's side, Does it rotate on it's axis as I'm assuming gyros are counter balancing using the rod end so is rotation limited by the rod on "stuck on side" scenario

[mvems]

@media1984 hover car?

moon: no atmosphere = no hover

mars: very little atmosphere = very inefficient, impractical hover

[madia1984]

why not make a hover car for mars/moon exploration purposes.

[SilentMosquito]

the schnuhe hättense at the bar even retouch can also get away ....-.-

[azartash]

Rig job or not, more than likely this is a prototype and not a final product. There is nothing wrong with building a proof of concept with parts that already exist. I'm sure a mission ready iteration would look a lot more pro. Anyway, it is a fantastic design. I wish the budget was bigger for NASA, but at least one good thing from this is that the budget adversity stems creativity and reduces the chance of wasteful spending.

[mitchn6058]

i think it looks like a rig job

[7Stark]

what if it finds ice underground, could it walk on it?

[snelpiller]

if you could walk on Uranus, how much stronger would gravity be there then here on earth?

[basecius]

@snelpiller

If you mean on the visible "surface", it would be about 2.5 times the gravity on earth. But that would of course require walking inside an aeroplane, since it's just gas.

(It's 11.2 times the diameter, and 318 times the mass. 318/11.2^2 = 2.54)

That's a lot less difference than I'd imagined.

[snelpiller]

@basecius cool thanks :) and yeah I would have thought the gravity would be far greater then here on earth. I guess it is but still :P

[MrSpicee]

@snelpiller depends how tight you clench your ass cheeks ;)

[DjSplash123]

nice quality

[taylornichole56]

i dont get it the spent all this money..how is it going to get usd out of debt in society..what was it made for..?

[DaTANkKiLLa]

Nasa's 5,000,000 dollar bicycle wheels

[themahdiking]

proud to be arab

[imatelly]

good try,but bigdog tech would work much better

[agun17]

@imatelly

WRONG.

The prototype in the video can go up 90º slopes. Boston dynamics bigdog tech cannot.

[ninjaraku]

What if you want to unhook the tether...?

[marcuelcajon]

Very Cool.

[MegaLichking]

cool

[SikGamer70]

And this thing fires and recoils the cable while it's moving? From what I can see it doesn't and it's not useful for astroscience unless it can.

[tablacksheep]

Pretty cool... ;o) I want one of this toys for my son...

No I'm serious that this robot is a great invention. It is simple and effective.

[LATINOFUCKA]

wow dude thoose rims look alot like bike rim's :)

[mmapp80]

put a grenade on it and wars are over

[historysky]

looks cheap... made out of an old bicycle

[Nerdswar]

I gotta admit it is true MaxTvO2 we been paying a lot of taxes on piece of shit. that is why i hate this country (USA).

[liOVERLOADil]

Then leave.

[foxprogt]

thats where the rims to my bike disappeared to!

[bboybiogrind]

SUE THEM =D lawlz

[jjswimmer2014]

hmmmmm i see one verry big problem the fact that you cant reciol the cable once it is out so it is litarly on a short leash

[dranoel1963]

lol thats it? two wheels and a metal stick?????? man those are stupid

[MaxTv02]

ok, we spent millions of research and development money to come up with the same dam platform that Tyco RC came up with on the Shell Shocker toy about 3 years ago... slap a NASA sticker on it and suddenly its "incredibly complex and expensive" U.S. F.I.R.S.T. comes up with better or functional robots, AND THERE HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS!

[BR5499a]

Well, you are correct. Just looked up Tyco Shell Shocker. A toy like this has been out for years.

[MaxTv02]

ok bro thanks, spread the word man, we can do this in our own backyard. lol

peace

[deaftodd]

nah, atv style is the best

[PetrFM]

Nice low tech solution, but in my opinion problem of terrain clearance on Mars is in energy we can spend for motors - this robot need about 50W of energy (my approsimation), but how mobile it would be with solar panels wit 50W output ?

[dav1dh0ff]

it would be cool to see one of these that rides on the back of a bigger rover. then the big rover could take it to the craters, let it explore, and reel it back in.

[WaaromIkWeer]

crap, why they do all this ? why we spend so much money in those projects ? iff thay all spen the money for better things we would have a better social life!

[balderdash707]

You're not even from this country, why do you care how we spend our tax money?

[PosVibeMerc]

Why don't you spend YOUR money on making our Social Lives better? You only want to control how I spend MY money, and you want to spend YOUR money however you want.

Be the change you want to see in the world. Don't tell me to be it for you.

[WaaromIkWeer]

For sure !

[dinmagic]

another one of you people. I'm surprise you haven't argued why we spent money on this instead of finding cures for diseases.... yeah as if the entire money from the whole damn nation only goes to space exploration and nothing else.

[illspirit1965]

man if the entire nasa budget was diverted to finding cures for diseases or fighting world hunger, thered be way less fkd up ppl in the world

[nilbud]

It's amazing how little you know and yet how prepared you are to make mistakes, a true scientist.

[Aurelovanovalopta]

@dinmagic Money in the very basic is a failing concept, people just don't get that...

[7Stark]

@dinmagic if a nation finds the cure for many diseases, their population would increase significantly. Leaving diseases active helps government control population growth.

[dietermarco]

@dinmagic

yea NASA's budget is so big compare to the entire budget.

[AgrivatedKillah]

@dietermarco no it's not...

[vwguyaz87]

well somebody's gotta do it, god knows your country won't ever. damn hippie

[Sonyoooo3]

robot always get stuck like rover etc.

[sandrolominashvili]

tqveni deda sheveciii! eee she klisshvilooo, solar power-s mogcem pirshi!

[sandrolominashvili]

tqveni deda movtkaan!!!!!!!!

[TheRealSiguy]

You realize that more is spent on the Iraq war in two weeks than NASA's annual budget? The space program's budget is tiny.

Giving the space program more money would in fact contribute to the economy, considering that there are over 200,000 professionals working for NASA.

[johnson2324]

there are more professionals in army, following your logic, this should contribute to the economy? I guess space contributes to the economy in some different ways, not just by donating 200k people.

[pianosidechat]

@TheRealSiguy and if they were given a higher budget they wouldn't need to build robots out of spare bike parts.

[delatroy]

@TheRealSiguy haha. Then why doesn't the government dig ditches and fill them back in? this is jobs right?

[Ryantron9000]

@delatroy

Well the problem with that is that it is completely worthless and creates nothing other then jobs. NASA funding has yielded a massive number of technologies that are used everyday by us. If you or a loved one has been in a car accident in the last twenty years and didn't die you might want to thank NASA for developing structural engineering programs that help make safer cars. Thats just one significant patent that NASA licensed to private industry and helps us today.

[you701]

i do not understand how it can pick up samples.

also where is the spot for the solar power?

why do the existing rovers even have solar power? nuclear batteries should be more than powerful enough for such relatively short term missions.

[hinkospade]

the next generation of NASA mars rover, the Mars Science Laboratory, does indeed do away with the solar panels in favour of just such a "nuclear battery"

[you701]

nice lol, i answered my own question!

The rover will be powered by radioisotope thermoelectric generators (RTGs), Solar power is not an efficient power source for Mars surface operations because solar power systems cannot operate effectively at high Martian latitudes, in shaded areas, nor in dusty conditions. RTGs can provide reliable, continuous power day and night, and waste heat can be used via pipes to warm systems, freeing electrical power for the operation of the vehicle and instruments.

[spartonne]

The current rovers have done pretty damn well on solar power alone, even when the panels get covered in dust, they still keep on trucking. Absolutely amazing machines spirit and oppurtunity are. But nuke power willbe better.

[basketBallboy235]

well figure it out yourself fag
