Homemade Segway II

[ghpresman]

i would totally buy one from you, let me know , thanks

[perfectlydark007]

it needs to go at least 8 times faster

[thepresident1981]

bigger tires dude like 10s ur about to cut off ur toes there

[metalsloug]

Your physics teachers can be proud of you !

[Quedly]

Doughnuts?



[mapukmapuk]

@Quedly no, dog nuts

[badcoairsoft11]

best most reliable homemade segway stand up on a skateboard :P

[William44isme]

Wow! That really is amazing! Great work!

[BLEQC]

i'd rather skate

[fpstina]

bigger wheels required.

[dccamer021]

Who wears short shorts, We wear short shorts. I just had to.

[OurTroopsRule]

Sweet cutoffs.

[facout]

lol this Segway is powered by Gravity



[RaWclan97]

its soo slow though

[WHChen96]

Is it that hard to take a step and walk? LOL

[learber]

@WHChen96 thats not the point stupid... its called engineering .. they are trying to make something for the acomplishment not so they dont have to walk

[toyghgh]

wow good job guys A+ lol

[mikebarriga]

didnt you see the Dont try this at home warning

[FlashUser95]

Thats really cool, you just saved a couple 1000 dollars :)

[54T4NL0L]

hey cool now that's done you can start building your prom date

[purgatoriums]

Queer ass flipflops

[arahiko]

hi,

I am also currently working on this as my school project

may I request a tutorial from you on how you make this Segway

I hope you will share your knowledge with me, I would appreciate it a lot.

thanks

[AlexDovzhenko]

thats just crap

[l2pkorudie1]

sooooonn offffff a bitch wow man

[pswise94]

Nice legs. lol.

[simonaglen]

Hi!

A friend and I are making a segway for engineering school project.

I was wondering wether you know if you could send us the source code :).

Also, if you've got some information on what processor and gyro you've used and where you got them from; I would appreciate it a lot.

[schelenzo]

Hello simonaglen,

I'm working on a how to tutorial of this device. It will be a video that I'll post on you tube, very soon I hope.

When are you looking to complete your project?

[simonaglen]

Hey :) It has to be done by late june. please let me know when your diy-video is up:)

Thanks a lot.

[eli5771]

@simonaglen that is cool as hell! what were those motors from? look expensive.

[derman077]

@simonaglen This is your teacher. meet me after class.

[flipy911]

sweet!, lol

[siedpe13]

right angle motors-bad idea

[bfdpowers]

Why?

[siedpe13]

less efficient, and less power compared to straight motors

[rodstartube]

why

[siedpe13]

the process of taking the applied energy and directing it 90 degrees limits the overall output of the motor and decreases the durability, therefore it requires more energy to stay up to par with a more simple of design 'straight' motor. i cant say that im a electronics expert but the application of a 90degree bend doesnt go unaffected when it comes to motor

[rodstartube]

false.

[mryellow123]

A simple 90deg gearing don't take that much energy to turn. You're probably thinking about universal joints.

[pittuck]

It looks to be a standard wheelchair motor setup - in which case the right angle gearbox makes for a fairly efficient gearing down from possibly thousands of rpm to a few hundred.

[fetymann]

dude..  you need to upgrade those handi wheels. bigger = faster!

[schelenzo]

It's been hard to find tires that will fit the bolt pattern on the wheels... if someone can point me in the right direction I'd love get some... The bolt pattern is 4 bolts at 3.5 inches diagonal

[fetymann]

is it possible to redesign your bolt pattern? or would that tread on Segway's patent?

[DBmack641]

@schelenzo Looks lke you got those motors and wheels from a Sunrise Medical quickie P222se. You will need to stick with the same brand so look for S646 wheels. Inorder to make them work you will need to change out the hubs. You dont really have tomany options but what I told you is the best solutions. The chairs are somewhat out of date so you should be able to get a good deal on them not. try looking on ebay or call up a local rehab equipment deal because they might have some laying around.
