LOWRACER HYBRID -3-

[68mauthan]

SO COOL !!!! I love it man part man part android like machine- Enjoy watching all the videos clips-

[ChrisLuxembourg]

@68mauthan Thanks!

[botacarga]

espetaculo..

[saylrp]

Cool, It looked like there were platform pedals, a clipless system or even toe clips would improve efficiency.

[GuiltyIsland]

At 5:43 you see his Mostler MT900

[ChrisLuxembourg]

@GuiltyIsland Mostly a Mosler...

[albedran2]

Finally something worth watching, Great job man, you worked hard and smart.

[Thijs18588]

why dont you have suspention it is jus so much more comfortable! rear suspention isnt that hard to make!

[ChrisLuxembourg]

@Thijs18588 I like it hard as hell! I have suspension with ballon tyres...

[jamejamejame1000]

cool

[spectrospirit]

All i can say is that THIS is the FUTURE!

I have loads of ideas, but i don't have the tools needed to put a project like this together, although i could try, expecting more or less from the finished project.

You wrote that you're working on something better these days, i'm exited to see what it is.

If i had the skilles and the tools needed, i would put together something amphibious, ignoring the limitations given by the land and the ocean.

here's a new idea for you: Hydrofoil!

Have fun :)

[5150Famous]

you're a badass. theres so many facets to a build like this, SO much knowledge to it. all these guys being critics, let them sit at home, they couldn't build this from a kit with instructions and you created in a world that only copies. well done sir your low racer is amazing

[WarblesOnALot]

@ChrisLuxembourg

@magna59 G'day Bob, thanks for sending me here. Fascinating. Chris, that's a wild machine you've come up with...! A couple of issues prevent me from wanting one though, 1st is that the 4 Engines appear to add up to more than the 200 Watts that I plan to squeeze under. Your rig would have to be fully Road Registered, here. And, that's a HEAP of Expense. Also, I've flown Sailplanes with Canopies like that. In Oz they're Solar Ovens !

[ChrisLuxembourg]

@WarblesOnALot G'day! I'd sent you a new video... 

[mhammed11]

grate

[eviladam1993]

This is what Im dreaming to do in the future. Though i think that 4 engines is too much. One good motor would do, because imo your chain is going to crash :D I love the bending idea when you turn. Absolutely stunning.

[ChrisLuxembourg]

@eviladam1993 You are to late! I send you something...

[BoyPopoy22]

As far as i can see, there's nothing normal about you. You are absolutely amazing. Thumbs up for this genius.

[sn0wchyld]

fantstic build mate, great to watch!

what sort of welds did you use?

[DejaVu8]

how much did you put into it??

im studying engr. and i wish i could do something like this

[ChrisLuxembourg]

@DejaVu8 ...to much! Of course you can study, it's your future! But I'd never study, I'm a normal electrician...

[Kounglou]

When u gonna make an airplane like this m8?

If you can make it light enough it should be imba to fly on human power,

They did it over the fr eng channle once but the guys was peddeling straight his power to the prob like this it should be muchmore reliable.

[GamelsmurfXXX]

Gute s jobb aber sind dem gewicht zu swear?, Howe many kilo/hp ?

[ChrisLuxembourg]

@GamelsmurfXXX Se on vanha versio hybridi, 110kg & 4 moottorit. Se oli nopea ja on saanut paljon valtaa. Sähköinen teho oli noin 36W/Kilogramm ...

That's the old version of the hybrid, 110Kg & with 4 motors. It was to fast and has got to much power. The electric power was about 36W/Kilogramm...

[ChrisLuxembourg]

@god4488 Nun ja, da möchte ich dir nicht reinreden.....

[ChrisLuxembourg]

@god4488 ????? Möchtest du dir denn ein eigenes Liegerad bauen?

[ChrisLuxembourg]

@god4488 Wozu sollte ich ein Patent machen was es schon fast 100 Jahre gibt? Das gleiche Prinzip bei D-E-Lokomotiven und bei Hybrid-Autos, nur das bei mir keine 8000PS bzw. 50PS sonder nur 1/5PS(ca100-150W) massgebend sind! Ob ein Motor oder die Tretkurbel am Generator Strom erzeugt, das ist egal, es muss aber immer die Batteriespannung bei Laune gehalten werden.... Mit einer tiefentladenen Batterie brauch man nicht loszufahren!!

Was machst du den in Holland? Fietsen oder wiet'sen?

[ChrisLuxembourg]

@god4488 ITA?Cool, dann kannst du mir was neues programmieren und die EEPROM's schiessen... :o)

An Massenproduktion ist nicht zu denken, viel zu teuer und mit 4250h würde ich also alle 4 Jahre ein Fahrrad fertig bekommen. Laufende Verbesserungen/Änderungen sind in den Prozess einzubeziehen. Würde ich es in China für 1€/h aufbauen lassen, könnte das aufgehen, aber für 86€/h Werkstatt-NormalTarif bräuchte man ein sehr dickes Portemonnaie..... Der Trend geht aber wieder zum unmotorisiertem Velo!

[ChrisLuxembourg]

@god4488 Du bist im einem absolut veralteten Video gelandet! Das Bike wurde 2010 komplett von Analog- auf Digital-Technik und auf Naben-Motor umgerüstet! Durch trampeln wird die Batterie geladen. Wenn ich fahren möchte muss ich trampeln, fahren ohne trampeln ist nicht erlaubt(§§§)! Im 4-Motoren-System ist keine Recouperationsladung durch den Freilauft der Gangschaltung möglich! JETZT gibt es keine Schaltung mehr, alles ist schallisoliert getrennt, Motorraum, Batterieraum, Kofferraum, Cockpit...

[ChrisLuxembourg]

@ChrisLuxembourg ...Ich schicke Ihnen das neue Video!!! MfG

[fordlukebo]

aren't ya gonna have a windshield wiper on the bike? and a singal lights and few other things? but your project is too awesommeee!!!

[ChrisLuxembourg]

@fordlukebo

No, I don't need a wiper, the solution is nanotechnology!

I've experimented with silicone based mixtures , with an excellent result:

The whole bike is dirt-, water- and oil-repellent!!!

Well, this is video #3, it's not finished yet, but in video #4 it's ready to start....

[matiasfalero]

Hi chris, I have a question, what career you should study to get that you built, I'm about to finish the electro-mechanical technician.

[matiasfalero]

Hi, I have a query Chris. That career has studied to reach something. I am to end electro-mechanical Technician. I would also like to know. lowracer your project, meant to increase the power from which generate with your effort?

[Signmacula]

Flywheel Hybrid Technology 

[Signmacula]

Have you considered including a sterling engine placed on the caps? And reintroduce the knetics from it in the flywheel crank-rotor-majobby. (What do you officially call that by the way?) You have by far created the most impressive piece of machinary I have yet seen. I think what you have made is revolutionary, and thank God finally somebody is doing it right!

[ChrisLuxembourg]

@Signmacula

The common flywheel is now (for me) unnecessary. It's replaced with the electric never turn flywheel, the cap and the super-cap!

This thing is officially called a hybrid-bike.....

[6bettyboo9]

dude you rocked my world with your work ! you should be in charge of new car development ! you could save our planet! seriously you are my new hero!! build me one please.

[ChrisLuxembourg]

@6bettyboo9

Thanks! But I'm sure I cannot save the planet, the humans destroy byself..... Take a look at BP! If you wanna have a Hybrid Bike you must nearly wait 3 year. If you are a good DIY'er you can create your own vehicle, how many wheels that doesn't matter and as large as you want! The sky is the limit.....

[xmicina]

in the end of video (making panel with controls-watmetrs,airmetres, only one thing mised= altitudemeter and measure of radioactivity :) It realy makes mi smile how is posible that so smart and inteligent people (crazy lonely scientist) can do such wonderful things and go so far any in wrong way. If your target is to build human powered tank, you are on good way. You make samy mistake like nowadays car manufacters: built car wich needs more and more gas and money to travel. Make it simpler!!!

[ChrisLuxembourg]

@xmicina

No problem.... The altitude I got from the navigation-system. Radioactivity I'd never needed, the ION-flow is much better then an atomic fragmentation!

[Guds777]

U R MY IDOL.

[MeteorMark]

Hello Chris,

this is a verry nice bike you''ve build and a neat concept!

As the coördinator of the DIY Builders corner at Cycle Vision 2010 in Amsterdam I would like to invite you to come over and show your Hybrid (Stealth...) on our venue.

More info can be found at cyclevision nl or at ligfiets net

Best regards,

Mark.

[bisket2003]

DANG. You sure are some sort of a mad scientist!. Lets see that thing out on the streets. How fast it go and for how long can you ride on it with out having to petal?

[ChrisLuxembourg]

@bisket2003

OK, maybe sometimes! For a bicycle it's to fast.....

For every meter I wanna ride I MUST PEDAL, that's the condition(law) here!

It's also an unlimited range vehicle.....

[bisket2003]

@ChrisLuxembourg Wicked cool mate. Still have yet to see a fly by shot of the thing though. The on ride vids are cool, but I wanna see one of you driving past at full speed. It will help put it all into relevance.

[TimpBizkit]

The music in these videos reminds me of the PC game Death Rally

[ChrisLuxembourg]

@TimpBizkit

I've got a lot of problems with music here (WMG), so I decided to produce my own music. This music was produced with sampled instruments and a PC.....

[sbeer6er]

where do I find vid of this outside?

[ChrisLuxembourg]

@sbeer6er

It's just here, round the corner......

[qrrak]

Tebrik ederim, çalışmalarında başarılar diler en kısa zamanda tanışmak isterim.

[ChrisLuxembourg]

Memnun oldum. Sağolun!

[sycima]

where did you get the glass for it?. it is custom made........(or it is transparent plastic?) thanks

[ChrisLuxembourg]

Everything is self-made! I have got the PVC from the DIY superstore.

Exactly the material is PVC-U, it's slightly blue colored and has got a thickness of 1mm.

The glue, called SOUDAL "FIX ALL Classic", it's a MS-POLYMER glue and hyper flexible(400%).

[sycima]

thanks for the fast replay

[Hutakeshi]

hi i am a student in mexico, I was working at ringlin bros. circus and I like your creation, I try something similar, but I never had the idea of electric motor and want to know what type of motor do you used tanks

[ChrisLuxembourg]

Hi! All 4 motors are 24Volt DC-motors. The speed changed only with the voltage! Now, I'm testing a new system with a brushless DC-hubmotor(BLDC). There the speed changed with the frequency and the voltage. For the exact position, the motor has got 3 sensors inside. What's the better system? I don't now really... 4motors in connection with a speed hub has got an incredible power, but it emits a lot of chain noise. The hub motor works super silent, I'm working out the maximum power!

[Marilola75]

lol i see you like rammstein

[ChrisLuxembourg]

??? rammstein is an excellent music group.

But the most time I am creating bikes,

and just sometimes I am playing E-guitars.....

[Spawn1986freedom]

nice work

how fast is "it" ?

how lang can you drive with batterie?

what batterie did you use ?

regards from germany

[ChrisLuxembourg]

Yes, thanx dude!

Eine neue Antriebstechnik ist im Test, aber auch ein neuer LiPo-Akku mit SuperCaps!

Grüsse von Luxusburg

[frankierays]

Do you have a "on the road" test ride video for this Lowracer?

[ChrisLuxembourg]

OK, maybe..... To ride the Lowracer Hybrid Speedbike is a strange feeling, it's like a super silent pimped out "Messerschmitt" bubble car!

I don't feel the weather, don't hear what's outside going on and it's nearly like my cozy living room.....

The next creation in 2010 is a tilting recumbent trike conventional only with pedals, chain and a derailleur gear!!!

[ChrisLuxembourg]

Ok, but why you love me? Are you gay?

[ChrisLuxembourg]

The generator produces AC, only AC you can transform in to another voltage and only DC you can store in your caps and batteries!

To drive with a photovoltaic system you may be need a whole roof(house).

To your energy calculation:

I CANNOT PRODUCE ANYTHING FROM NOTHING!!!

[ChrisLuxembourg]

Plans are not available, I haven't a plan. But you can look the videos #1,#2&#3 of the Lowracer Hybrid!

[ZedO2143]

du verrückter Einstein ;) hast nen Monster erschaffen :)) also, super Sache machst du da, hast du schon ein video gedreht wo du damit durch die Strassen gedüst hast, würde mich sehr interessieren

[ChrisLuxembourg]

Nun ja, ich habe noch keinen grauen Haare, und das "Monster" ist nur ein Fahrrad!

[patinsley]

honestly this is the coolest thing i have seen on youtube in a while... but im scared of this man... im sure he is making a thing to end the world! god he works hard !!! good job man!

[ChrisLuxembourg]

Thank you very much, but you don't need to be scared of me and I don't wanna have the end of the world!

I am sure I'd made a thing to ride around the world and of course for a better world without pollutions.....

[ChrisLuxembourg]

1st- I don't know what you want, I'm not an octopus!

2nd- I'm not your friend, I don't know anything about you!

3rd- I'd used 4 motor with each 1.5Kg, that's equal with a motor of 6Kg! Additional the speed is shifted by the 4 motors without electronics:

4serial-LO,2serial&2parallel-M­ED,4parallel-HI

4th- If you wanna more efficiency, take LiPO cells with super caps.

5th- I don't wanna pilfer music from another person/artist, so I'll create my own music and that's my copyright!

[ChrisLuxembourg]

6th- THANKS for yours "nice" comments, YOU HAVE BEEN BLOCKED!

[ChrisLuxembourg]

Can anybody tell me why this fool only wanna use 1 motor? Did your car have only 1 piston? Did you have only one leg? It would be more efficient you maybe had 4 legs, but what's effective power without a brain???

[michaeljturk]

Chris Nicely Done!

Very impressive been watching the vids for a while.

The caps are also a nice touch,is it total self generating now, or do stil have to top it up with batteries?

Because you had the alternator to charge the batts?

BTW are you sponsored i think you on to something :) with the caps.

[ChrisLuxembourg]

Hi, Thanks, but no sponsors! With the caps the energy flow is nearly 1:1, but expensive. I build in now 12pieces of 2.5Volts/700Farads SAMWHA caps. That's a lot of stuff and I'll need my batteries almost always. Ok, the alternator charge the batts and I charge the alternator. BUT if I had a lazy day and I don't wanna pedal strong, ONLY the batts can pimp my power!

A REAL PERPETUUM MOBILE DOESN'T EXISTS!!!

[michaeljturk]

Ok, but your talking about using super caps instead of batteries.

I thought this isn't possible as the caps dont hold the charge long enough like batts do?

How are you going to do this?

I am still a beginner :)

[ChrisLuxembourg]

It's possible with the caps and it's better than batts. Batts are very sensitive to cold, and caps are not. Compare your cellphony in summer and in winter, douple capacity loss!

How long caps can hold the charge is only a question of the FARADs!

To replace the batts with SAMWHA caps: 12pcsx5000FARADs/2.5VOLTs

Price: 12 x 550EUR = 6600EUR

...for that price I got 54batts!

The best configuration, that batts and caps are running parallel together, like in modern hybrid cars!

[FEDERALOKIDO]

I´d like to know some specs:

height, weight, speed...

[dazzerre]

WOW- Nice Work please make a video while your driving it and load it up to Youtube. I want to see the power of your motor on street it looks so awesome!!!

[ChrisLuxembourg]

Thanks...

I'd some videos of very fast riding here and I delete it. The 4 motors has got so much power as my muscles never can have.

But I promise you, I'll make a new video.....

[ChrisLuxembourg]

I only could say, it's not easy, it's a challenge!!!

If you wanna start with a good frame, check out the "LOWRACER - the creation". That's the same system and potty to handle!

[Louixx]

Amazing! impressed with this too. You should talk to the man of aerorider. Very much impressed Sir!

[ChrisLuxembourg]

Thanks! I don't know the man of aerorider, but I know the aerorider. In summer it's an incubator and in winter it's a freezer. So I decided to build my own "aerorider" with an automatic climatisation and air heating. From the construction it's a bicycle(trike), BUT from the ride comfort it's like a super silent pedal powered "Messerschmitt" bubble car.

[gigabeto]

I always wanted to build a tricycle-like, but never had the idea of putting an alternator to charge the batteries .... I'm even willing to give back with your prototype
