Radical Motion Simulator Project Exhibition Video

The Radical Motion Simulator is built by 3 mechanical engineering students in the creativity innovation enterprise (CIE) option over a span of 14 weeks in Singapore Polytechnic as part of their final year project and showcased in the SP Open house Spinnovex industry and public exhibition.

The simulator is actuated using electro-pneumatics computed by a dual networked PC setup and running on proprietary software as well as the hobbyist X-Sim software (www.x-simulator.de).

Led by team leader, Shaun Chng (www.shaunchng.com), the project won the highest possible gold award for the exhibition.

This is the informational multimedia video created by Shaun himself too and used in the exhibition itself.This is the informational multimedia video created by Shaun himself too and used in the exhibition itself.

That pretty cool dude

[shaunchng]

hey thanks man, appreciate that!

[triplea007]

So, when are you going commercial with this?

[sertravian]

Playing need for speed with this? just lol.

[nvidiapcgaming]

doesnt it tilt the wrong way when turning???

good sim annyway!

Considering that was was done by 3 students in a year, this is astounding.

Glad you've changed to electric actuators as the difference and response is better, specifically when coming towards harsher G-Forces. Keep up the great work guys and I hope that you do sell this product as I would love to try out and perhaps purchase it in the future if you were to go ahead with this.

How much did this cost to prototype? Must've been a fair dent to your coffers unless you go University funding.

[shaunchng]

Yes, there are were problems with the responsiveness given the dampening effect the pneumatic cylinders have over the valve setup. The mechanical switching of the valves also causes a split second delay in movement as well.

A newer version of this simulator had been developed and uses electric actuators for movement, so it's more precise and sharper in movement.

what are your plans for this sim? Production, sell plans online???

[taranchula97]

what game is it playing?

[Zico31]

Well done.. It doesnt look as though your pneumatics are correctly calibrated tho.. they seem either a bit out of sync or are possibly just a bit slow to react?

What did you use to program the Pneumatics?
