Dyson car challenge

Dyson engineers constantly look to develop designs that do more with less. So a challenge was set: to create the fastest go-kart using a few Dyson spare parts and all the torque they could eke out from one of our handheld motors. After a few evenings' work, these are the results.

Nice to see a company that can have fun and treat its employees like real people.

The Dyson handhelds use brushless neodymium motors right? If so they have a ton of power and the torque is instant! You just have to provide enough juice from some high output lipo batteries and a good motor driver. The design with the guy sitting on it makes sense, he is able to put more weight on the wheels transferring all that torque straight to the ground.

Now if they could only sell their vacuums for less than their weight in gold.
