Hi guys I am back again
euhm I found a site I hope its helpfull.

Faculty

im a pretty young kid but im very interested in the matter of building air treks. I found some thing that is similar to the final goal, and i hope that it may be of use. http://www.extremetoysforboys.com/index.php3/item/item/Whee lman's%20-%20Bushpig.html If it isnt of use, im sorry. it is a motorized skateboard unfortunatly it uses a gas motor but with the motors people have suggested before i think it can be done. Have you guys found a solution for the battery yet? And how about everyone puts up their blueprints so far? That way when a genius shows up he can tell where we are? (or anyone rly) Good luck to those who are doing this project

just a thought but what if you put motors inthe wheels and another motor out side? Is it one of those things that 1 + 1 doesnt equal 2?

so, the electric skate can go around 20 km per hour with 12V battery. so i thought, we'll prolly need a powerful battery.

coz when thinking simple way, 24V will go 40 and 48V can make us go 80km. but i'm sure it's not that simple.

Hi guys got some big news ^^
euhm found on you tube a few vids about an magnetic motor and stuff,
there are driving very fast and you could theoratically make them smaller so then you wouldn't need the energy source anymore.
The technology is there but almost nobody uses it.
Well all i can say more is see for your self

and check this one out 2 because its an motor bike running on magnetic so like i said before the technology is there but almost nobody uses it.^^

Please watch the vids so you know what i am talking about ^^
Faculty

i got the idea from Faculty's idea of a magnet motor what if you use a calloway V gate? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kCr3lOhMJCg&mode=re lated&search= its incomplete but how about the concept? All you have to get over is the sticky gate, http://www.fdp.nu/shared/manager.asp?d=files\Calloways%20Pe rendev
shows a track made of the concept and it works pretty well. Its easy to experiment, to make it stronger, just get stronger magnets. to put it inside of a wheel, inverse it. What do u think?

Thats a pretty good idea i mean getting over a gate if the gate is metal the magnets would stick to the metal the only thing we need after the mangnets is something to push something to move the wheels once on the gate,but the thing is how do we get up regular walls and gates all that type of stuff....see we also need to get a thing that when we jump we go higher then we are suppose to....

Edit by mod: Do not double post!

I found this page on Wikipedia it should give us an idea of what to use and what kind of materials we need:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_Trecks heres another that is basicly inline skates showing the parts of the inline skate:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inline_skates also a place where you can get a pair:http://secure.rollerwarehouse.com/orstore/default.aspx,now computer technology is also a thing we need so im working on looking up computer tech...

well ill be back tomorrow,bye

Well thx for using my idea because if you could get rit of the battery you would have more space for more stuff in you AT right?
so we need to work on the engine thingy because it can be done ^^
and about another thing euhm, we should get really an company involved in tho this.(just a thought)

And i heard sum rumours JUST RUMOURS, that they are making in japan AT's as we speak.
but i really doubt that

talk ya later, Faculty

I dont really think those are Rumours they might be,but i dont think they are sooner or later we will find out if they are or not...

it'd be cool if they created an AT but it would be cooler if we did first ^^ i found a conceptual video of another kind of magnetic motor http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rnRbF6eMSPU&mode=re lated&search=
I have an little in struction page about the Perendev designs that faculty put up before. Im not if its real but i think we should try it. http://www.callowayengines.com/msg17.htm
Sorry i cant be of more help

a magnet motors sounds good, but nono for magnet wheels. That won't work at all.

how come? (bad at physics -_-;;;)

so u guys decided to use motors?
cause my dad mentioned something about this engine thing you use in like these radio control cars or planes and whatnot and its like miniature.
WAY more powerful than the modern electric motors and TINY.
well, maybe not tiny but its just a bit bigger than the avergage 6 volt motor lol.
the only drawback (well probably through lightning's eyes) is that it's uses gas
...
i still dont get how it could be so bad though cause u probably only need like a little amount each go. so yeh im doin more research on that just let me know if u changed ur minds ^_^

No, Neo, I am not your mother. Guess again.

Hum, you can count me in this little adventure. ATs sound like real fun, so yeah. Since everyone is bringing up the motors I thought I'd add something else. You'd need some kind of sensor (either pressure or movement) that would speed up and slow down the motor. Plus, something with enough power most likely requires a fuse. I know people who say it can't be done but all it requires is the base of aggressive inlines, electronic skill, and design. I'm not too good with electronic things, usually they hate me, but inlines and design are my thing.

i could do a big collective quote and tell you all to go to hell. but i appreciate when people work for something and i would never do a thing like that to people that has worked to find ideas like you.

i could do a big collective quote and then explain case by case why every single one of these magnetic motors is not going to work. but that'd be tiresome and this forum has a weird system to do multiple quotes.

or i could link the post (it should be around page 9 or 10) where i explain why friction motors don't work and then edit it to make it include magnetic motors too, but i'm lazy

or i could link you to the f***ing second law of thermodinamic, wich we all should study in high school and that is probably the cause of my lazyness.

anyway i invite everyone on this post to stop posting sci-fi tech that look good but doesn't sell. first market rule, if it works, they sell it. from now on i'll only answer to post that include and/or reliable numbers or link to stuff that we can actually include (that limits to electric engines that run on batteries, i already posted why i don't want to work with oil, oh and btw the ecological boubts on the pollution problem of AT really made me laugh, a good one ; ) )in the project in relatively short time ( 4weeks).

now if you excuse me i'll go back to banging my head over the pointless calculation i'm doing and remembering myself that i suck way too much at physics and life to judge people.

p.s. 24hp is soooo a wrong number, i must have done an error somewhere but i just can't find it
