Already there!! And, like I said on that site, CARBON FIBER!! It is strong, light, and in the case of an accident, it's safer than fiber glass and would ABSORB alot of the inpact, unlike steel. 😃

Hey guys been out for a couple of days and I think I can help between the video on youtube an the info here I think I have just created a plausable design. we will have to use the scooter motor previously mentioned and pressure pads under the front of the feet. the sole will have two miniture bicycle brakes which when the more you lean back the stronger the brake will work or a cut off button. Now the inward curve of the feet will store the spring or miniture hydralics or even miniture shocks. the power source though would have to be stronger than Lithium-polymer,or Lithium-ion. and laslty a power controller would be held in four seperate units beside every wheel and a charging capble would be channeled to the back of the Air trek with a flap to close it and keep it dry and deture dirt. 😀

Hey idk if anyone has considered this but like what if the government ban the AT's since it might be to "dangerous". like remeber the pocket bike era? it was all the hype and everyone wanted one but the gov. made laws aginst it since it did'nt meet the safty regulations. lastly i want to join in the conversation but like where do i learn these things like, engineering, physics, and mechanincs 😕 😕

College.

You can't make Air Trek. After working on scanlating AG for a while, I couldn't put up with Oh!Great's bullshit physics anymore.

All you'd be making is shiny roller-blades. If that's your goal, I suggest researching official designs in terms of material, as they usually have a fairly good idea.

Like nobaka said, college. But you don't need college level physics to do stuff like this, all you need is highschool. And even if you don't know anything about it, you can help by pulling knowledge from different areas, like what you said: the governments possibly banning them due to use violations or danger issues.

Nobaka: not everything is possible we know. And it is actually impossible TO DATE to make identical AT's to the manga. But in a couple years? Who knows. Scientists are currently working on an engine that goes faster than the speed of light so that they can send probes distances that would take more than 50 years at the speed of light to travel and determine if black holes really do exist or not.
So: don't say it's /impossible/ just say it's improbable. As it is impossible is nothing but a word made up by small people who do not have the ability to achieve what others may. (No actual reference to you, just in general 😃 )

is this even possible?..and if you guys are even making it, it would take like 10 years..to get a basic prototype down...haha my bad i wasnt thinking when i entered it and stooped mid way

It is possible to make a motorized roller blade right now but not to the speeds dictated in the manga. For that we need a super powerful and incredibly small engine. There are already prototypes out there they just can't go very fast 🤢

Motorized skate?? Someone already made it. BTW you need OH!Greats permission to even make it. You need a business plan and advertisements to get sponcers.

Plz come if you got good ideas. We have a prototype in the making including a KPD a custumized motor. We have a business plan being made and some advertisements for sponcers and lightning90 is a admin. I am a mod and we are basically a couple months away from a working prototype.... So join us if you got anything to help us or can help us make something or can give us good ideas to improve the prototype..

If gov bans ATS we can always go under ground

Hey everybody, I'm sure you guys can make it to the end...Of course I'm going to help you guys...But I'm only good at drawing... 😔 sorry...please tell me if I can be any help. If not I'll just stand by and cheer you guys to go..^^

i got ideas, but can't draw it.. can barely draw stick man...

you'll be of help if you can draw what others told you ^^

Ok guys, at first i was just reading, but i saw that you guys never covered something....a kinetic engine would take only a short burst of electricity to get them started. couple that with a tranny (probably closer to a gyroscopic tranmission or something like a ten speed and have the gears on the wheels themselves aka air gears spec page), and the air suspinshion (the only suspension thatll work in my opinion) i used to aggressive inline, and now i am a drifter. but i applaud your effort to get things going. but i dont think that its much power being used...in all the instances i read, it was still similar to skating the regular way. you kick off, it produces a charge either a stored one or building up to one, and then when you reach a certain speed the engine would "match" yours and then add to it, and increase it.

upon further research, i found a site that may help. it has a listing of different patents in the works.

well if u were supposedly gona use gas for ATs it wouldnt hurt the enviroment that much since ATs cant hold much gasoline anyways. But there can always be another solution so T_T yea...anyways my friend and i are trying to make a pair of ATs. We need sum sponsers, support and money. Any help will be great.

but if u kick, it reduces the speed of the ATs so pretty much kenetic energy isnt much of a help. for breaks the rider can slide (like in ice skating) and push down on both wheels.

no, not that kinetic energy....like from the wheels...a kinetic engine. you could use electricity by the kicking action charging something (batt pak, cell, or energy saving fabric, material) once the charge has started the AT is essentially "on", and the pressure on the front of the AT is used like a gas pedal allowing the flow of elec, or regulating it ( more or less) the safety switch on the outside is great, and it wouldnt give you unlimited power....we shall have to wait for the LHC experiments to be done first, but foe a prototype, you guys are doin pretty good. google kinetic engines and do some reading...they are very small, and some are wheel mounted 😃

A motor vehicle kinetic energy recovery system uses one or more cylinders of an internal combustion engine as the first or primary stage in a multi-stage high pressure air compression system, a compressed air storage system, compressed air operated drive train boosters and vehicle management electronics to provide cooperation between the air compression, storage and booster systems. The multi-stage, high pressure air compressor system is operable through engine compression braking allowing kinetic energy of a vehicle to be recaptured during retardation of vehicle speed. so, the kick would take the place of the internal combustion to get the "kinetic" energy started...after that, the in wheel engines take over and recycle the energy

well wut would be the point of ATs if ur gonna use a kenetic engine? it would be the same as roller blading but then u have to wait until its fully charged -_- So i rather use a rechargeable battery pack that will last for a few hours. 😃

randomly jumps in after reading all 44 pages* look folks. yall can have your motors and whatnot but if you actually think about aggresive inlining and what the at's will allow us to do, we're going to be shifting our weight around quite a bit. and if we're already doing that, can't we assume that we will be using our legs to do a great deal of the work involved to get us moving? stop thinking of a means of transportation and start thinking of a means to make inline skates go faster. i heard of a suspension system that is a series of levers an gears. when no pressure is put on the wheels, the levers retract and lock onto the teeth of gears. when the person steps down on the wheels, their weight pushes the levers down, turning the gears which turn larger gears which make the wheels move faster. you don't really need an engine per say. you can use weight distribustion and shock absorbtion and recycle energy from gravity, kinetics, and motion. and if you'l like put a motor in the wheels or somehting but i think starting with this idea os better.

to give a better idea, let me paint a picture. you're looking at a roller skate with the toes pointing to the left. now imagine a see saw where the wheels would be. two in fact, one see saw in front and one in back. now let's focus on the back see saw. side a is the side facing closest to the toes and side b closest to the heel. side a is raised and side b is lowered. directly above side b is a gear. when bressure is put on side a, it loweres and respectively side b rises. side b then catches the teeth of the gear then rotates it. mind you the wheel will be rotating in reverse but there are means as to switch direction of the rotating wheel. this whole concept of weight redistribution can be applied. the force of your mass being pulled down coupled with the already moving wheels can make these wheels go even faster. now take the front see saw and replace it with any motor or what have you that you want. now you have two means of propultion. you have an electically charged wheel and a kinetic wheel. ya'll are creative people think of somehting.

i still think that recycling energy is key because we all know that current tech levels have the ability to have a small but mighty engine and since we're all nerds i'm sure one of us has a means of making one. remember recycle energy. have at it folks.
