if making air trek succed we could turn by slowing down or braking 🤣

btw thanks for the email add ikki-san!!!!

True but at high speeds you might not make it and this actually depends on the breaking system and everything and sudden breaking would make us just fall on our faces 😀 But yeah good point I didnt even think of that 😀

Well, for the braking we could try a sharp turn. But yeah, the braking is the most important for this situation. 😐

the breaking actually has an easy solution, if u make it so that when you apply more weight to the back wheels that they are pushed into the skate about half an inch, you could attach a brake pad just above the wheel, that way when your weight shifts to the back, the breaks are applied. But it's not really necessary, when you skate on ice and you stop by turning at a sharp angle and leaning in the opposite direction of what ur traveling, you don't stop right away. The same thing happens with rollerblades, as long as you correctly counter balance yourself, you won't fall. But like i said, it's the same thing as any other sport, you will have to get used to it. Practice at lower speeds and work your way up.

how about making the AT's first then we can discuss breaking methods...

if there are no AT's there is no way to test the breaking methods

the construction schedule should be
drive system~>engine~>power source~> wheels~>breaks~>read system

tokuin is right it needs practice

@ImBZppl:
Actually, you have a point. What's the point of talking on the braking system if we don't even have the AT's yet? So let's make the AT first, then test it to see if can actually move. If it can move, THEN we can talk about the brakes, and so on.

@tokuin:
Yeah, I see where you're coming from. But, even by applying the brakes, you would still slide a little forward, and hopefully not.

Well, I'll draw out a sketch for the AT's, and post them up when I finish. It'll be a while though.

@ImBZppl
no offence but I think the engine should go first
whats are you going to drive if you don't have a working motor??

I was just wondering if anyone wanted to organize a team to start production on these. personally i live out in the boonies (North bay Ontario area) so i can't really help in person but id be glad to help any way i could. BTW what's the speed limit on city streets for Americans?

Engine is the biggest problem by far. A battery source can be found without problem as well as making a shell for the whole AT. But finding a strong enough engine that will be strong enough to reach a decent speed as well as be able to still move under the weight

what about an in wheel electric motor like this
it also takes care of the braking
and it's not short on power

don't worry about the speed limits of the streets
if air treks were real the cops sure couldn't catch up

and our country doesn't have speed limit
well......it has but the cops wouldn't know cause they don't have that gadget thingy to know if were over speeding 🤣

and remember dont worry about speed limits

@sagaris
that motor was huge its for cars!!!!!!!!!
@noxas
I have a motor here about a size of a scooter wheel the only problem is
it needs a 220 volts power supply but I haven't test it yet if it could carry a person
😐

I found a site for hub motors, its called www.goldenmotor.com
if u scroll down on the page you'll see a banner with motors on it, underneath it there's a link to see all the different motors, unfortunately, the smallest one they have is 6" which would be a little big for rollerblades, 4" would be the ideal size. I emailed them to see if they could make smaller ones and I'll post there reply when and if it comes. If u look at the motors, the are .pdf files with the performance curves, now I'm not a physicist so can someone who is good in physics figure out how fast the 6" wheel motor(HUB24T) could propel a human being? All the info u need should be on that .pdf file

the manufacturer makes smaller ones, for scooters

wow u came out of ur way to find this subject just so u can post some bullshit u don't even believe urself? cough no life cough
