Can someone tell me where I can see airtreks for sale in the web? I want to know the price for a pair of airtreks,if there is no airtreks made in this world maybe we can make it together.Cum on who's the leader to make this thing? we can make it real,I've seen many techs that people have made in this world.Check the youTube.Thx 🙂 😃

what are you talking about!!!!!!!
what do you you think were doing !!!!!!!huh!?!

:-(

@masterdeathteddy: But they are powered right? That' s cool, you already have a useable frame for your air trek. Now all we need to do is find you a motor and a suitable power supply. But are those wheels still just normal sized rollerblade wheels, where is the motor?

Inside the frame.... manage to find a small enough motor to fit in there and able to move me.....

just to remind people...

okay first of all the skates are not supposed to move you its supposed to add to your skating speed making you faster AT is not a lazy mans sport you need to be athletic in order to participate so for your motor you are going to need one that has various gears inside it so when you hit certain skating speeds it can change gears enabling you to skate longer and faster.

skates are merely to assist you

we already know that much and it's been mentioned on several occasions, we don't need a motor with different gears because we aren't gonna find a motor capable of reaching speeds higher than 35mph guaranteed. What we need is a motor that sacrifices torque for a high speed rotation. That way it remains our job to accelerate but the motor will keep our speed from slowing down. It will have the power necessary to propel us but it would cause a large power drain if we overused that ability, so basically it would only be able to accelerate us at a speed that we are incapable of reaching with the strength of our muscles.

BTW, i had thought, kinda unrelated but what if u made a skate that connects both wheel with a chain but made on of the gears bigger than the other, would that force one wheel to spin faster than the other and just keep accelerating?

Okay, I've been talking to my friends in Welding, and I have two of them willing to participate in the project. Their only end is if it works out, and I believe it will, they want to test it out. However, as we all know the end of the school year is almost here, and I'm pretty sure everyone has plans for the summer vacation, and Ieave for Basic Training in July. So if there's anyone who agrees with me, NOW would be the time to start handing in ideas so I can get the blueprint worked on. My email is gfontanez123@yahoo.com

Looking foward to it!! We can do this!! 😃

I Believed That I Could Fly Without Wings... And Without Reason...

well basically your friends are only going to be working on the frame right? so here's what you need to know, you can start with a basic frame for normal in-line rollerblades. Than you need to modify the wheel supports to accommodate two wheels roughly 4-5" in diameter. Than we need room to put wiring and power supplies, the best way to do this would be to design a compartment that's 1" high and the same shape and length as the shoe. Now find a way to put it in between the sole of the shoe and the wheel support frame. If anyone can think of something that i missed, feel free to ad. Also if putting in a 1" high compartment is unreasonable, we could make it 1cm high or less just for the wiring and put the battery mount on the back going up the leg.

Hey newbie here, but the ideas been playing in my mind for months now. Thought id act on it before it drove me crazy!

Have read back, like, 6 pages so i think im up to date (ish). Personally dont think that having external power supply is unreasonable at this early stage. That means that the blade is not completely destroyed, and it can be a bit bigger. The power supply that is.

Also i read alot of stuff about needing a powerful enough motor. There were alot of websites and models named that i didnt recognise so this might already have been discounted but... i no that some model helecoptor motors are stupidly powerful for their size... just a thought.

Hope that helps, if i can do anything else...

while it's true that the motors for model helicopters are often overpowered, it's usually the torque that's too high. Since the rotation for the rotor doesn't have to be very fast to gain lift, it doesn't really help us in this situation. Also you would need a pretty big model heli to get the size were looking for. But keep looking for alternatives to in-wheel or printed motors, if we can find something that isn't too bulky and IS NOT chain driven, we could use it in a prototype.

Duely noted, so what torque are we aiming for in a perfect world?? and am i right in thinking the size should be <5" (again in a perfect world)

Im not much on technical bits but if i have all the info im happy to trawl the net. Im a student afterall and have nothing better to do!!

Preferably between 3-5", there are motors out there, but they are really hard to get unless u buy large quantities, so basically we need a third party supplier. For torque we would only need a 300W motor, maybe less, as long as the top speed is around 3000rpm.

im new to this and i want to contribute something to the project. i saw that the post started about three years ago and still havent finished. i also am not willing to wait 100 years to complete. i want to finish this project.

wow.impressing,most of you guys are actually willing to make this air trek.
next: how about making a game like in 1/2 ouji?
as in Second Life [i think that was the title]

*oh,i'd like to contribute...if i can.

oh i see the problem... well we can only keep looking, one other thing ive thought of and hasnt been mentioned as far as i can see is that the wheels would need to be extra strong to take the bashing necissary, id say especially strong with a prototype, and maybe even a bit wider too for manouvre and grip. Just something to take into account with technical plans maybe ikki-san?
