I have a wheel here that's meant for e-scooters, it's just the front wheel so there's no motor, the size is almost perfect for the build. It's 1" wide and 4" in diameter, we could stand to go up to 5" no problem, but for something that big, if we wanted the same curve(sorry i'm not sure on the english for courbe, it be parabola or something like that) on the tip of the wheel, the thickness of the wheel would probably be between 1,25"-1,5".

These ideas are actually pretty good. And spirotiger has a good point, but remember I just need the size, type, and if you could make it somewhat easier for us, at least a link or pic of the equipment to move us along in this project. Other than that, I like the ideas.

that's the thing, we don't have the motor yet, so for now all we can give you is a description. As for power supply, we have three options. First we have laptop battery type deal where they would be vertically strapped to the leg of the rollerblade. Second we have power drill batteries, which would require the one inch thick compartment that i mentioned. Also the back pack option.

what about dc motors? not sure if it strong enough but there is small one

Hey guys and girls if ur out there heard that u where tring to make air treks can I help.I locked at a video on youtube and noticed that sky king is on to some thing if we could find a way to channel tha electric current in to micro turn coils than we could pump it to the engines but the only problem is how do we keep it where our movement doesnt effect it if we throw our foot forward while the dc motor is spinning we will get times where our feet come out from under us and if we throw our foot back it could shut down we need to find a way to get a rotation with out it effecting the current got any ideas.

And if we do that we might a well where thesehttp://www.tricrides.com/motosks_main.htm
It totally stupid to where a screw driver battery on ur shoes also backpack is kind of over doing it a little what r u going to stick a motorcycle battery in it then we would need a bigger engine then I dont see the point and why a laptop battery we cant recharge unless we have the laptop then whats the point in wielding it there is none so u might as well carry around the lap top when it run out of juice unpack it an take the air treks apart and recharge it would take to long by that time we would have already made our own that runs off of renewable energy. So whats the point in it.

unfortunately the reason they don't use this kind of thing in commercial vehicles is the same reason why we cant use them, the reason being that there is no speed control, the motor just keeps accelerating. This would make it very difficult to stop because the wheels would not stop with us, and also the magnet would go just above the wheel so there would be no room for us to put a brake pad to counter the acceleration problem. With an electric motor you have options like throttle control, built in braking systems, max speed etc. For this reason i believe we should stay on the path of electric motors.

But eletric motors 'would run out of energy to fast so we would need to charge continuosly I dont see the point also we could use a brake pad on DC motors to have a way where the magnet and motor could separate.like slide piece of metal think like a crane with a piece of metal attached when we want move press ur foot down and it willlift the metal lift ur foot up and it will drop it to stop the eletrical current.

actually with the batteries we have today i believe we could get three to four hours out of it before it dies. Really who is gonna spend that much time a day skating, i mean we have jobs to do, school to go to and family to be with. Also where are you gonna find a magnet strong enough and small enough to put in the small space between the wheel and the shoe and also have room for your slide idea? I'm not saying this cause i want to be mean i just don't think it would work out the way you want it to.

What have you all come up with so far?

I've been doing some research, and engeneering of my own. Yet I am still in the brainstorm stage as well. I also have access to a robotics lab. yea, that might help.

so tell me what this whole forum has come up with in a whole.

http://www.kjmagnetics.com/proddetail.asp?prod=DE4 This magnet is called a Neodymium disc magnet it the strongest magnet in the world and they are a big as a penny also have different sizes this will get u enough speed to make u get board of skating so much it renewable energy so u dont have to charge ur battery ang if I found out how to make air treks id wear them all day it would be awesome. I been writing up some schimatics if ur in for this I will send them to u onyxomega. If u have the parts.

send them through.

as for everyone else, you are greatly overthinking this. you have to walk before you fly.

First step should be to make skates without motors or batties so you can get a feel for the design. then you add in everything else. yup.

this company may too wheel rollerblades we could take that and stik a motor in it
maybe im new to posting but not to this topic

😃 😕

if we wanted make our own gear we could usse this

this show the speed better

I finishing up the finishing touches i will send them in a day or two

don't be arrogant, you think you can join the forum and after one day tell everyone they wasted there time? Every one here has already "walked" by which i mean went rollerblading, if not i highly suggest you take some time to start ASAP. We aren't over thinking things, we are just coming up with later improvements, so don't go around saying things that may piss ppl off. Since everybody will have to do this themselves at home, i don't give a fuck what you use as a motor. I've said this before, if u wanna attach a motor cycle engine to your fucking foot GO AHEAD. Now if you wanna use magnets fine but i have a suggestion for you, instead of using regular magnets, use electro-magnets, it won't take much to power them and it gives you the option of a cut off switch and /or speed control. If the problem is your too damn cheap to buy batteries, then get a fucking clue. The wheel for your idea requires more modifications than a fucking in-wheel motor (exaggerating a bit but not much that's the funny part). Your gonna have to learn how to make your own wheels so you can embed a metallic carbide or copper ring or something to actually be affected by a magnet. So u see the problem isn't we are over thinking things, it's that your under thinking, and that my friend cause deaths in the engineering world.
Oh and btw if you take the time to read past posts, you'll see we have ikki-san working on schematics for a two wheel rollerblade that will fit power supply wires and etc. See what happens when your arrogant? You end up being the person who doesn't know what the fuck they are talking about.

i never even thought to use elctromagnets (srry cant spell) anyway thank to you a little for research i think i can make the wheel THANK YOU 😃
