I know how to attach the wires from the power source to the motor
with out winding up the wire while its spinning!!!!!!!! 🤣

Allright so this message is three fold.
First:
@tokuin: Thanks a lot. it was kinda dumn luck i found those. 😀
Let me know when you hear from them. for those that are too lazy my link to the motor is on page 39.

Second: just to let people know i'm still monitoring the thread and haven't givin up yet. 😀

and third and most importantly:
i know enough about physics and have enough common sence to see the problem with the motors but i only got one way to fix it that isn't maybe the best way. so if anyone can explain how they intend to solve it, that'd be great.
best i can come up with is putting a baring around the casing and having the wheel spin on this and attaching to the axil on one side and to the air trek on the other. essentialy making it 2 axils per wheel, which isn't exactly ideal. but thats the best i've come up with. short of a gyro contact setup on the edge of the motor just outside the wheel. presuming the wheel is narrower than the motor. however both may have rather quick wearout times at the extreme rpm's these wheels are doing.
Anyway. some clarification on these methods people have spoken of please.

And thanks to everyone for this thread, i was almost ready to give up on this idea when i found this thread. 😀

Well after i'v seen Air gear, i'v wanted to make AT's, to. but since i saw this thread, i'v decided if i can join.
since im not that much of a engineer, im good with computers, and i can get the required parts. donations etc.
but at the end, i just want to ride at's. =3
so i was wondering if i can join this project? even though it seems your almost done.
Just a theory but,
i was wondering if we still can use a go kart engine or somewhat, and use a bookbag to keep the motor in it, and use wires acsending down to the rollar blades ?
like you guys said before, " no need for it to be exactly like air treks from the manga " so either way, its just a theory,
and i was wondering if you guys already made like a team?
team of like engineer's or blueprint designers? because if so, i'd like to help make this into a huge team. =O if you guys like. if i can be of any use. >.>, i'll go on the forums everday if needed.

well you dont have to ask our permission, this is an open thread, just throw your ideas around and you'll get feedback. Unfortunately there is no build team yet. As for a motor in a backpack, i don't think that's possible, you need some kinda of gear, band or chain to drive the wheel, not to mention the motor would burn your back and possibly light the backpack on fire. The reason why we want to use an in-wheel motor is because it wouldn't get in the way, it wouldn't create too much heat because it is electric and the power supply would be able to fit in a backpack. If you meant use a go-kart battery and lead wires from that, that is possible. Electric go-karts use batteries similar to car batteries so it would be a good choice for the testing stage of the prototype, but later on when we want to actually ride the AT's around town and we know the specific amps and volts needed, a more conservative Li-ion battery would be more appropriate.

hey im just wondering but has anyone checked out the parts war site fang king made i was on it before and its really awesome you guys should check it out

I made this google document summarizing some of my thoughts and ideas around the project, there's some links of news articles that might be interesting reading. In case someone felt interested.

If you would like to, it would be possible to set up an open google document that several people can edit, for easier collaboration.

hey fang king i was reading some of the earlier posts and was wondering how the prototype is going. its ok if it aint done or if u havent started but i was just wondering what was happening with it.

We're all talking about motors the whole time but what if we just build the motor around it? Isn't there a possibility to make this magnet-powered? I thought there is a way like with the transrapid to use magnets and semi-magnetic wheels so the motor is actually the wheel itself. Like in the german transrapid, it's just powered by a magnorail which changes polarity very very quickly so the speed is variable. This way we don't have any gears and wear is much lower.

it is a better idea ut the problem is...
no one here had enough knowlege on building this motors!!!
if you know how to make it, then make it
that would be very very great help!!!!

Is this magnet rail motor built with electro-magnets? if so, you might need to install a chip that would control when the polarity changes, and for it to change at high enough speeds, it would need a fairly capable processor, which wouldn't really be much more efficient than an electric motor. How big was the German motor? Do you have a link?

@tokuin: I don't currently have a link to this but I think it would be possible to do this. Seriously, I think it should be not that much of a problem. I'm asking the father of my friend, he's engineer and inventor of some things found in cars so he may be able to help us.

@McBlaise: I don't think it takes that much knowledge. Theoretically you just need the electro-magnets, a unit which controls the speed by body position and a unit which shifts the polarity of the magnets by the values given by the speed control unit. I think this is possible to do with just resistors and some switches. I'm not a physician but that's the way I thought it would be possible.

im going to look into the magnet rail motor and see what level of engineering skill might be needed. will post link on what i find!

ok two things i have found.
the only magnet rail motor i found is not what i expected, all i found was a few articles about useing this tech for trains!

and on a better not, if anyone wants info on the le wheelmotor, like how to build/how it works i suggest you check this out! [url]http://www.etotheipiplusone.net/?cat=28&paged=3[/url]

i think we could build on this and realy make this work its not as had as i thought the wheel motor was gunna be...

the le wheelmotor doesnt have the power or the speed necessary for this project, why go through building our own and spend money we dont have on trials when we can just buy the finished product. The silencer series of motors that deathsabre brought up is perfect so there is no need to build our own electric motor, the only reason im even interested in the electro magnet motor is because it has a higher potential. If u think of a bullet train, it's roughly the same thing. But the problem with it is that the timing for a motor taht small for the polarity rotation would have to be accurate to 1/1000th of a second if not better otherwise the rotation won't be able to reach high speeds because the magnets would cause a resistance against themselves. Thats why i said it would need a fairly capable processor. If i made any mistakes in my spelling or an entire sentence just seems weird, sorry i havent slept in two days lol 😛 🤣

gawd this has got to be the coolest thing ever! i was so addicted to this thread that i started to cry reading all the post i want in on this mofo right here! you guyz made me join just for the realization of this project!

oh yea and if you need to know my talents:
-im a dj
-photoshop professional
-good with tech i guess
-pretty darn rich just don't have a credit card
-3.6 GPA
-ive already started to look through the whole manga to see the scmatics and how it works and through photoshop ive kinda decoded everything (cool right 😲 )

so yea if u guyz need help ima try to do my best after all im just a 16 year old soo...

count me in were goin straight to the top with this 😀
