    I'm not interested in drawing this up, but I welcome someone else to: You want more ground clearance to avoid bottoming out. You need fins for traction without being so deep they creating a rotary shovel. Finally, you want to spread the surface area of the wheel across the largest possible ground surface to prevent the wheels from sinking or digging into lose sand, similar to a snow shoe. Create wheels with 3 spokes, each ending in a kind of curved snowshoe (like you had a full wheel but cut away everything except a few ovals of tread). Use the largest gaps between the snow shoe hatches that can still can compact loose sand without letting a lot through. Elongate a few of the hatches on the snow shoes just enough to dig into sand, but no more.
    Think about which diagonals to use for the traction fins. I'd lean toward using the same angle on the two diagonals, but reversing it for the adjacent wheels. Other options include having the left match and the right match, and they can either create an arrow, pressing sand in, or a V pressing sand out. The last option is matching the two front, and matching the two back, but I fear that would create a tenancy to pull the front and back in different directions and encourage spinning in place in certain situations.
    Likewise, think about the contact pattern as the wheels rotate, so that you always have 2 snow shoes down, and curve the leading and trailing edges of the snow shoes so they contact smoothly and not on edge, particularly when starting from a stop.

      - Larger diameter to get more ground clearance.
      - Bigger width to span more sand
      - Mesh surface to still have similar surface area despite larger diamwter and width.
      - Some regular "blades" that can shoot sand backwards.

  • @5thdimensionzstudios525
    @5thdimensionzstudios525 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    in sand and while climbing, what you need is a licked differential
    usually used in the rear, it makes it that the wheels on both sides are only able to turn at the same speed.
    this would eliminate most of the burying problems with the wheels because it could use all the wheels to get out of a hole instead of just the one that got stuck :/

    This is marvellous work! Congratulations! I would love to see how they compare when they are combined to a thorus. According to the last part of the video, the common wheels are combined with these patterns so they get more traction. Maybe when these patterns are around a thorus (or common wheel), they don't end up digging in the sand, but the pattern is still exploited to go forward.

      Also controller seems to be unfair on wheel torque. In 13:28 You can clearly see that on left side there is not uniform control of motors. Rear one which has traction spins, but front one which is in the air doesn't. As a system without traction or torque control, both wheel should spin with front one being faster. For me it looks like there is not enough power in battery to provide uniform power delivery to all motors, or the controller is doing bad job.

    6:04 the fact that it's always pulling to the right might be due to the direction (nap) of the woven carpet. Because of the way carpet is produced sometimes force the "hairs" of the carpet in one direction. Stroking the carpet from different angles you might be able to spot a different resistance.

    Thanks for posting this MM. Love the Oloid and the Wobbler, such smooth movers.
    On my drive to work I go past a garden full of different metal wind turning illusions which all look great when they move in unison.
    Seeing the Wobbler I'd have thought that vibration would be quite bad at high speed but I think the 5 spoke is a good wheel. Also surprising
    was how well the 4 different wheels worked together.
    I mix plasters and mortars and want an optimum paddle mixer end that mixes the material by pulling it up from the bottom of the bucket to the top and wondered if you could come up with something. If it works well then we should go 50/50 on any profits made from it's online global sales :)
    Earlier this year I bought a fancy revolutionary new whisk made from a polyurethane resin that looked like 2 elongated O's on a stick which turned out to be rubbish at mixing mortar but may be revolutionary with gypsum plaster because it has finer granules, I don't know and didn't bother finding out because it was shite at the work I needed it to do and went back to my original circular whisk and got my money back.
    Otherwise how about a film on different wind turners please.

    You could try to extend the spoked paddle concept wheels, and make them entirely paddle from the hub on out, like a propeller,but with flat square blades parallel to the axel axis. Then give those paddles an alternating 25-30 degree angle. That would be very detrimental to a propeller or a water wheel, but it may be favorable for a wheel's traction on a very soft surface, like sand or powdery snow.

    To get more accurate tests probably do different tests on different surfaces other than just sand, like dirt (maybe mud), gravel, paved roads, etc. And, you should also mess around with different sizes, and/or changing the cut on the nightshade wheels to be thinner (closer to regular wheels) or wider, and possibly some other things to see which seem to work better. Also to fix friction problems, maybe adding something to the edge might increase friction, for example maybe putting certain types of tapes on the edges. Honestly there's a lot of different tests you can run with this to try and figure out what is the best and what might make one better than another. Could be awesome if you got in contact with possibly some other people interested in engineering or science stuff that might be able to help with research and analyzing.

      Yes, and far too much torque being applied through the wheels causing it to dig down very quickly rather than griping. The operator should go gentler on the throttle, and not slam it on full when it starts to get stuck, which seems to be most people's impulse and which makes it even harder to get out. Sand is one of the easiest materials to get stuck in if you gun it.

    Very impressive. You do know of course that if you replaced the wheels with tank treads, it would get more traction and more surface area contact with the sand. I wanted to make such a vehicle with tank treads that actually wrapped around the entire vehicle, so that the full surface of the vehicle was in contact with the sand.
    I think that would be the best way possible to keep a vehicle from getting trapped in the sand.
