    Hi all
    soory for my bad english, I'm french

    I think it can be interesting to use Endless screw with electric motors

    [​IMG]

    if the cockpit is fixed to a part of a toothed wheel and if an electric motor is moving that all, we can have a really heavy power because if Endless screw stop, it's not the motor that taking the weight of stoping rotation but it's the chassis where the Endless screw take place
    in more, the power given by the system is good, such as precision
    do you see what I mean?

    How will you get small enough movements to reproduce road texture and small bumps yet enough speed and ability to handle this type of mass without spending a fortune?

    That would be expensive like hell (mostly the big wheel), for this kind of setup its beter to use normal gears. Then you can cut relativle cheap by laser or water jet.

    My suggestion of the big wheel vas not ment to be taken too seriously, just tought it was fun to turn tings upside down. No intention to make it an endless discussion. I have tought a little about the posibility to make a balansed wheel for the roll axis, but I guess the joyrider setup is the best way to use Wipermotors.

    lol!!

    I have an other idea
    for brakes and accelerate I want to use a chain on the two side of the cockpit, this chain on the toothed wheel that the ENDLESS SCREW make rotate
    for right and left this solution on top is good lol
