      You can't really do it by just matching the framerate with the rotation of the wheel, because the blur would give it away. It wouldn't look like the car was going down the road with stationary wheels, it'd look like you matched the framerate. You would also need to have a high shutter speed/low exposure to reduce the blur, then bump up the levels in post processing to bring the image back up to normal brightness.

    • @trashtrash2169
      @trashtrash2169 Рік тому +3

      Do note that it'd look weird in a new way as you would also have removed motion blur from everything, and added noise to the picture depending on your camera quality. With more editing you could probably convincingly smooth out the noise and add the motion blur back in. At that point it would've been easier to just film a car and replace just the wheels in post.

Should be possible without re-winding each motor. I barely get 15mph on my hoverboard eboard running on 12S with 4 hoverboards running on VESCs.

      Some parking lots actually use this. Mainly to get vehicles out of the premises that have overstayed their welcome. They do cost a fair amount though, as they need to be engineered to handle the weight of most vehicles, which can be well above 2 tons.

I can pull a car with my own electric skateboard so it would probably work really well and you'd also have a much higher top speed/range.

    Only a minute and a half in, but I think hoverboard motors are a couple hundred watts each usually, one horsepower is 750 watts (ignoring losses) so to even get 5 horsepower equivalent with hoverboard motors you'd be looking at 12 or so hoverboard motors. According to google the currently available car with the least horsepower is the Mitsbishi i and it still has 66hp or ~165 hoverboard motors...

    Everything bad with this project is because you didn't use enough hoverboards. What you need is more hoverboards. Keep making trips to the dump. Well also, umm, if your hoverboards fail you can't stop, the wheels already aren't moving. So, I think it needs probably a boat anchor that works on asphalt or something. But the design is solid.

    This was pretty cool but, kinda backwards I think; wouldn't it make more sense to use the hoverboard wheels to spin the car wheels, kinda like a pair of gears? There'd be no real weight on them, and it wouldn't have problems turning (assuming you're doing it on the back wheels only)
    Maybe a long 2x4 running parallel to the car's axle, strapped to the frame. On each side at the car's wheels, slap on a door hinge attached to a pipe attached to a hoverboard. Tie a strap to the hoverboard, hand it to the driver through an open window, and have them pull harder or softer as a sort of clutch, to keep it from dying on takeoff and to avoid problems from the moving suspension. Seems like the right level of hilarious jankiness, and might even work
    As a bonus, it would probably be (a little more) street legal, legitimately driveable and kinda fail-safe, because the worst that could happen is the hoverboards burn out and you can't accelerate anymore (rather than grinding along the ground and messing with steering and braking). Coasting would also work nicely. If you have them pressing against the inside of the tire, they'd be kinda invisible, except for the strap running up through the window. Or the outside would work too, wouldn't be as fun if you couldn't see them

    Why not get an old steeling and put the wheels inside the barrel and use a giant bearing to allow the hub motors to spin the barrel. That way the axel isn't moveing the wheels the hub motors are spinning the barrels. The tires will mount to the barrels that way they won't take the bumps and instead will be cushioned by the tire and suspension and therefore protected from the weight

    Wonderful video!! Maybe you should change the title to something more like: " I build a working car out of hoverboards" that would have catched me more, I think. :) Its a shame that this video is not viral because it kinda has it all there.

    I mean hoverboards are good for the correct usecase, like this cool quad amputee producer I met at my go to bar who gets around on one who I can only imagine would have a much harder time without.
