I love it! Next, you have to do a solar-powered ice maker. That's mostly because I told Solar City I was you, and ordered a bunch of panels. They'll be looking for a video around June. Thanks!
Already exists just search on yt
Tom staton: spends years and several versions to perfect an e bike
Peter: hold my circuit board

Both designs are not exactly reliable or efficient.
and with anti brake system too , tons of videos about one big piece: pully

but solar power in UK is a different thing at least back then when he complained about unpleasant weather.
@@Mike-oz4cv I agree there is no reason for him to use friction drive- but Tom Stanton actually did it right with gearing, this makes zero sense to me.
That's like comparing a Tesla Model S to Geoff.... that boxy electric car Clarkson Hammond and May made...

Imagine if that bike was converted into a tuk tuk with a trailer with the solar panels on the roof so you could actually haul light stuff like groceries
Could probably fit more solars, too, if... you needed that for some reason.
I haul my tools mostly.
Just put on a rack and use panniers, 25kg/40-80l should be plenty of space for groceries. I usually go with 2x20L on my bike.
I'd really like to see one of those panels just mounted to the back above the rear wheel, in that spot where a tray normally goes on those bikes with a thing on the back. then put on a better hub motor and see how far it can go in the sun. maybe with some thoughtful placement you could even manage to mount a 2nd panel somewhere else but I can't think of a good spot.. front of the handlebars is just way too sketchy imo. when you showed the top-down drone shot the obvious spot seemed like on your back, like with a backpack or something. would need to build some angled assembly to face it straight up not at an angle though

Well, if he is gay. He wouldn't need them anyway.
@@Tinkerbell227 he's not gay, haha, you're so homophobic
I knew he wasn't gay. It was a joke dimwit.
Yea, I am really homophobic when I am transgender and I frequent gay bars. I guess that is the new homophobics.
Idk if he meant to do this, but at 12:07 he stayed perfectly in the sun and it was satisfying
But you know what's not satisfying? Todays sponso-- wait. i mean The first panel's front left rubber spacer thing is missing for like the whole trip
He probably did, they are after all solar panels that need sun.
Yeah, it was.
I love how everything that he builds sounds like a drone or some rc car lol
Make a solar powered wagon that autonomously carries your groceries home.
You could probably optimise the way the motor drives the wheel. Also, it might be a good idea to implement regenerative braking.
Edit: I have another idea to further optimise this thing. Install a solar panel on top of the person riding the bike, so that you can generate more electricity and provide some shade to the rider. Also, getting the panels higher could get them more sunlight.
Peter: this is a pretty good e bike Tom Stanton: hold my beer
It hurt me looking at his and remembering toms
Korean Jigalo I am still waiting on the collab Between Tom and Peter
😂
Yeah they'd make a good team. Peter makes things work by shear ingenuity and Tom has that pro engineering background.
Hey Peter you won't get an accurate reading until you change out the off road tire for a street tire. The street tire will give you a smoother more flatter surface to apply the motor to thus giving the motor a smoother wider contact surface.
Rather just get a cheap hub motor. Much better efficiency and overall cleaner.
@@4nlimited3dition_4n3d Or both, of course.
@@4nlimited3dition_4n3d Hub motors are almost as pointless in comparison to this if you're going for efficiency. Mid-drive motors are what he needs to try.
@@edism Mid drives lose efficiency in the gears and chains drivetrain friction. They also lose reliability due to that.
I can't imagine how much better this would work with a road bike and motor that drives through the differential. If you've gotten on a mountain bike after having just ridden a road bike, it's like pedaling a dump truck.
Engine:makes noise
UA-cam subtitles: *music*
Smooth road tires would make it a good bit more efficient. Rolling and through better motor coupling.
There’s so many things that could make it more efficient fam
From plane man to bicycle man, that's character development
MOSHILA XD cant say you’re wrong there
Sing us a song, you're the piano man
No he went from plane to boat to bike
Considering the wright brothers, thats not development, thats regression
I call it regression
Now you have to borrow a Tesla and tow like 50 panels 😂
U mean 200 panels:P, a Tesla needs around 17-20 kilowatts to run:O

I'm curios how well that would go.

It‘s still ok tho.
@@vincentstohr2216 ofc it's ok, it's just that we wanted to see him pull a comically long snake of pannels
Wisp 999 Yeah now I understand u😂😂
Its thumbnail
A few things to make it more efficient...
Body position while riding, to catch less wind.
Shock absorbers on the panel wheels.
Use a build-in-wheel motor.
Smaller tires to have less friction.
Maybe a bit of small mirror like 45° side edges to it to reflect more sunlight when the sun dropw.
Imagine if Peter actually cared about something what he could build!
did you mean: the actual real life planes he's built himself
Like his planes maybe ?
What even are these comments? This build is awesome. He made engineering look accessible to normal people. What did you do today?
Peter loves china
This design is actually really cool. I'd love to see it made even more efficient! A hub motor would probably make a world of difference in reducing the loss of energy.
pretty dumb design, think about it pal
This is probably one of the worst design that I have ever seen.
@@dr.palsonp.h.d815 it was done like that on purpose
since the energy is made by humans that use a bycicle we ain't creating any fossil fuel energy so its clean hence no need for this
This is such a ridiculous object. Like, more ridiculous for how well it works. I love the aesthetic. Bravo.
Time to make the next tier of solar bike: Having the panels track the sun dynamically.
I've given some thought to the idea. As of now I'll have solar panels facing different ways so at least some panels get max charge during the day.
Love the concept and your tenacity. A great combination.

I was wondering if anyone had tried this yet. Thanks for saving me some work! Are they Harbor Freight panels?
Pretry cool idea, gosh I have so many solar panels and power stations too. Thanks for sharing man.

As a guy that has built several electric bikes (bicycles and motorcycles) I find that the fact that you are powering yourself with solar panels absolutely astounding!
Especially since he was in the shade 90+% of the video.
this is so awesome, i would love to see it optimized and taken on a long range test
Awesome build,but I would love to see this on the mountain bike trails and hit some sweet jumps! 😂🤣
10:15 hey! Speaking of efficiency, why don’t you use a more efficient driving system, like direct drive, instead of grinding your tires?
Also you would like to use a parallel sun panel configuration with a booster power stage, to avoid serial blockage of partial shadows of your path.
Btw I know, these needs more work an you wanted it on an instant. :)
the level of ghetto is over the top
if he just swapped the pedals he never uses for a motor bracket he'd be done
but I suppose efficiency isn't the idea
I think it has something to do with the drone motor not being able to produce enough torque. He could do reductions but this was something he could just put together in a few hours and it worked alright
Cost
@@tysenp8193 The friction drive that he used ended up being a reduction because circumference of motor can is much smaller than that of the wheel.
there are 100 volt soler panleso there are in 300 volt in all
I love this! I have been wanting to build something similar, but with supercapacitors in place of the battery.
lasersaber I know that it’s been done this way but definitely try it out yourself don’t get discouraged you could do a better job you never know so don’t give up
great and maybe more efficient! also less capacity may cause more voltage fluctuation on your esc
Good luck. ebikes use about 30-50watt hours per mile. you would need like 40lb of supercapacitors to in that range. but id love to see it done.
Supercapacitors are very good for absorbing high amounts of current demand or current inflow, however, their capacity versus their physical size has not yet reached a point where it is a good idea to completely replace your battery. I recommend adding them to your system regardless, because they do help, but keep a lithium battery on board to do the leg work.
@@David_Brinkerhoff93 Mine use around 14Wh/km in city (20Wh/mi), and around 11Wh/km (18Wh/mi) at 40km/h (25mph) on the countryside.
How fast are you going?
This was an excellent project. A little more tinkering and it would become quite useful, thanks.
Excellent Work !!
I have 750w of panels on my production adventure van. I average 350-450w generation when in direct high noon sun in the Pacific Northwest. More realistically I generate 200w ish on average during daylight. Also any amount of shade on the panels drastically reduces amount harvested just like you showed with your hand shadow. Solar is super interesting. I wish it was more efficient and affordable, thankfully it keeps improving every year
My peak generation of solar is actually in the dead of winter when they stay nice and coool. That’s the highest harvesting numbers I’ve gotten
Panels with micro inverters almost eliminates the issues with one panel pulling the entire array down due to shade. PV is only getting cheaper and more efficient, it has come a long way in the last decade, if the evolution continues we are going to see some serious s***. uplifting fact of the day; PV is now more economical than coal and many fossil fuels :)
Daniel Christiansen - I’m always surprised to see how much of an effect one cell within one panel makes, in the output of that single panel, if there is a faulty cell or its blocked from sun
Lying panels flat wastes most of their production, getting the correct permanent angles to the sun is best. Even better is tracking to maintain the ideal angles. But application and cost are always limitations.
@@Levi_Allen Many panels contain bypass diodes to allow rerouting of a section if it's impeding the rest of the string.
Peter: how does William make things
Sam: um... zip ties?
Great video.. lots of room for improvement on this project.
If u were to put the power at the crank using the chain u could use the gears on the back wheel to save battery life and go faster and u won't get any slipping of the motor on the tire .
Thanks for sharing!
My husband has been saying this kind of setup should work for years, I can't wait to show this to him!
I love how I got an ad for the swytch Bike kit.
I got an ad for solar panels, It was like a 5 minute infomercial. I let it play while reading the comments. I hope Peter makes some money off that.
Excellent job young man! Keep up the good work ;-)

Lol it was joke
I like how the solar panel is wiggling behind the bike. It is so CUTE!
Suddenly got an idea, what if you make the solar panel on top of a shade, so you enjoy the wind and none of the sun while you are charging. I mean the snake tail is cool but not that safe.
6:48 “I’m gonna grab the shaft and put a load in this thing “ lol
Nice, quick, proof of concept. There are so many ways a person could make this far, far more efficient. For some examples. Use a good quality, in wheel hub motor. Use the thin, flexible, lighter Solar panels, and connect them to one trailer made out of a composite of EPS foam, fiberglass, a thin plywood top layer (to screw into etc), and Titebond III glue, and use two bike tires with low rolling resistance.
Create a fairing for the bike itself, and/or a bubble windshield, and even better, do that on a recumbent bike that is already more aerodynamic than a regular bike. Even better still, build the bike from scratch, using a combo of bamboo+S-glass fiberglass+high PSI tensile epoxy (preferably 7k+) for the primary structure.
If you get the weight down enough, and the improve the aerodynamics, you can use a smaller battery and less Solar panels. Basically creating a bike version of the Aptera car which may be coming out in the near future.
The tail of solar panels is kind of cute 😂reminds me of ducklings, great video!
Now he should build a solar bike and have someone rides it across the US.

A bike like this would not be street legal in most states. If he made the tow 3 panels wide, I think he could get it street legal.
@@Malaphor True, I think he would be able to find some sort of route though.
@@battleboy0595 I find that three plates can be put on a vertical rack thats roughly the size of a toddler cart which should be legal

GRAB THE SHAFT AND PUT A LLOAD ON THIS THING xD @6:47
Remember when Bicycling was also considered a great exercise..
Fecking brilliant!
Haha, I’ve always wanted to make a bike with hydropnumatic suspension, like they fitted on old Citroen cars, that would be amazing
Yea I would tooo!
Love this. Simple execution and great understandable educational content. We should collab.
would love to see this!
Watching you casually tow around three solar panels gives me anxiety.
Good stuff , well made video.
Thought about doing this years ago, and also for a rail bike and catamaran. Never had the budget though. :( Glad to see someone do it.
Please put some type of remote control car suspension system on the panels.
Inflatable tires at low pressure would do the job
Blocking a cell in a shadow basically is the same as forcing the other panels through a giant LED, as far as the resistance goes
Justin Bassett-Green So, riding it under even partially shadow path makes it very inefficient. Parallel configuration with a power stage (parallel boosters) would make it more efficient.
the french mopped SOLEX was using a similar friction system with an abrasive stone roller connected to a tiny gas engine which was dropped on the front wheel by a lever and you could also use it as a regular bike
Clever.
Low budget clever.
I like the concept. A fast stacking trailor is a great idea when you need to park it. I would build one for sure if I just had a bike hub motor for simplicity..

Infinite solar powered drone, or helecopter, plane, thing. Somthing that flys.
You pick the best music to go over time laps too by the way, it's really good
second to this. build a solar powered drone & let it chase the sun. let's see if it can travel around the world in 1 day!
well, sound impossible, but sun seems didn't travel that fast.. pls give it a try!
umm yeah nasa is still working on that, for a couple decades now...
