If you do still wanna explore riding with a deployed solar panel you should really look into a lighter weight solution than wood. Something akin to collapsible tent rods would be ideal and with some savy crafting you could possibly just reuse the ones from the tent you're carrying with you anyway.
I think I would attach the solar panel to the backpack and let it hang behind you. Carbon fiber tent poles could also be used. What a great video. Really enjoyed watching it 😀
Thank you!
youre not getting much power if its even close to being towards the sun
Still shouting out your mom is a W
I kept rereading this hoping I was missing a "your mom" joke...
i love the fact that every time you have an idea you you manage to make it happen and never give up
Thank you! Never give up 💪
I agree with this! I've always had people tell me why I can't do things, and it's affected me to the point that I'm the one looking for reasons why I can't do the things I want to do. It's pretty inspiring to see Morley just go "hey I had this crazy idea. Let's go do it right now"
Could you make a small trailer for the one wheel that could carry everyrhing? That way you don't have the weight on your back
Haha oh man that canopy looks hilariously heavy. Get some carbon fiber rods and paracord and make some sort of tensegrity setup
Haha yeah it was quite the workout
I not only love all the 3d printing and wood working in all your videos, but I also genuinely love your personally. Keep up the good work.
Thank you so much!
I know this sounds crazy but i got the battery from the sponsor and got a portable router and went to my local forest trail and watched this video on my computer in the woods! True story!
Wait, is this the guy who ate an entire population of frogs? Who am I thinking of..
[Update]: This guy 25:22
I wonder if that chuckle was him recalling how quiet that last night was.
Yes
I think for a prototype your rig looks fine. I think also a big umbrella could work. And would be much lighter
A solar sombrero 😊
I love your attitude so much, dude. I've watched several of your videos and I really love your problem->idea->failure->solution->compromise->breakthrough->reflection format. I think it's so great how you show your failures in not only how something technically went wrong, but possibly how you may have had an inaccurate mental model of the thing you're trying to do. I think it's all so important and it's truly inspiring to see. Keep doing your thing, Morley. You're great. Just great man. Thanks for letting us all get to know you, and good luck in the future videos.
That’s honestly so amazing to hear. Thank you for watching!
Onewheel terrifies me so much. I already have balance problems when walking, I'd probably end myself with a Onewheel. Other than that, awesomely ridiculous project. Also, here in Slovenia, we have freeze-dried meals in military ration packs. Not by these companies, but they are darn good.
Its makes so much sense to have a backpack style case for the batteries and solar panels installed DJI should look into this.
Well done. I have few ideas just in case if there is some enthusiasm to continue the project is left even after the dji sponsorship has ended -
1) Building the 3D object 2% larger would have allowed you to fit it over the carbon fibre fender. No need to remove it, plus double strength. Just get longer screws to fith them both together. EDIT- after watching till the end, I saw it break. So I would suggest you to really keep the original fender, build a fender on top of it using a large pvc water pipe. Shape it using heat g*π. Create cradle for dji unit with similar technique. Or just make slits on it to just run the strap through it and the dji pack is fixed.
2) Must add 2nd 100watt pannel, stick it side by side on the same wooden structure, letting it stand out more on both sides. Whether you use the overhead bracket or not, two pannels hanging on your backpack will always come useful. And presumably you do not need a backpack anymore after building the pvc pipe fender. You can just strap two pannels together with shoulder straps to carry them on the back.
Great stuff, as always. I think, with the battery pack in your bag, you might be better off having the solar panels across your shoulders / back as they're curved so they'll still see a lot of sun if they kind of wrapped around your bag ... and you'd be able to get rid a lot of that extra weight from the wooden frame.
Dude, at this point, solely because of you, One Wheel is going to make a suped-up version of the One Wheel, that can handle extreme conditions and then some, and you're going to have a BLAST on it. (Probably in more ways than one.)
Maybe it'll even sail across water .... You're going to have loads of fun.
This was so entertaining but also inspiring! The creativity and optimism is so palpable. Great video!
Thank you so much!
0:48 that was a smooth dismount
10 takes gives you a lot of practice 😅
Beef Stroganoff is my pick, for sure. A faithful friend on many backcountry backpacking days (hats off to Wyoming's Wind River range) and even a few RV life nights. Cheers!
Fun video Morley! Onewheel + Van life is the ultimate hack!
Yes! Thanks for making an awesome product 😁
You need to sell batteries and allow us to change them ourselves.
Not selling consumables makes your product automatically terrible
You are always the best! Maybe if you lay down the panels from your head to the bottom of the backpack you could save the weight of the structure. But with a probably worse exposure.
I'm here for these adventures. Living vicariously. I love your wild ideas and how you push the limits, make mistakes and still manage to have a good time and a good attitude.
On a side note. I was in Massachusetts last weekend and while at a restaurant there was a woman at a table near us that looked like a long haired twin of Eden's. So now she knows she has a doppelgänger.
Omg this was totally unhinged. Loving it 💯
Love just having the idea and committing to it! Fun video as usual. Definitely potential to create the ultimate infinite range vehicle.
This is amazing! I love these kind of videoes and especially your 3d printing ones!
Thank you!
Love your videos! You feel positive even when obstacles are thrown at you and I feel that's the way and basically the same as me. Keeping a good vibe even though sometimes it's hard because there's so much around us that we can be grateful for and that's what we should be focusing on.
💯❤️
I've been thinking about buying a OneWheel, might pull the trigger and get the Pint X while it's on sale right now.
Do it! The GT is awesome, but I definitely see the appeal of having something lighter/more portable, especially if you're using it in a city and want to carry it on public transit, into stores, etc.
I feel like using an actual umbrella with solar panels wouldve worked better
Hey Morley - Here is an idea. Instead of the top heavy canopy approach, get a inflatable bag and shape the solar around the inflatable bag. That way the centre(center) of gravity will be a bit lower and also the extra weight of the wood canopy is reduced aiding in balance.
That's a cool idea!
I wondered if inflatable would work too!
I'm a simple man. I see a Morley Kert video, I watch and Like.
This one was an absolute BANGER bro.
A few thoughts:
1. It seems like the onewheel could use more air in the tire, no?
2. It's worth picking up a cheap welder for like $79 and learning to use it... Good to have on the van, and you could've welded the frame out of aluminum, saving a ton of weight and gaining strength. Though, you might need a proper MIG welder for aluminum, I'm not sure you can stick weld it, haven't tried yet.
Keep up these projects man, I love them.
Those freeze dried meals taste amazing while camping. But… everything tastes better when you’re camping
Hunger is the best sauce
Just got my X1 Carbon. Your printer test video while driving, really convinced me to get one and I love it ❤
That’s awesome!
Always enjoy your content but I'm not going to lie. We need more Eden!
Haha I agree!
Like if you are alive👍🏻
If you can hack the one wheel software like on m365 and ninebot scooters, you can bypass charging mode restrictions. Then you can plug in the charger to the battery bank... And solar to the bank replenishing it (even at a slower rate). Battery bank dies sooner but your range would be significantly increased and when you stop you can charge the bank. Have my scooter set up to either accept a booster pack for an added 12v and about 6-10mph OR a parallel battery pack of the same voltage to increase torque and range. Almost certain you can add a parallel pack to the one wheel for more range and then save the battery bank for emergencies 👍
I only watched 13 minutes of this video and I can guess that at most you will generate about 30W of power with this thing. The folding panels are not very efficient. you would be better off with a 100W flexible panel from Renogy or SunPower and with that based on the angles you may only get 60W max. The panels need to face the sun completely to be producing rated power.
Why wood ? 😭😭😭😭😭 Use PVC tubes instead !! 😭😭
or carbon pvc
Resistance... friction... just bring a lightweight steam generator and a tin woodstove... get the firewood from campsite... dead dry wood everywhere... charge up when you sleep...
Love the one wheel, great video
Suggestions for anyone attempting to reproduce this: A substantially lighter solar charging setup, a more deliberately ergonomically designed battery carriage solution, a second wheel that can be charged while riding the first, and realistic expectations on day mileage
You should just make a solar suit, you’d be a walking outlet! Solar jacket that plugs into solar pants
I would've thought you would come up with a much better solution like adding a removable, rechargeable batter pack..
Really cool Project!!
I am a product designer and I love your projects and watching you progress and get better with every project!
If you want to do a part two, Wren from Corridor did a video on this and was able to get his One wheel to charge while riding.
That's the video: "Wren's DIY One Wheel Mod Let's you Charge while you Ride!"
Maybe even a Collab??
hey bud....i got an idea for u........i want u to build the most silent lighter possible using the slide switch of a light switch where one just strokes a finger or a thumb upwards to ignite....or even the example of a touch screen phone where one slides up to unlock......but it must have the feature of usb charging....or gas refill..whichever is possible......so basic design must fit in hand...slide up to ignite (with a safety lock) and 0-12hz sound (if possible)
Love the craziness of this adventure! But I'm surprised why you chose wood to make a canopy frame, it's adding so much unnecessary weight. Maybe it's just the only thing you had, but I feel like sticks would be much lighter, or 3D printed rods...
Doesn't all that weight and bulk disrupt the whole flow of the Onewheel? I love ripping on my Onewheel but this just looks cumbersome. Cool experiment, but not a solution to a Onewheel trip IMO. Love your videos :)
You're a creative Fun Genius
You only have to get any invention correct once. Anticipating any road blocks then applying creative options.
A motto I use is Adapt Improvise and Overcome.
I heard it's a Marine Seal team motto.
Keep dreaming....
you could totally make that solar panel mount less bulky by using like aluminum pipe and the using tension rods to give it the arc (like a tent). Would be much lighter then the wood. Also if you actually wanna charge it while riding theres a few "open source" style one wheel alternatives that would require the stringent rules that one wheel inflicts on its products. (You cant even replace the battery or they will brick themselves). Look up float wheel or superflux.
Ummm I'm an electrical engineer and your power consumption is going far outweigh any solar power u will get. U are better off pulling the battery connector inside the onewheel so that u can plug in external batteries. Have a larger external battery in your backpack and u should be able to get much greater range (and ride time).
Fibreglass rods would be best for those solar panels. Light, flexible, cheap, and readily available at most hobby stores or specialty kite stores. You could do carbon fibre rods, but the cost does make them problematic.
I feel a small application of simple math would have given you your answer based on the solar panels avg charge rates per hour.
Also you failed to min max this build by charging with a few solar panels during the day and riding at night with nvg's.
Use a cigs solar panel...but the folding panels will do...
Why we need a molded battery around the fender!!! I would have used tent poles and cordage to make frame...
Need a lightweight trailer that connects to your waist maybe? Or maybe a lightweight wheelbarrow type thing. Either one could work to carry your stuff and solar panels
There would be way more optimal ways to do this. a single flexible solar panel on some carbon fiber rods would be way lighter and a DC to DC charging solution without a built in inverter would be a lot lighter too.
Your videos are fun and sooo frustrating to watch! Terrible design thinking, but I enjoy your enthusiasm and adventure!
You should add reinforcements because since the 3d printing material is very weak ass you can see it will snap
I feel that DJI would be a very capable company to release a 3D scanner based on their industry leading optics combined with their aerial mapping and stitching cleanup tech.
Make sense! It’s interesting how broad the world of cameras/optics is… there’s also the world of surveying instruments/matterport scanners which seem to be entirely different companies from traditional cameras and drone.
3:42 Focusing on the important things I see
Of course
I think if you collaborated with Wren from Corridor, yall would create some amazing 1-wheel projects.
I would love to!! Wren is a big inspiration. Used to watch him all them time when I was a teenager.
Bro woke up and choose to take over youtube with his videos
I hope so! 🙏
I love the channel so glad I discovered it
Thanks for watching!
This is awesome
I think it's time for an EUC like a Veteran Patton or something like that🫣😄
yeah!
Kinda surprised the words "3D printer" didn't get mentioned until around 4.5 minutes in... 😂
Man I love the ambition of this whole thing. You could probably accomplish a lot by spending some effort to make the whole thing lighter - using aluminum poles for the frame or something.
I would love to be the person that's on a bike-packing trip or something, 10km's outside of civilization and then just see this dude come along with a one-wheel and a solar panel roof strapped to his pack 😆
Also if you're ranking freeze-dried meals, you gotta dry Backpackers Pantry or Happy Yak. Pad Thai is always my favourite. Keep it up!
Thanks Mike! Yeah wood was definitely not the best solution 😂
I passed a few dirt bikers during the adventure, definitely gave them some stories to tell
dude i love this! ingenuity at it's finest, well done dude
Thank you!
I would grab a long charger and good power bank in my pocket
Hey Morley
I think this is a really cool idea! And there is actually quite an easy way to modify the charger, in order to be able to charge while riding. "The corridor crew" has a video explaining this mod.
PS: Is there any particular reason why you didn't base your 3d model off of someone else's model from printables?
Oh cool! Honestly didn’t even think to check printables.
Dude, you should get yourself an EUC! Way more power than onewheels...
With that solar panel frame, wouldn't it be cool if you could print Carbon Fiber
I have an older OneWheel+ with a battery mod. I just did my longest ride of 20 miles. Man it's seriously a workout. Though have to admit. Your skill far exceeds mine on a OneWheel. You're video had me laughing so hard.
Thanks for watching!
nice - now put this contraption on a bike which would make 100 times more sense ;)
Those meals that self heat are awesome, meatballs and pasta mmmm. You can add extra water to the pad after cooking too
they're called MREs or " Meal Ready to Eat " . military use them normally
solar clothing just makes sense - but , maybe what you really need is capacitor knowledge before lugging such a big battery bank around . thanks for posting , though .
you know how they make those aluminum frames for van builders to reduce weight instead of wood ? i wonder if you could 3D print it for even less weight than aluminum would be . it'd be cool to see you test that theory out . of course , it wouldn't be as durable as aluminum - but , definitely more useful if things don't move much bc the plastic will surely bend like the aluminum does . then , again , so does wood . food for thought .
Could you not make a small Trailer to latch on to the One Wheel that could hold goods & Solar Panel? I think it would take the strain off the motor as not directly on top of the wheel? (Envious guy from Bonnie Scotland)
Yeah that’s a cool idea! Might throw off your balance while riding, though.
With the weight of the panels on your back, I think the battery is best carried in front of your chest like a baby carrier. Hopefully the two weights would offset each other and give you a better balance? Maybe?
Interesting idea!
You can make some homemade freeze dried meals that are just as good or better than the store bought ones, and they are significantly cheaper to do. You can incorporate the meats when you're making them for the cheapest option, or buy the prepackaged tuna packets for an easier option that costs a little more. It's still cheaper than the store bought options.
actual freeze drying machines are still pretty expensive, but you can use a regular cheap dehydrator easily. they have a shorter overall shelf life, but you can put them in the freezer to extent that shelf life almost indefinitely then pull them out as needed.
Morley I really like where you’re going. I also want you to collaborate with Ebikeschool so bad. I feel like you both have really awesome goals that would benefit the world even though you are a bit far from each other!
I’ll check out the channel!
Wren from Corridor Crew made a video where he modified his Onewheel to charge while riding it! It involved some electronics, and I believe it voided the warranty, but he was able to do it with a custom built battery!
That’s sick!!
26:47 if you can pronounce the ingredients, you know that’s some good food
I wonder if mounting it vertically along your back would be better. It may get less sun, but it would need less wood if any at all. Less weight is definitely the winner here
Yeah that’s a good idea
If you use a lighter frame, I don't think it will burden you.
Cool thing about this guy is that if it were me, I'd have done the math first, decided it wouldn't work, and then not had a fun video.
😁❤️
Glad I skipped to end to see you went a whopping 7 miles 🤦
Yo love your stuff keep going, would love to see more prints in other citys if anything try and make art from scratch with your printer.
Why didn't you use heavy metal as a frame so high above your head?
Video title should be "Turning myself into an electric vehicle" or "Turning myself into a Tesla"
Let's try it out 🤷♂️
Can you do a video of your designing process from scratch and how you split models? Thanks!
sketchup , move , ctrl ?
I realize you need the sponsor angle, but wouldn't it work just as well not carrying around a big extra battery and just charging the smaller internal battery directly? If it's one of those that won't let you operate it while charging, you can fix that by bypassing the charging port input and hooking up directly to the BMS (may also require changing out the BMS but a suitable one can be had for about $20-30).
?
What would you be using to charge the Onewheel if not a battery?
@@MorleyKert Direct output of the solar panels.
@@daliasprints9798 ahhh I see, yeah that would be cool if you could hack it!
This is sick! Can I ask - how do you split your files to be printed in multiple parts with those pegs?
Thank you! I just use the “split” tool along construction planes in fusion 369
You could have just printed a tower to screw next to the original fender, wouldn't that have been easier?
Hindsight is 20/20
Could you have modified an umbrella instead of using the wood frame?
Not sure it would be strong enough, but there are definitely ways to build it lighter 😅
Bro I just want to say keep up the good work your videos are awesome!🎉
Thank you!
Liked, shared and commented 🍻🗽🤴🏻 33:04
Balsa wood would have been optimal For the next prototype
Maybe if the frame for everything were attached to the mode of locomotion, so you don't have to carry it on your back, and then maybe another wheel for stability, and then you could make some way to add in your own energy to help it out for those steep hills. Might as well have some kind of gearing system to change impedence between your output and the kind of terrain. Might even be able to mount the whole thing to the back of the van.
Morley if you're itching to get back to San Francisco, you should exhibit this at opensauce at the cow palace in june. Its a massive convention for science/tech/makers and youtubers!
I THOUGHT THAT NOISE WAS A TRUCK OR CAR HORN 11:05
Time to create the "Open Wheel", by replacing the firmware that prevents you from riding while charging, replace the batteries, and use a lighter solar panel rig. ;) all open source, of course. :D
What if you did this with an electric bike
