      I just see him as an easter egg character... probably an NPC that either gives you a unique item with insane stats (probably every now and then, or after a quest or two, who knows) or a merchant who sells cool weapons.
      And of course, he has to have the dialogue to match
      "Let me show you it's features" and/or "Let me show you what i came up with".
      And a "Thanks! And bye bye" when you leave dialogue.

    An amazing piece of engineering. I understand full well your attitude concerning patent and priority. I made a software package with practical applications and donated it as “shareware” to the public domain. When asked by my employer’s legal team and my management why I would spend many thousands of hours writing computer code only “give it away” I said truthfully, because my reward is what I am able to learn. They were baffled, had I tried to market it clearly they might have attempted to stop me, but unlike high level scientists in their employment they had not bothered to compel people at my level to sign an agreement that if we dream anything on our free time related to their commercial interests in the remotest way, then they own it. After me, “all employees” had to sign an agreement because “to dream and to learn” might have commercial value. What they did was formulate an in-house team of scientists and engineers and begin to develop their own computer simulation tools, excluding me of course. They did a small fraction of what I had accomplished before losing interest, but banned my “shareware” from company use and made it plain, they were not happy with me. Unhappy even as they patented some of my future ideas. Ironically, that too came from what I had learned doing shareware. Good luck with your projects!

      Maybe something like the double-pistol grip on the Mossberg M-1100 P? Obviously it would still need a stock for aiming stability, but you'd get increased grip from having a decent sized handle that can be dragged back, snagging the string on both sides (say a double-hook setup). Maybe even internalize it, have it run on rails. Of course you'll need a snap-in mechanism when it's in the full-forward position to "lock" it in place and provide stability. Maybe released by a smaller trigger on the forward grip?
      Yes, I love weapons. The current build is extremely impressive, and these are just the requested hypotheses on improving an already great design.

      Or he just needs more teeth on the wheel. If one impact from the ratchet is able to get past one tooth, then it wouldn't spin back.

    • @IndieMarkus
      @IndieMarkus 7 років тому +2

      Hmm, that's not really a suitable solution, since it would put too much stress on the teeth. High impact on smaller (and therefore thinner and less sturdy) teeth would wear them out too much in the long run. Using impulsive forces is not suitable for other reasons as well, since it would probably be unpleasant if the crossbow was rattling or vibrating instead of smoothly winding up.
      Another advantage of a pulley mechanism is that smaller, less powerful electrical motors could be used, since they would not have to be as strong as the ratchet.

    Hallo Joerg ich habe einen Vorschlag für eine Full Auto Version. Ersetze einfach die Schnur und das Gummiband durch 2 Fahrradkette mit kleinen L Winkeln an einem Kettenglied befestigt ,beidseitig gleich . Motor betrieben am besten ein Akkuschrauber . Beide Ketten laufen dauerhaft nach hinten und die L Winkel spannen die Sehne solange die Batterie Saft hat . Wandert der L-Winkel über das hintere Zahnrad auf die Unterseite der Kette geht der Schuss automatisch Los und der Winkel wandert auf der Unterseite wieder nach vorne wo der Zyklus von neuem beginnt.
    Wird der Akkuschrauber mit einem Winkel Getriebe kombiniert kann der "Pistolengriff " des Akkuschraubers 1zu1 in das Design integriert werden. M.f.G.Niko

  • @fredbear205

    Is this the future crossbow? If you take the inside of a battery operated drill apart you could most likely get it integrated into the stock, also only have it hold 3 bolts, and integrate the rope on the outside into the stock forearm, make the crank silent, skeletonize the stock, make it out of aluminium, and make the whole thing around 6.5 pounds. You've been challenged. Love your videos!! Oh maybe trick the whole thing out with realtree camo. You should team up with Excalibur crossbows and make in a micro version that shoots 350 fps.

    So you made that? I like it. It looks elegant even though it looks robust and heavy, the way it works is smooth and the cocking system is brilliant and easy. And you provide the option of tools to make it easy, the ratchet so one doesn't have to spin it in circles, but if one uses a simple wrench it can be done quietly and without the need for electricity or solar panels to charge or run the electric tools.

    Joerg, this is I genius, one thing I'd like to see more about is being able to reload 6 crossbows quickly and efficiently, preferably more than one at a time, would be better if you could somehow connect bolts so you can put in bundles of 6 at a time!
    Also, I'm guessing with a larger turning point, the crossbow would winch a lot faster, so this can be improved upon even more!

    • @evannibbe9375
