    The nerf modding community has been dealing with similar problems for YEARS, I'm sure there's already a solution to get those balls launching harder, Concave wheels are just ONE, also using softer balls would probably help too, but you might have to consider having 2 stages of flywheels, the first stages gets the ball going, then the second stage really kicks the speed up a notch.

    • @Discitus
      @Discitus 3 роки тому +11

      I used to make modded and DIY nerf blasters years ago for fun. Without using less safe, denser, custom darts, it's difficult to get more speed and range. I'd hit a wall where darts just got shredded leaving the muzzle, or were too slow that wind blew them way off course.

    I’ve actually built something like this in the past. One of the rotating wheels has to be sprung loaded agains the ball - so the passage of the ball pushes past the rollers. The spinning of the wheels is enough to feed the ball through. I hope that makes sense? I actually used gravity acting on a swing arm that held the motor and the wheel but a spring could be used instead.

    I'd love to see you revisit this and get the ball to 140, maybe some type of sabot. That might solve the irregular shape and surface deformation problem. You'd need some type of system to stop the sabot flying down range.

    @aurigo_tech 3 роки тому

    Very cool! So many things one could try out to improve the design. I think the slipping is caused by the ball dropping too slowly onto the wheels and then the fast spinning wheels only have a millisecond or so to accelerate the ball. So you could try out to have the balls drop faster onto the wheels already (airpressure?) or increase the time it takes to accelerate the ball. So perhaps 3 sets of wheels each with increasing speed would accelerate the ball more gently and also be able to put more energy in it.

    I may be a bit late, however, there is a wheel in competitive robotics called a compliant wheel, which is a wheel that can comply to the shape of the object it is rolling on. Using a medium to lower durometer compliant wheel would help with the traction problem you are having without the need to rebuild the entire setup.

    for indexing the balls out of the hopper one at a time you could probably make a simpler setup that uses the same mechanism as pinball machines - Wintergatan did a video not too long ago on his newer marble feed gates that used the same design. They look like super-wide-mouthed pacmans.
    Also you might have less of an issue with the balls getting shredded if you gradually accelerated them. A baseball normally gets accelerated from zero to a hundred over the whole arc of a thrower's arm motion - you might want to maybe have several wheel sizes, geared together so they spin at the same rotational speed but increasing surface travel speeds. One set would pitch to the next set basically. If you can get ~70mph increase per set of wheels without it stripping the covers off, that's only 3 sets of wheels to get over 200mph.
