World's First SCREW-BIKE
Ad: Thanks to Odoo for sponsoring this video, try Odoo for free now www.odoo.com/r/JtZ
Do you remember when I made a bicycle with an omni-wheel on the front? A while later I moved on and tried to make a bike with two omni-wheels.
As soon as I’d assembled that version I realised it would have been better to have made Mecanum wheels, which have the little wheels slanted all around them. These are typically used on the four corners of a robot so it can move in any direction, but I want to put them all in a line, so the bike still balances sideways, but can screw itself along.

Colin Furze Helped me test my TANK

AD: Go to: pvcase.com/JamesBruton try PVcase for free! Do you remember when Colin Furze built the Rhino tank and then got stuck in a ditch and had to pull it out with a JCB? The concept was pioneered by Elie Aghnides on the 1950s. The idea being that due to the domed-shaped wheels, the more your sink into mud, the more grip it has. Colin Furze converted a dumper truck to build his version of th...

    Far be it for a normie like me to suggest any "improvements", but some type of shock absorbers on the struts that connect the wheels to the chassis would make it alot more street viable if you actually wanted to take this out.

    @Buck1954 Před dnem

    This is a good start, but... it needs to maneuver like a bike to some extent, with the obvious attractions of subtle sideways movements. It won't ever be able to handle like a bike, unless you put the turn mechanism by rotating the handlebars. A motorcycle counter steers. How would it brake?
