I used to be able to do the tops for my CJ7 in a few minutes. Place two sawhorses at a height just below the body, remove the bolts and screws to the windshield and then get under the top and lift with my back while balancing with my hands and walk it back. Dont think I could do that these days though. Have seen others use rope and a chain hoist on a tree limb or garage. No fuss no muss. Round headlights.

Most of the things on here are really old technology with a pretty coat of paint and a new name. Only thing I hadn't seen at least 20 years ago was the wireless car charger. And that doesn't interest me much.
I'd love to have a personal shopping cart, but not at that price. And now that I won't be doing much Instacart anymore, I really don't need it. Just put some cheap laundry baskets in your car and leave the heavy frame and wheels at the store. Makes carrying groceries into the house very easy.
If a foreign object falls on the plate charging stops, that does however charging has started so then the falling object detected by the plate underneath will have had to pass through the car itself dramatically reducing the need to charge an insurance write off. The hard top lift looked unstable with the weight toward the front, is that why they don't really show it being moved about? Hitchlift is an accident waiting to happen. What's wrong with just using a wipe on a trolley handle the way most have been doing since covid went global? Much cheaper and they can be carried in a pocket.
The slide in the truck bed is such a novel idea at $750 (sarcastic). I've been using a pallet ($0) for about 15 years. Fits all truck beds, easily replaceable, lots of hand-hold locations, almost unlimited weight capacity, never have to wash it, never worry about messing it up, and if I don't want it in the truck for some reason, I just throw it on the driveway or lawn.
the bad thing about wireless charging is it uses far more energy so yes electricity wasted isn't good for society as a whole so yes just plug up your electric vehicle to charge don't be lazy that's crazy
Well, you are right. However, if I heard the narrator correctly, a 15% loss over a period of 3.5 hours for a full charge. Doesn’t seem exorbitant. It may behoove the owner to; perhaps, invest in solar panels and a battery bank, go “off-grid”. Charge your car for free. Well, not free, the initial outlay… blah, blah, blah… tax breaks… Yada, yada… Essentially, you pay for your power consumption, but… the convenience of not ever to wait in line for decent gas prices again? Well worth it.
@@cthawk6770 85% efficiency for wireless is ok if you put it in the road and you will be able to use that power when driving, 15% loss just to not waste few seconds on the plug for your car is pure energy waste and nothing to brag about.
There is only one use: taxis stands, where the drivers just park and wait for the next customer. But even in this case the ground palte should align itself, not the car. Or it is a solution as shown for people to lazy to plug in a plug (which needs 6 seconds). BMW knows their customers, they are to stupid or to lazy to activate the indicator, why should they be useful enough to plug in the chargingcale...
Humans recycle tires all the time.... and the way tires get into the ocean is normal wear of the tires on the roads and rain runoff takes it to the ocean.

HVAC units are fairly light. The crane is limited to 310lb, which is fine for a average HVAC split condenser unit. I wouldn't want to lift a couple of people with it, but for its intended purpose it beats most of the other options available.

A 79 lb wheel is _pretty damn heavy_ and will make the suspension much more clunky, also requiring completely redesigned springs and shock absorbers. Roadholding will never be as good as a the same vehicle with light wheels because it simply takes longer for a larger mass to bounce in and out of dips in the road, so the wheel is going to be out of contact with the ground a lot more. Also changing the wheel is going to be out of the question for the majority of drivers. Roof load "managment system"? _Patented?_ 🧐 It's a modified wheelchair lift. They've been around for decades. But a wheelchair lift goes all the way to the ground and stops there, avoiding contact with the side of the vehicle. In this video, despite several views of many examples on various different vehicles they carefully don't once let us see what happens when the thing gets to the bottom of its travel. Looks to me like one inadvertent bump is going to drive the lift into a body panel or window. No thanks. The "car tyre microdust" thing doesn't make any sense. Where does the microplastic dust come from - the road, or when recycling the tyre? The footage accompanying the blah blah blah doesn't offer any illumination, so this segment just confuses more than it informs. At this point I've lost interest, the inventions I;ve see so far are "meh" at best and definitely nowhere near "incredible". Nice try but Buh-byeee.
What if the charging plate is dirty? Will it affect the charging rate? What is the efficiency rate of wireless charging like this? Whatever it is, KUDOS for trying to tackle the charging issues!
Honestly there's no charging issue being tackled, they are trying to make it more 'convenient' that's all and that's questionable. It's basically the same tech that wirelessly charges your phone. Folks have been talking about, working on, a car version for ages, although getting better, it's not nearly as efficient as just plugging your car in. If the alignment over the plate isn't right - charing time is degraded. More the distance between the two plates - charging time is degraded. Notice in the video the car is being guided in to the right spot, because it has to be 'just right' to get max efficiency. If there's something in your way, like a bike, or trash cans, or shovel/rake... and you can't line up the plates perfectly - charging time is degraded. Today's method, drive your car into the garage/driveway any way you want/can, plug it in (and automatically get the fastest charging possible no matter how well you parked), walk away - no fuss. Unless there are pads everywhere it's pointless, as present and future public charging stations are plug-in, so your car is still going to need an outlet. It's hard to see public charging stations switching to this as it's slower, and at a public charger you want people (vehicles) in/out as quickly as possible.
Or just build more tram lines, which get their power directly from overhead lines, so they don't even need batteries and also reduce the pollution caused by tire wear. That would also result in a reduced demand for car parks, which would mean they could be turned into actual parks.
If this shoping cart would cost around 130€, I would consider buying it, there is enough space in my eNV200. But on the other hand, wiping the cart with desinfectant and use the Euronorm-Boxes (60cm x40 cm, 22cm or 40cm in Heigh, all are stackable) is a much better space usage in my Opinion. But there will be use cases though!
You can keep your EV's. I don't hear anyone taking about costs. Battery replacement costs. The frequency of which I'm sure will greatly be dependent on the number of charging cycles. Hence, the more you drive the more frequent battery replacement will be required. Upkeep costs, electric cost. You can can keep the EV's.
Yes, if we are going to all be driving EVs, why do we want to throw away all that extra power for a little convenience? I have been driving a Nissan Leaf since 2018 and it is not hard to plug in.
The channel "Brain Time" has none of what you mention in their videos but it's still entertaining nonetheless, it's mostly just a bunch of those "unbelievable moments caught on camera" type stuff like epic fails and wins etc... nothing educational about their videos at all but again, still entertaining and funny to watch
@1:37 id just attach the ladder to the inner celling of the van with a few simple brackets, slide out slide in job done and works every time. will even work in multi-storey car parks with low ceilings which would otherwise get in the way of a device like the one in the video
This could work in these tall vans, but as someone who drove a work van for many years I have to admit that many people could not have ladders or other equipment taking up space in their cargo area. I did keep small step ladders in the cargo area, but larger ladders had to go on the roof as I need the space and the headroom inside.
3:20 that is a joke by BMW, the plate should position itself and not the car, i can't believe someone actually came up with such a stupid solution as letting the driver to precisely park over the plate.....those ppl are not serious 9:54 forgot to include a seat for kids, put bigger wheels on and make usable as a stroller....jesus, did ppl forget how to invent thing or what?
"the slide tray" my father invented this back in the 70's he thought man maybe I should patent it, then in the early 80's a guy down the street had one commercially available on the market. I used to have a old picture of him with it and all his tools pulled out on it when he was maybe 30 years old , he had an old ford van back then , he never got one cent .
I think smart breaks that auto-activate on high speed and autopull on any obstruction in front at around 3 to 4 feet based on dual sensors (so that secondary sensor performs break function on failure of primary sensor and also alerts about failure of primary sensor) is a must and auto parking and unparking feature is also handy feature but would require ability for computer to drive and use of AIs and cams
O M G @ 10:00 that shopping cart is the most brilliant idea!! The store is always out of carts because the homless run off with them. Loading and unloading and bagging and unbagging is all gone. I WANT ONE! BTW normal shopping carts are $150 to $250
Normal ones are $200 or so because they're mass produced and its a single design type. Go to all the supermarkets in the area and the shopping carts look the same.
I realized he said the max weight was 44 lbs. That is NOT a lot of weight. While on average you would not likely go over that if you shop regularly if not that would be close. A gallon of milk weighs about 8 lbs, 12 pack of soda 9, a 24 pack of water 18. Throw in some meats and produce, best watch your load.
@@IIGrayfoxII I work for a supermarket chain. So I rarely shop heavy as I micro shop almost every time I get off. But I see people who claim to have come in for one or two things and they leave with an easy 50lbs or much more. Examples. 5lbs of potato, 5Lbs of Onions 4Lbs of Bananas 4Lbs of Apples. You don't need a shopping cart for that but its already 18lbs. Throw in any liquids. A gallon of almost anything will be around 8lbs - Vinegar, Juice, Gatorade. Those 3 are 24lbs + 18 you are at 42lbs. Dam I need detergent... Ok get that next trip. So if they can heft the sturdiness up to about double that would do. Again its very easy to buy more than 44lbs of groceries. BUT I get why they keep it light. You still need to break it down and slid it into the car. They probably don't want you fussing with 150 lbs and getting hurt.
16800$ for a pickup conveyor? No thanks. No company will spend that much, and no individual either. The effort of pushing it with a shovel is not that large, and much cheaper. The fact youd need install it in first place, it can break, the price, it takes extra space and weight, and for a thing like a pickup? 16800 is a big no. Thats the price of the pickup itself
Forklift speeds of lower, basically. Terrible idea for anything on the roads, but year after year people keep trying it and asking, "Why has nobody thought of my idea before????" They did. They were idiots, too.
What happens to unsprung weight with 2 of 4 in-wheel motors? In wheels motors are good for low speed projects but I expect high speed handling would suffer.
@@TheSkiddey I'm not aware of a single car with a solid axle that is a high performance car in terms of handling. I know there are high horsepower cars, but nothing that handles worth a darn has a solid axle. A solid axle is itself most of the suspension system and takes the place of most of the control arms and other linkages, so the unsprung weight penalty of a solid axle is less than the total weight of the axle, which itself is usually not the 160lb we are talking about here. Finally, much of the weight of a solid axle is in the center of the axle, not out at the corners giving it half as much impact as these motors would have for a single-wheel disturbance.
The person on a job site with a razerlift would say its a lifesaver everyone else just says he's lazy Also the rino hitch won't fix my trailer brakes when I'm hauling tractors
The Personal cart is great!, but it also needs to be foldable! I use foldable boxes for my grocery shoping and they are allways a bit smaller than the shopping carts. If I could have a personal foldable shoping cart that would be the best solution.
The in-wheel motors I find particularly interesting. I've been looking to convert a car to electric and this would mean I'd have the entire engine bay to install rest of the system and batteries.
In-wheel motors are a horrible idea. Having 3 to 4 times the amount of unsprung weight moving with the tire would drastically limit the suspension's ability to keep the wheel in consistent contact with the road. Vehicle manufacturers spend considerable effort reducing unsprung weight to improve handling as well as comfort, vibrations, and harshness. No major electric vehicle manufacturer uses wheel motors because it is a terrible idea. It isn't a new idea at all.
So that van rack is kind of cool. But anyone who has already driven a van knows that it's already top heavy. So it's bad enough putting a regular ladder rack on it. So this thing is limited to 100 lb and not only that they didn't say how much it weighs. So you've got to add that weight onto what you're putting on top of your van which is going to make it more top heavy. Plus you can carry less ladders now because you got this thing. I opt for the old fashioned way of using a ladder and having someone help you. It's cheaper and you can get all your equipment at one time. Now those in hub motors. On the other hand, those are something special.
01:15 It's all nice and good until you get to an underground parking or under a low bridge... I don't know over there, but around here all those big vans get their roofs caved in from hitting the ceilings, low bridges and garage entrances. Imagine with that thing making it even higher... 😅😁🤣
Even regular height vans don't typically fit in parking garages anyways and there are not many place in the US & Canada that have bridges to low for that van shown.
@@SillyPutty3700 Regular vans fit quite good on parking buildings. Those tall ones don't. To find a low underpass or bridge is not that uncommon, at least in my area. They don't want to sell it exclusively on Canada, I guess, so it can be a problem. Not to mention that those vans hit low branches, etc quite often, add 50 - 80 cm to that and you can have a bad day. 🤷♂️
The only advantage of induction charging is that you can have a perfectly sealed charging device that won't get water in contact with electricity. So you can charge at the bottom of a pool. But if you have any other means of avoiding that, like any kind of suitable protective gear, induction charging has nothing but disadvantages. You need to perfectly align the car with the device, which means in most places you'll have to do extra maneuvers and consume extra energy. Plugging a cable to the car only takes a couple seconds, only requires that you park within the reach of the cable, and offers 100% efficiency. Every single bit of electricity that enters one end of the cable is delivered to the other end.
For the disadvantage of aligning the car with the device: couldn't we enable some automatic system in the car to align it? i mean, Teslas already have some driver assistance thats getting closer to self driving, and we already have a way to make a car parallel park (well, that was an advertised feature, don't know how well thats doing today). So, why couldn't we press a button, and have the car detect the location of the charger and park itself on it? if we make the pad on the ground really big (within reason of course), couldn't that mean more wiggle room for drivers to be on top of it and still charge? Of course your other disadvantages i agree with, and are things we need to consider i hope future cars can have both a wired and wireless charging system, kinda like how some phones today have both systems
That slide tray has a bad flaw in that there are no drainage holes for rainwater. Also that Shoppingcart thing is hilarious because its very purpose is made irrelevant by the fact it would take up all your trunk space.

Yep
Another awesome video however most these trucks are unaffordable.
Most of the things on here are really old technology with a pretty coat of paint and a new name. Only thing I hadn't seen at least 20 years ago was the wireless car charger. And that doesn't interest me much.
I'd love to have a personal shopping cart, but not at that price.
And now that I won't be doing much Instacart anymore, I really don't need it.
Just put some cheap laundry baskets in your car and leave the heavy frame and wheels at the store.
Makes carrying groceries into the house very easy.
Some good ideas for sure but like many things, cost/vs amount of use is a deterrent.
I dunno about that crane, mate.
One long beam supporting all that weight.
Hope you don't have to deal with any wind.
Cables, too. That steel can certainly handle far more than the 310 lb rating in compressive load, and the rest is handled by the cables
We need something like the mini crane to get a person to the second floor of a house without an elevator. But it should be cheap.
Use your legs... lack of physical activity is not good for human health.

If a foreign object falls on the plate charging stops, that does however charging has started so then the falling object detected by the plate underneath will have had to pass through the car itself dramatically reducing the need to charge an insurance write off.
The hard top lift looked unstable with the weight toward the front, is that why they don't really show it being moved about?
Hitchlift is an accident waiting to happen.
What's wrong with just using a wipe on a trolley handle the way most have been doing since covid went global? Much cheaper and they can be carried in a pocket.

The slide in the truck bed is such a novel idea at $750 (sarcastic). I've been using a pallet ($0) for about 15 years. Fits all truck beds, easily replaceable, lots of hand-hold locations, almost unlimited weight capacity, never have to wash it, never worry about messing it up, and if I don't want it in the truck for some reason, I just throw it on the driveway or lawn.
9000.00 for a machine to unload a pickup? That's insane!
lol you could pay some 16 year old 9 grand a year and they would be more useful than just unload a truck
the bad thing about wireless charging is it uses far more energy so yes electricity wasted isn't good for society as a whole so yes just plug up your electric vehicle to charge don't be lazy that's crazy
Well, you are right. However, if I heard the narrator correctly, a 15% loss over a period of 3.5 hours for a full charge. Doesn’t seem exorbitant.
It may behoove the owner to; perhaps, invest in solar panels and a battery bank, go “off-grid”. Charge your car for free. Well, not free, the initial outlay… blah, blah, blah… tax breaks… Yada, yada…
Essentially, you pay for your power consumption, but… the convenience of not ever to wait in line for decent gas prices again?
Well worth it.
@@cthawk6770 85% efficiency for wireless is ok if you put it in the road and you will be able to use that power when driving, 15% loss just to not waste few seconds on the plug for your car is pure energy waste and nothing to brag about.
There is only one use: taxis stands, where the drivers just park and wait for the next customer. But even in this case the ground palte should align itself, not the car.
Or it is a solution as shown for people to lazy to plug in a plug (which needs 6 seconds). BMW knows their customers, they are to stupid or to lazy to activate the indicator, why should they be useful enough to plug in the chargingcale...
Humans really need a way of turning tyres into other products, its been far to long that we still have this issue..
Humans recycle tires all the time.... and the way tires get into the ocean is normal wear of the tires on the roads and rain runoff takes it to the ocean.
There are enormous used tires repositories now being dumped in selected areas of the Arabian desert.

Lol, probably the same person that came up with those single piston long end dump trailers that always seem to fall over!🤣🍺
HVAC units are fairly light. The crane is limited to 310lb, which is fine for a average HVAC split condenser unit. I wouldn't want to lift a couple of people with it, but for its intended purpose it beats most of the other options available.
@@brianhaygood183 Easy to use, easy to assemble and inexpensive for a commercial user. If you have a 3" receiver, then make the riser from 3" tubing and use a powered winch assembly or a hand crank.
A 79 lb wheel is _pretty damn heavy_ and will make the suspension much more clunky, also requiring completely redesigned springs and shock absorbers. Roadholding will never be as good as a the same vehicle with light wheels because it simply takes longer for a larger mass to bounce in and out of dips in the road, so the wheel is going to be out of contact with the ground a lot more. Also changing the wheel is going to be out of the question for the majority of drivers.
Roof load "managment system"? _Patented?_ 🧐 It's a modified wheelchair lift. They've been around for decades. But a wheelchair lift goes all the way to the ground and stops there, avoiding contact with the side of the vehicle. In this video, despite several views of many examples on various different vehicles they carefully don't once let us see what happens when the thing gets to the bottom of its travel. Looks to me like one inadvertent bump is going to drive the lift into a body panel or window. No thanks.
The "car tyre microdust" thing doesn't make any sense. Where does the microplastic dust come from - the road, or when recycling the tyre? The footage accompanying the blah blah blah doesn't offer any illumination, so this segment just confuses more than it informs. At this point I've lost interest, the inventions I;ve see so far are "meh" at best and definitely nowhere near "incredible". Nice try but Buh-byeee.
What if the charging plate is dirty? Will it affect the charging rate? What is the efficiency rate of wireless charging like this? Whatever it is, KUDOS for trying to tackle the charging issues!
Honestly there's no charging issue being tackled, they are trying to make it more 'convenient' that's all and that's questionable.
It's basically the same tech that wirelessly charges your phone. Folks have been talking about, working on, a car version for ages, although getting better, it's not nearly as efficient as just plugging your car in. If the alignment over the plate isn't right - charing time is degraded. More the distance between the two plates - charging time is degraded. Notice in the video the car is being guided in to the right spot, because it has to be 'just right' to get max efficiency. If there's something in your way, like a bike, or trash cans, or shovel/rake... and you can't line up the plates perfectly - charging time is degraded. Today's method, drive your car into the garage/driveway any way you want/can, plug it in (and automatically get the fastest charging possible no matter how well you parked), walk away - no fuss.
Unless there are pads everywhere it's pointless, as present and future public charging stations are plug-in, so your car is still going to need an outlet. It's hard to see public charging stations switching to this as it's slower, and at a public charger you want people (vehicles) in/out as quickly as possible.
@@TStark-vj2wo Just use a small robot arm to plug in the cable, same conviniece and way more efficient
@@jonasstahl9826 Yes! Love the idea!
Those in-wheel motors will be the norm in the future. No transmission losses, torque wherever you need it etc. Great for 4wd's.

Pretty cool but also damned expensive. But costs will drop if and when they become more common.
Great show as ALWAYS, nice to see a prospective future if we get that far.
I like the idea of wireless car charging, they could be placed in carparks and do away with cables and charging posts.
Or just build more tram lines, which get their power directly from overhead lines, so they don't even need batteries and also reduce the pollution caused by tire wear.
That would also result in a reduced demand for car parks, which would mean they could be turned into actual parks.
The ladder rack looks cool
Need an electric vehicle with a 500 mile range and a 5 minute recharge to 105%.
Till then they are useless.

If this shoping cart would cost around 130€, I would consider buying it, there is enough space in my eNV200. But on the other hand, wiping the cart with desinfectant and use the Euronorm-Boxes (60cm x40 cm, 22cm or 40cm in Heigh, all are stackable) is a much better space usage in my Opinion.
But there will be use cases though!
You can keep your EV's. I don't hear anyone taking about costs. Battery replacement costs. The frequency of which I'm sure will greatly be dependent on the number of charging cycles.
Hence, the more you drive the more frequent battery replacement will be required. Upkeep costs, electric cost. You can can keep the EV's.
They turned a car into an iWatch…..and made it insanely inefficient…..
Yes, if we are going to all be driving EVs, why do we want to throw away all that extra power for a little convenience? I have been driving a Nissan Leaf since 2018 and it is not hard to plug in.

electric motors in the wheels is not new, but cool. i like the overland train
@1:37 id just attach the ladder to the inner celling of the van with a few simple brackets, slide out slide in job done and works every time. will even work in multi-storey car parks with low ceilings which would otherwise get in the way of a device like the one in the video
This could work in these tall vans, but as someone who drove a work van for many years I have to admit that many people could not have ladders or other equipment taking up space in their cargo area. I did keep small step ladders in the cargo area, but larger ladders had to go on the roof as I need the space and the headroom inside.
works for small ladders but any decent sized ladder won't fit in 90% of vans
3:20 that is a joke by BMW, the plate should position itself and not the car, i can't believe someone actually came up with such a stupid solution as letting the driver to precisely park over the plate.....those ppl are not serious

"the slide tray" my father invented this back in the 70's he thought man maybe I should patent it, then in the early 80's a guy down the street had one commercially available on the market. I used to have a old picture of him with it and all his tools pulled out on it when he was maybe 30 years old , he had an old ford van back then , he never got one cent .
I remember what they used to call "the bed rat" back in the 90's it seemed like a pretty slick setup to me.
The personal shopping cart is a good idea I would love to have one
what if you need two carts tho...
and what if you have stuff in your trunk already?
A little red wagon would be cheaper
That car in the thumbnail is mad!
I think smart breaks that auto-activate on high speed and autopull on any obstruction in front at around 3 to 4 feet based on dual sensors (so that secondary sensor performs break function on failure of primary sensor and also alerts about failure of primary sensor) is a must and auto parking and unparking feature is also handy feature but would require ability for computer to drive and use of AIs and cams
O M G @ 10:00 that shopping cart is the most brilliant idea!! The store is always out of carts because the homless run off with them. Loading and unloading and bagging and unbagging is all gone. I WANT ONE! BTW normal shopping carts are $150 to $250
Normal ones are $200 or so because they're mass produced and its a single design type.
Go to all the supermarkets in the area and the shopping carts look the same.
I realized he said the max weight was 44 lbs. That is NOT a lot of weight. While on average you would not likely go over that if you shop regularly if not that would be close. A gallon of milk weighs about 8 lbs, 12 pack of soda 9, a 24 pack of water 18. Throw in some meats and produce, best watch your load.
@@jackcarter1365 Australians dont buy 200lbs worth of food at once.
@@jackcarter1365 I didn't realize it's only 44lbs. That's not strong enough. I fill a normal grocery cart to the brim ever other week.
@@IIGrayfoxII I work for a supermarket chain. So I rarely shop heavy as I micro shop almost every time I get off. But I see people who claim to have come in for one or two things and they leave with an easy 50lbs or much more.
Examples.
5lbs of potato,
5Lbs of Onions
4Lbs of Bananas
4Lbs of Apples.
You don't need a shopping cart for that but its already 18lbs. Throw in any liquids. A gallon of almost anything will be around 8lbs - Vinegar, Juice, Gatorade. Those 3 are 24lbs + 18 you are at 42lbs. Dam I need detergent... Ok get that next trip.
So if they can heft the sturdiness up to about double that would do. Again its very easy to buy more than 44lbs of groceries.
BUT I get why they keep it light. You still need to break it down and slid it into the car. They probably don't want you fussing with 150 lbs and getting hurt.
Jeans and a T. Can't go wrong with that.
16800$ for a pickup conveyor? No thanks. No company will spend that much, and no individual either. The effort of pushing it with a shovel is not that large, and much cheaper. The fact youd need install it in first place, it can break, the price, it takes extra space and weight, and for a thing like a pickup? 16800 is a big no. Thats the price of the pickup itself
At that price you could get a few dump trailers or a not half bad dump truck off an auction site
79lb wheels?! Neat idea, but that's a metric crap ton of unsprung weight! Yikes! Great idea for low speed applications though.
Forklift speeds of lower, basically. Terrible idea for anything on the roads, but year after year people keep trying it and asking, "Why has nobody thought of my idea before????" They did. They were idiots, too.
trailer hitches like that and better than that have been round for years and years
Ok, this personal shopping cart is a REALLY good idea. No more shopping bags? I‘d like that.
What happens to unsprung weight with 2 of 4 in-wheel motors? In wheels motors are good for low speed projects but I expect high speed handling would suffer.
Exactly. 80 lb of additional unsprung weight at each corner would turn almost any typical car into a handling nightmare.
Unsprung weight can be dealt with. Lots of high performance cars use a solid rear axle which is much heavier than that.
@@TheSkiddey I'm not aware of a single car with a solid axle that is a high performance car in terms of handling. I know there are high horsepower cars, but nothing that handles worth a darn has a solid axle. A solid axle is itself most of the suspension system and takes the place of most of the control arms and other linkages, so the unsprung weight penalty of a solid axle is less than the total weight of the axle, which itself is usually not the 160lb we are talking about here. Finally, much of the weight of a solid axle is in the center of the axle, not out at the corners giving it half as much impact as these motors would have for a single-wheel disturbance.

Why are we still talking about (encouraging) hybrid vehicles...?
So much over complexity & material waste.
The in-wheel motors I find particularly interesting. I've been looking to convert a car to electric and this would mean I'd have the entire engine bay to install rest of the system and batteries.
Convert a Volkswagen to a Voltswagen...someone did that to their VW Caddy p/u
I have a Ford Escape and eventually want to convert it, this wheel idea is a definite game changer. 👍
In-wheel motors are a horrible idea. Having 3 to 4 times the amount of unsprung weight moving with the tire would drastically limit the suspension's ability to keep the wheel in consistent contact with the road. Vehicle manufacturers spend considerable effort reducing unsprung weight to improve handling as well as comfort, vibrations, and harshness. No major electric vehicle manufacturer uses wheel motors because it is a terrible idea. It isn't a new idea at all.
@@brianhaygood183 Agree. The Idea is as old as the automobile itself, example Lohner-Porsche Electromobile from 1900.
Convert a shit load of money ,time and effort into a useless lump of light iron!
So that van rack is kind of cool. But anyone who has already driven a van knows that it's already top heavy. So it's bad enough putting a regular ladder rack on it. So this thing is limited to 100 lb and not only that they didn't say how much it weighs. So you've got to add that weight onto what you're putting on top of your van which is going to make it more top heavy. Plus you can carry less ladders now because you got this thing. I opt for the old fashioned way of using a ladder and having someone help you. It's cheaper and you can get all your equipment at one time. Now those in hub motors. On the other hand, those are something special.

Even regular height vans don't typically fit in parking garages anyways and there are not many place in the US & Canada that have bridges to low for that van shown.
@@SillyPutty3700 Regular vans fit quite good on parking buildings. Those tall ones don't.
To find a low underpass or bridge is not that uncommon, at least in my area. They don't want to sell it exclusively on Canada, I guess, so it can be a problem. Not to mention that those vans hit low branches, etc quite often, add 50 - 80 cm to that and you can have a bad day. 🤷♂️
The only advantage of induction charging is that you can have a perfectly sealed charging device that won't get water in contact with electricity. So you can charge at the bottom of a pool.
But if you have any other means of avoiding that, like any kind of suitable protective gear, induction charging has nothing but disadvantages.
You need to perfectly align the car with the device, which means in most places you'll have to do extra maneuvers and consume extra energy.
Plugging a cable to the car only takes a couple seconds, only requires that you park within the reach of the cable, and offers 100% efficiency. Every single bit of electricity that enters one end of the cable is delivered to the other end.
For the disadvantage of aligning the car with the device: couldn't we enable some automatic system in the car to align it? i mean, Teslas already have some driver assistance thats getting closer to self driving, and we already have a way to make a car parallel park (well, that was an advertised feature, don't know how well thats doing today). So, why couldn't we press a button, and have the car detect the location of the charger and park itself on it?
if we make the pad on the ground really big (within reason of course), couldn't that mean more wiggle room for drivers to be on top of it and still charge?
Of course your other disadvantages i agree with, and are things we need to consider
i hope future cars can have both a wired and wireless charging system, kinda like how some phones today have both systems
Can we just cancel Wireless Charging
