routb3d Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 (edited) https://www.yankodesign.com/2020/05/19/this-inclusively-designed-electric-mobility-vehicle-is-tony-starks-hoverboard/ Apparently the designer of this concept device is a dude by the name of Neutron Her. < great name! I agree that a drive system for a spherical self balancing wheel is a possibility, and probably an inevitable evolution of the EUC at some point, but it seems evident by the artfully captured pictures of the designer sketches that the whole skin locomotion drive system indicated by the MÜV has not actually been solved.. Cool concept though! Edited May 19, 2020 by routb3d 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meepmeepmayer Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 (edited) I want an explanation how to add to 2 degrees of freedom (lean left/right, lean forward/backwards) in order to produce 3 degrees of control (go forwards/backwards, strafe left/right, turn left/right). For now, these things don't turn, just strafe (just like the similar Honda thing). As long as that is unsolved with an intuitive control method, these are going nowhere.

Justin Boivin Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Neat concept! I don't think it would provide the same feeling of being on an EUC, but I'm always excited for there to be more small electric vehicles out there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
