I've always wanted to make a mini crossbow using rotating cams. In this model, I used 2 springs as a drive.

Wicked little setup! I love watching all of the processes also! Thanks for taking the time to show the whole process.

Awesome project. Something to think about regarding the physics of your crossbow: The energy stored in the springs doesn't just accelerate the arrow... But also the metal wheel rotation. If you make the wheels as light as possible, more energy will be used to accelerate the arrow and you'll get more velocity and range.

You said compound and cam. Beautiful work but I see simple pulleys without making the word compound applicable. Now you're able to build the next step which could if a truly compound may also require a leverage assist incorporated to set. Let the engineer in your heart see what anchored cords in variable radius cam pulleys might drive for wilderness survival. Something for a balanced diet. Also consider a compact tool set system of making projectiles from wilderness available materials as well as a service plan that doesn't likely require ordering more parts from distant sources. You're an inspiration. Clean simple work sets a precedent to carry the task further. Thanks for interacting. There's promise in the wind. Relax and enjoy.

Nicely made, but you have "wheels" not "cams". The whole point of the cams on a compound is that they interact with the linearly increasing tension in the springs such that the draw weight is more constant, possibly dropping off at the hold point (which doesn't matter for a cross bow).

Nice idea, but you ought to increase the efficiency and the speed by running the string the other way. Giving it a longer "stroke" should almost double the power.

@SethKotta 4 жыл бұрын

The bolt is leading with its center of mass, for one. Also, fletching is used to increase distance and precision, not prevent tumbling. Had there been feathers added, the bolts would have struck the target closer together.

A couple of magnets could hold the bolt in place.

@offwhitemke 4 жыл бұрын

Leagle Eagle How does it add turbulence? I’m thinking the magnets would be embedded in the wood along the groove and the bolt would be mettle which would magnetize. Once it is released the magnets would not affect flight.

@offwhitemke 4 жыл бұрын

Leagle Eagle and magnets could be toward the back of the channel so that once the trigger releases by the time the bolt is leaving the channel it will be out of range of the magnets. I do wonder how those bolts stay steady. They’s have to be very well balanced.

@etherealicer 4 жыл бұрын

It is a fairly simple principle... but first off, what you see in the video is NOT a compound crossbow. The whole point of the compound system is, that the rotating disk is not round but increases in diameter. Larger diameter == longer lever == less force required.

@@etherealicer Oh, I see, the principle is simple indeed, but people just don't take their time to explain it better, or perhaps I'm a bit more dumb than I thought

@etherealicer 4 жыл бұрын

@@shaska762 The principle is really quite simple (the execution and the precise calculation to get a good power profile is of course a lot harder). It pretty much boils down to what I said, due to a non-round "wheel", you change the length of your lever.
