The original plan was to build an electric snowboard using a brushless motor and common electronics. How did we end up with the world's first tracked onewheel? It's built with a gearbox and a chain drive going to 3D printed gears to turn tracks that substantially increase the surface area and allows you to drive on snow, sand and grass!

You def need it to be self balancing(needs to control its own torque). If you go deeper with this concept, you could look into vesc one wheels. The controller could pretty much just drop straight into your frame.

Like on your electric snow racer it needs suspension to maintain ground contact or like with the other iteration with the big wheel it requires some added weight for traction. Probably didn’t need me to tell you that sorry if you see this as an attack on your intelligence, just suggestions. Also keep up the good work and thank you for the videos, and the one track is pretty cool maybe a programmable esc might help with the acceleration of the motor and maybe an alteration to the design of the tracks where they are wider and thicker to deal with weight dispersal.

That was my thought to, even before he tested it. When he stod on it the whole drivetrain flexed upwards and didnt get any weight down on the ground.

Yeah... added traction also means added traction on slide surface. Issue was lack of suspension and track was too high comparing the snow surface. After adding suspension of push the track on the snow, next issue would become how much the printed everything can take. From the possible ideas the board made more sense. The one wheel i would just put to replace bicycle rear tire and put ski on front. Even then it would only work in shallow snow, while powder really needs rubber track of a snowmobile to have any decent action in actual snow. Hell even snowmobiles struggle on some kinds of snow, i have gotten stuck plenty of times even though its long track model with plenty of power and only me as cargo. Also thing to consider is to have some kind of shield since if the track snaps, what are the directions for it to fly towards?

I think the biggest issue with the tracked "onewheel" is the high center of gravity. I think if you could lower your gearing so you get smoother lower rpm torque and add an IMU for basic balance control it could work better.

Interesting concept- I would look more into the other powered snowboards that people have built over the last decade or so, see the issues they had and determine the steps needed to make this more viable. Trying to ram the large flat board through the snow just doesn't work, you need a different approach, and you need a different style of tread for harder surfaces like grass or road compared to snow or sand.

For the snowboard, place the motor behind the tracks, to distribute the weight. Put it on the end of a beam, so you can adjust the height, and add a cantilever load (weight.)

@deucedeuce1572 2 ай бұрын

For the snow, I think the blades just aren't positioned right. They're almost level with the board and it just pushes the top layer straight back. Snowmobiles really dig into the snow and the ENTIRE bottom of the snowmobile is treads, so the entire weight of the snowmobile on on those treads, which allows it to really dig in. Also, having a longer length of treads gives an area where it can push snow/sand backwards and that snow/sand can not just be flung back, like when a tire tried to spin in snow and sand. It also had a LOT of flat surface against the ground and that could be limiting also. Having a more parabolic/curved surface might limit contact and friction. I really think the original design could work if tweaked/adjusted a little better.

@DMonZ1988 2 ай бұрын

hey man good effort. both projects had potential. remember, the onewheel has integrated hoverboard style balancing electronics in it to help it stay stable. that would obviously make it alot easier to ride. on the other hand, the track has a flat contact patch that should be a statically stable balanced state and a very dramatically variable torque if it tips away from the whole surface contacting the ground, so i'm not sure how well the dynamic balancing electronics would work without completely different tuning. it wouldn't just be fighting against keeping your platform from tipping forwards and backwards but also the huge variations in applied torque if the track goes from its massive contact patch to tipping back and only riding on 1 or 2 links around the rear 'wheel'. wheelieing on the rear 'wheel' would be comparable but then theres no real point to it being a track over a wheel with grippy tread. it can still be salvaged though, maybe into a seated snowmobile or or something. anyway, nice to see you, keep it up!

FOR STRONGEST 3D PRINTS - print max number of walls(perimeters)... infill is not important... If you calibrate flow correctly you can put 100 walls so your whole model is only walls, no infill. Also, print at pretty much max temp of your filament (around 220°C for PLA). Model orientation matters a lot - usually it can withstand 2x stronger forces in horizontal than vertical direction. For stronger layer adhesion print slower, smaller layer height and 0% fan (except where you have bridging). This is all backed up experimentally in many videos of CNC Kitchen guy.
