I graduated with a degree in Aerospace engineering and was sidetracked by the endless possibilities of 3D printing.

Tom Stanton Would you believe a PLA 3D print could lift 22,000 times its own weight? I just uploaded a video on my second channel where I break down how I designed the strongest 3D printed hook to win a competition against other engineers. Also, go subscribe to my second channel if you haven't already 😉 (4 months ago)
 
 
Tom Stanton Fancy watching a homemade hydrofoil glued to a dinghy? Well I’ve been witness to my friend Sam working on this project for the past few weeks. It's definitely worth a watch and subscribe as I've heard lots about future projects! (4 years ago)
 
 
Tom Stanton The work involved in developing this 3D printed rotary engine is excellently documented and I highly recommend giving it a watch! (4 years ago)
 
 
Tom Stanton Where have I been? I've been working with James from ProjectAIR on a new project that'll be uploaded next Friday!! Here is a 'Part 1' video James has put together with some teasers about the project! (6 years ago)

Oh, Boy! A homemade, high-speed flywheel rotating just beneath my groin!

The sound coming from these gears made me appreciate how well made bicycles are

Get the flywheel up to high speed when going down hill, then use that energy to assist when climbing the next hill.

Amazing, I love a bike build/project and this was spot on

Lube. Lube those gears. You’re losing a tremendous amount of energy in friction on those chunky cogs.

The problem of every "saving the energy from braking" project on bicycles is.. there is very little energy to scavenge. And the extra weight just isn't worth it.

Hey, that sounds like an amazing Sack Shredder

"from breaking loose at high rpm" - he means: "from slicing me in half"
why_i_game (3 years ago)
Going down a hill you could get the RPMs up really high, then use it to help with going up the hill on the other side.

"However, you can't charge and discharge this batterys not nearly as fast as this flywheel..." Sounds like a new Super Capacitor Project :-)

0.086mm error when drilling holes, 2cm error when hanging pictures on the wall ;-) priorities!

There's a HUGE problem with flywheels, as a large mass rotating at high speed introduces unpredictable changes in behavior of the entire system, when turning left or right.

That first test sounds like s PTC coaster train going up a lift hill

UK Guy: I found people selling steel discs on eBay.

That’s great. Now I know why bikes never use flywheels.
