AI6YR BenHmm, this looks like an E-Ticket ride. #inventions
Ash-Miw-Re@ai6yr i think it's a swan-boat. Those football shaped things could be rollers that would function as wheels, but they don't seem like very good paddles, considering it's meant to be an amphibious vehicle. But having all those pipes on the outside seems like it would be very distracting.
@ai6yr 0277667.pdf https://share.google/xhhwydhaQijrVYvxR here's the whole thing. I am particularly amused by the inventor's suggestions to use it for wartime reconnaissance (SO unobtrusive, who would suspect a thing! 🤣), and to add a barbwire cage to facilitate operating in alligator infested swamps.

T. J. Bombadil@ai6yr Proof that you can patent any idea, regardless of how well it wouldn’t work.

Emily Velasco@ai6yr You should do this with your project e-bike
@ai6yr Imagine riding it to get your groceries!
@MLE_online Someone around here is selling this thing and I am tempted to build something crazy. But I have to learn welding first. Very tempted. Would need a frame and a controller though.
@ai6yr I feel like you come across 5-20 frames every week. The controllers are like $25 on aliexpress
KnowAttitude@MLE_online @ai6yr
I met someone at a local maker meetup a few weeks ago, who rode in on a cargo e-bike, made from two cut-up bikes elongated in the middle by welded top and bottom tubes. And batteries/controllers from the online portals. It was something to see..

@knowattitude @ai6yr I have been intending to do something like that for the last year, but I already have too many bicycles

Who needs functional brakes when you can just glide to a stop with your boot heels? 😂

@teledyn @mythlfrythtyg Ha! They used that patent, it looks like!
tchaddad@ai6yr bit of a tangent, but reminds me of this contraption: https://youtu.be/_7z1sjBY7Z4?si=Nke07uVEuOPGxUQm
