@@christophersmith8014 in the case of compliant mechanisms, leafsprings are used most of the time. 3D printers can print leafsprings fairly well. 3D printers are arguably the best tool for making compliant mechanisms.
I was scrolling through the entire channel history trying to find the video about the mechanism that only rotates one way (after having seen the mechanism while scrolling through 507 movements), and I gave up and decided to just watch this video instead. Amazing video, and you had the link in it to exactly what I had been looking for originally!
I can definitely see that slippage as an intentional 'torque limiter'. Pending some rather precise design details, it could work great to keep other parts from breaking in the event of over-torque or another system lock-up area.
Seems like this could really shine in RC cars or boats to allow for a sprag free rolling forward and underwater props to freespin when not under drive torque. Excellent mod with the double tapered rollers - a very smart adaptation. 👍 great stuff.
Fantastic design, love it. .. yes please! Swap out parts on a bike one by one and see how many parts you can replace/improve on with 3D printed versions!
"I'm not an engineer" No, but how you took this project and applied it to a previous one with the intention of improving it most certainly is a good practice of engineering if I've ever seen one.
Even if it broke, since he isn't using a machine, but his hands. The amount of force will not lead to enough force to make it penetrate his eyelid and into his eye. Not to mention, he looked away, which reduces the risk a little. The highest risk he has, is a piece getting into his Ear hole.
DUDE! your designs are awesome! well done! your understanding of design, printing and just thinking outside of the box is awesome! keep up the great work champ!
I just purchased an ender 3 and have never done anything 3D print related. I’ve been binge watching your vids. Your a smart dude! Great videos! Very helpful. I’ve yet to print anything yet. Still learning what the heck to do. Haha
@@leilaumfleet5022 I was thinking whether it would be possible to build an automatic three speed gearbox with three of these mounted coaxially with three different radii.
Great idea. I actually left you a note on the one-way mechanism under it's video before I've seen this video. Now you found I think a better solution than the one I suggested I guess.
One-way bearings are used in the main gearbox assembly on Airbus helicopters. It is what allows the rotor and rotor shaft to freewheel when the aircraft loses engine power and has to autorotate. It also keeps the sudden stopping of the engine from damaging the main gearbox.
The shape you are referring to on the “cylinder” is called a hyperbaloid where it’s basically a cylinder that gets smaller as it reaches the middle and bigger as it goes back out.
@@emm5468 it's fine, your English is great, algebra wise, I could've made that mistake myself so it's fine. Nothing really wrong here, just correcting someone over the internet
Love the bearing mechanism. Well done 👍, I’ll download the file and print it myself. As for the T-shirt... it’s very original, I love it and will get myself one next month.
Hey Angus, really nice design and idea, there is only one thing that makes it a bit tricky. The only reason the clutch works is because the inner frame and the outer frame slide along each other when rolling in the right direction. The balls/cylinder/cones now ONLY function as a blockade when rolling the wrong way, but not as a rolling element in the right way. I think the spring exists within the original design for that reason. Your design works, but i'd like to see a version in which there are rollers functional in both directions or at least a mention and consideration. Thanks Angus for great content!
A company called Onyx actually makes sprag clutch hubs for mountain bike wheels! It's totally a worthwhile application for these mechanisms. They have the advantage of near-instantaneous engagement, and they're silent
This is very slick! I had a little flash of an idea to combine this with a thing I've been working on here and there - a sort of gatling gun style prop. Using a power drill or screwdriver to drive the whole thing, the printed barrel set kind of stops on a dime when the trigger is released, just because it doesn't weigh very much. I think using a roller clutch like this could give it some extra spindown time when the motor just stops, but still catch it firmly enough to spin up instantly when power is back on.
You said you are not an engineer but you are certainly finding solutions like a very good one. Trial and error is the mother-process of engineering (before and many times still now). :-) Congrats and stay the route!
Make it out of wood and throw it on William Osmunds wooden, lazercut bike! /s Looks awesome, I'm surprised by how well it works and seems to handle torque.
So funny.. chatgpt and I were talking about this earlier today learning the differences in these one way clutches. Maybe a little late to the party but here I am
Not really, you'd have to push faster and faster so that the acceleration imparted on the rollers are greater than their current rpm does, cause if not, it'll just "slip" because technically, the rollers are still rolling forward, only slower as you push. This will work at low speeds, but you might as well just walk and save the awkwardness
Gravity is only pulling a couple rollers into binding... that means that your device is only acting at about 15-20 % of its capacity. A good safety margin against catastrophic failure, but it also undermines just how good your design could be. Great jon
Have you tried to reverse the taper. It might improve the performance. I say something about this on one of the math channels. It has got to do with the stability of the system and the inherent instability of the shape you have used for the bearings
I'm an aircraft mechanic student, and this roller clutch design is actually commonly used in helicopters. Often referred to as a "freewheeling unit" and allows the main rotor to rotate freely if the engine RPM is lower than the RPM of the driveshaft driving the main rotor.
this is super cool, of course, if you want to make it more secure and avoid it from skipping to easily you can always add more internal arms and rollers. you've probably already thought about this but just a thing I thought id say.
The balls arent functioning as the bearing in this situation, the balls are the locking mechanism. The outer ring is only held in place with the solid inner parts which would cause friction. It would be like if you made a car where the wheels lock against the ground in reverse but raise up going forward so that the car can only slide on the undercarriage one way but not the other. Not the original function or more efficient or even very useful.
Daniel McArthur yeah, I was hoping he wasn’t going to go the whole video calling this clutch a bearing. That would have been tough to sit through lmao. At least he admitted that he’s calling it the wrong thing.
Yes do bicycle clutch. Prepare for pain if it slips.

You should look at the research around compliant mechanisms. Might be a good topic for an episode or two.

You should also make some roller skates with it - you will be able to move forward without pushing from side to side
Rae S how exactly?
By attaching 4 of them to each shoe, arranged like the wheels on roller skates.
@@mrjbexample that's an interesting idea, only issue might be the amount of force it can take before skipping.
