@Sky NinjaHave you ever ridden a bike, dude? Your pants will get dirty from the lubricated chain in the middle of the chain. Here, the middle part of the shaft is hidden inside the frame.
I've seen this idea before. Problems are 1) gear ratio, you're confined to one, 2) the actual contact point and transmission of power is confined to a single tooth at a time thereby putting extreme force onto a small point, 3) the drive shaft roller bearings are pretty small and likely to fail quickly, 4) the drive shaft is thin and subject to distortion.
Human power = .03 of one HP . Then you add your total weight what ever that would be . If that soild 3/4 inch shaft is harden steel then no problem . The bearings have no problems eather . Becuase the shaft would be vary little pressure on them . Helicopters uses the same system for the tail rotor and those shaft are of aluminum tube .
This's cool DIY video, but shaft-driven bicycles are already there for more than 100 years, since 1890. Actually, chain-driven are considered a vast improvement over shaft-driven bicycles with better performance, efficiency, and ease of maintenance.

To do this, you need to lubricate the mechanism, I had an electric saw where the same mechanism was used, I forgot to lubricate it and as a result, after a week, the links were erased.
I cant speak for bicycles but in motorcycles a new chain is more efficient than bevel gears but actually research shows that chains lose efficiency rapidly as they wear. On a bicycle I guess that's less of a consideration. That's one reason you've seen more motorcycles move toward using belts and gears in recent years, along with lower maintenance. Obviously with a bicycle gearing is a substantial consideration that favours chains. 👍
There are many more disadvantages to this. When you put a lot of force on the pedals, the smaller gear will be pushed out, away from the other gear with great force. In the way he currently welded the tube, the connecting plate will just bend open, losing any contact between the teeth. It's also much more difficult to do gear shifts, more likely to get something like a long dress or a coat being pulled into the gears, and probably a lot more.
The major issue with his sprocket build is that he was to pedal extremely fast for minimal energy transfer. In other words his system is far less effective than a traditional chain gear system
This reminds me of those ideas I had when I was a kid and how genius it was. Only to discover someone already made it years ago. This gives me same vibe.
Except these people have zero self-awareness & put an insane amount of effort into a fully scripted and edited video about it that probably took them a week or so to create... instead of taking less than 1 minute to google it first. Lmao Even had the audacity to call it a new idea & a prototype.
It is basically equal to the lowest pressure gear on any bicycle. You're gonna have to paddle a lot just to move a few feet. I'm not exactly sure if I'm gonna recommend it....
I think you need to use larger diameter gear wheels, so you can spin your legs less number of times. Try it . Great concept. You created history there.🙏🙏🙏
That's like saying I put lipstick on a pig and she's absolutely beautiful even though she's a pig she's still beautiful dude the fact of the matter is it's still a pig
Drive shaft bicycles aren't a new concept, their main drawback is that their fixed gear so you can't adjust power ratio and you can't back pedal. But props to you for building your own system 👍
@@bobmorane2082 for those who aren't used to it it can be a detriment, also breaking isn't very easy on fixed gear bikes, I'd say their for experienced riders only
Nothing like re-inventing the wheel. A pal of mine has an 1898 Belgian FN, which I've ridden. Nothing new here, but I admire your hack it and weld outlook.
Very cool. I like the thought. One difference I’d probably make is to find a larger diameter bevel gear for the pedal shaft. Seems like it requires a lot of pedal work for a little amount of output at the moment.
I have a new bicycle from 1983 that has front wheel drive with this setup and also has a cost gear where it lets it go fast down hills and not eat the gears out while peddling with chain on back, 10 speed I think. Bought it from the man who put it together in 1983 and still has tips on the tires. Bought it because it was different, No one ever ask to ride it so it just hangs around
Yes, man had a bicycle shop and in 1982 they made these and the gear would eat out going down hills, 1983 they put a inline slip to fix that, Shop owner took this one out of box and hung it up in store till I bought it 10 years ago. Has the old new tires on it, looks like any bicycle 10 20 speeds, has a cable from center pedal up along the frame to curve down to front wheel and chain drive on back, I bought it because it was different, dark green paint with plastic gear where this one is steel
You're assuming the chain is what creates the power ratio's, where it's actually the gears. You could have an equally powerful push with an appropriate sized gear. Hence why geared bikes have different sized cogs, not chains.
Chains are messy, relatively short-lived, and wallow in road grunge. Driveshafts (as motorcyclists well know) are neater and require almost no maintenance. The drawbacks of shafts for both motorbike and bike are initial cost, more weight, and less efficiency than a chain. I think the trade-off is often worth it.
@@rcnelson the friction loss must be crazy but true tbh, chain suck sometimes especially when they come off and you have to stop and put them back in, but ill keep my chains your opinion is valid though
this is actually is like truck on 1st gear. So you need to pedal more for to go faster but now you have more torque. So if he can do a double or triple gear system that is changeable it will be better than chain system I believe :D
That's why when they used to make bikes like these, back in the 1800's they quickly ditched them when derailleurs started appearing. Chain reigns supreme.
No even in cars they use shaft to maximize the power in bike they use chain becoz bike is more efficient in fule economy to reduce the cost of shaft and it is also less maintenance I know your indian science student becoz iam also indian 🤣🤣 mai ne bahut Indians ko deka he har video ke niche uska science dalte baite he 🤣
@@wicked9299 car mein shaft use hota hai because it needs more torque as it is carrying lot more weight compared to bikes. Also the inner and outer wheel needs to rotate at different speeds while turning this is difficult to achieve with chain drive.
But as same as belt drive you don't have to worry about grease or dirty oil on you're leg. Mamachari or japanese bikes has all three of them in the past don't if they still have em today
That's great but, 1) You'll have to pedal more, compared to chain cycles 2) You'll have to pedal continuously, you can't 'glide' like you do in chain cycles Apart from this, Great Idea!
i think it is possible to integrate the same mechanism present in the rear gear set into the current one if he did not do it yet, that way you can just let it glide, but true you have to pedal more than in a normal bicycle, and I would like to see if it is possible to add something transmission like to this mechanism, and I guess it is not impossible, but will definitely be time and money consuming, but I thing the end product will just be worth it
It won’t be practical at all for these reasons : constant pedaling, and you have only one gear also uphill and down hill will face a lot of challenges . Thanks for bringing the 30’s back , I love it hhhh
@@callumgill7019 this is not a bad thing to do at all , it’s thinking and planning and doing something, it’s just won’t be as good as the bikes nowadays
Just genious! Depends on the outcome is better than bikes of nowadays. For instance I have been using inner tubeless tires for over 7 years now and just had to change them now. They don’t get punctured and are just a bit less confortable in terms of absorving impact when wheels get out of the ground. Obviously competition cyclists will have a problem with it. Since my purpose is having a cheap and exercising transportation, my chinese brandless bike does the job perfectly! I get to work and return everyday about 14km daily, not much but the bike holds itself steady and robust with 1 maintenance yearly. Would also change the system for this one if it was readily available. But I wouldn’t be doing the handyman’s work because I have no talent so just pay a specialist and done!
no one is gonna mention that shaft driven bicycles are already a thing? the prevoius bikes with no inside of the weel were cool but this is just a lesser known bicycle type that is already quite easily available and used.
Very cool recreation of the original shaft driven bicycles. It's crazy to think that about 120 years ago, bicycle manufacturers successfully produced and sold bikes with these features.
Pretty cool, but I think a u joint would be better, at least for mountain biking. BMW actually made motorcycles with driveshafts instead of chains to atom mud getting in
Shaft driven bikes are immensely troublesome. Chain drives are far superior and vastly more rugged. The shaft drives are outdated and always tend to fail due to the prying nature of the gears. Even with shaft bearings they are no comparison to the chain drive
Nice job! It is a work of art. The reason they don't make bikes like this is that steel is stronger in the pulling direction that the twisting direction. The shaft will always be at least as heavy as the chain. Also bevel gears are less efficient than roller chain, and tend to slip more.
you just made that up, stop talking shit. try a more factual approach next time. for example, this can not change gears... the pedals can not freewheel... etc
@@bottomline99 Actually, bevel gears (or any gears) are less efficient because there's a change of direction - twice in this case. Any force vector reqiures energy that ultimately is not delivered to the wheel. Where that's also true of a chain, the angular deviation is minimal by comparison, and is mediated by the difference in sprocket size (proportional to the gear ratio). So "made up" or not, the assertion is correct. Also, tensile strength may be greater than yield strength, it depends on the material. However, this is unlikely to matter as the forces required to either twist or pull a 5/8" steel shaft to the point of damage are unlikely to be achieved in this application. That said, I agree that the two major omissions are disengaging the pedal (freewheeling), and providing multiple gear ratios. All-in-all, a chain drive using a modern derailleur to achieve a nearly linear transfer of force while providing a wide range of input-to-output ratios is hard to beat.
@ Patricia Lorentzen In my opinion the lower efficiency of bevel gears a simple matter of friction, which increases at 90 degrees with the inherent increased surface slipping that results (Agree with JMC on that). Respectfully disagree about the vector statement, eg a long belt drive that twists 90 degrees is virtually as efficient as if it didn’t. It was ‘The reason they don't make bikes like this is that steel is stronger in the pulling direction that the twisting direction’ that inspired my comment. That is not the reason, it urkes me when people just make shit up and preach it like fact! My thoughts and guess would be, for the same torque transmission, the chain style spreads load over a larger diameter cog and many teeth, the bevel gears are a smaller radius with only one or two teeth in contact, which undoubtedly results in much higher stresses, requiring higher quality materials, hardened surfaces, shimmed exactly to avoid wear, enclosed with oil (and seals) to achieve low friction, a variable gear ratio wheel hub drive. imagine its actually pretty good system performance wise however simply more heavier, complex, costly to make and maintain compared to the ole cheap and effective chain drive that won.
A bicycle with a drive shaft is nothing new. When my school class made a field trip to the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia in the 1960's I saw a drive shaft bicycle there. I think it was made in the late 1800's or early twentieth century.
Smart, as idea... but it has mainly two defects: - the hub of the pedals is blocked, it always turns. - only one transmission ratio is possible (and, in this case, too short). Anyway, again... nice idea, nicely performed; mostly for the cheap (using parts of old drills) and quick (entirely handmade) kind of solution.
Those are the same two issues any fixed gear bike would have and they're still hugely popular. The biggest issue here is just ease of maintenance. Too easy to switch out a chain or cog or chainring compared to this. Shaft drives have been around longer than chain drives, bmw motorcycles and some others still use them. Shafts on a bicycle are only about 75% efficient where as chains are closer to 95% which is another issue.
free lock gear already is inside the ball bearing. and reverse cycle works as stop pedal. 2 in 1. like every old school bicycles. invented millions years before Christ :)
There’s no way to change gear ratios so hills might be a challenge. Another potential problem would be contamination and grit sticking to the exposed gears, grinding away and making it harder to operate over time. You would be oiling it down every day. These are some reasons motorcycles use sealed shafts.
Actually, Pinion, Rohloff, Shimano Alfine, and Effigear are all examples of multi-speed manual gearboxes for bicycles that could support multiple speed shaft drive bikes. Combine that with hydraulic disc brakes and you basically have automotive level technology and performance for a man powered bicycle.
Так на видео показали принцып работы.Шестеренки можно подобрать в нужном соотношении.Насчет загрязненности:можно корпуса сделать чтоб все в масле было и грязь не попадала
Thats why bikes are made with chains , he did not discovered anything that wasnt discovered before, it is old building technique, not in use by any manufacturer cause of that
Not to take away from accomplishing this engineering project but I had a Sussex shaft drive bike for a few years. The chainless drive was rather more experimental than reliable. The shaft drive was mated to a Nexus 8 speed. The drive was heavy with more friction than a chain drive and the drive shaft kept snapping under load. There were lots of alignment issues. The curved bevel gears also wore out quickly. The gearbox was made from aluminum and too weak with undersized hardware. Expensive, heavy, inefficient, unreliable. Belt drive seems far superior.
Anyone with any real engineering knowledge knows that this is a quickly thrown together project which may look good but could in no way be thought of as a reliable working machine.
I'm not an engineer (flunked out), but I can see a few flaws. It needs a freewheel mechanism, the gears are unprotected from the elements, the driveshaft bearings are just tapped into the tube with nothing to keep them from getting pushed in too far, the crank gear is offset and unstable, and a kid on a Razor scooter could outrun that gear ratio. The sad thing is, this is a great concept! It just needs to be properly built. :3
Those conical gears are exposed to the elements - rain, dirt, grime, sand. They will not last long. Find a way to enclose them and you might be onto something
Fun fact! Pierce Arrow (Yes, THAT legendary early automobile maker), made chainless bicycle in the early 20th century (At least as late as the 19-teens). They were beautiful machines, with fully enclosed geartrains to keep out grit and dust. Some even had full suspension!
Looks like the gears were sliding a bit and it also looks like ur riding on a low gear setting from a regular bike. I think it would definitely break down after a few weeks to months of use
At 4:41, the rear wheel spins about one quarter rotation after the pedals have stopped moving. With the design shown, that shouldn't be possible unless the gears are slipping. Looking at it frame by frame, it actually looks like the gear on the shaft is completely stopped but the gear on the wheel is moving. Is there some mechanism to disengage the gear that was not shown, or am I missing something else?
He didn't modify the wheel hub, so I don't think it is any different from the normal bike where cruising (aka stop pedalling, wheel keep moving) is still possible?
The wheel to pedals rotation ratio seems to be different in separate scenes which should not be possible and there's not a single scene showing actual start of movement by pedaling (he clearly pushes with left leg in that one scene) so I don't think the rear cog is even attached to hub (he just drops it in place and actually attaching rear cog to hub is never shown). I think this is not a working prototype but the bike is simply pushed to movement and he is just acting to pedal it forward. The scene with turning from left to right shows the bike to be very unstable which also suggests that he is not putting force to rear wheel but free rolling while acting to pedal.
Нужно постоянно смазывать шестерни, чтобы не износились. А педали нужно крутить в 5 раз больше чтобы скорость была как с цепью. Интересная концепция, но утопичная, на мой взгляд
Back around 1899 to 1910 a luxurious expensive bicycle was made with a drive shaft that surrounded the right chain stay and had bevel gears on either end. This was an alternative to a chain.
Идея хорошая. Цепь спадает, рветься, растягивается, штанину зажевывает. Этот вал лишён таких недостатков, вот только передаточное число 1:1 никуда не годится. Нужно было сзади делать передачу не с маленькой шестерни на большую, а наоборот.
Actually, with this design, you shouldn't use ball bearings, but rather the same kind of bearings you find in automotive differentials, as they're cylindrical, rather than spherical. While they have a wider cross-section, they offer more stability to a linear rotating system.
Lovely design, and it's quite therapeutic seeing the stages of the build. It's no doubt less efficient than a chain though. I think having a one drive set up like that would suit an E bike more connected to a tidy throttle.
The gear drive is pretty cool. Your fabricating skills are awesome. But I think changing a wore out chain would be easier than changing wore out gears.
When did 'insane' become an empty RUclips title word? I've seen it a few times recently and each time it has added nothing other than to indicate the video essay is meaningless drivel. Others have commented about the idea being neither new nor affordably useful.

The gear nearest the pedal needs a guard over it to prevent things from getting between the mesh of the pedal gear and the drive gear. Dirt, debris, loose clothing and other things could get caught between the 2 damaging the gears.

Awesome! And to make it even more useful, install a 3 or 5 speed internal rear hub, then you have gearing options without derailleur gears and chain to worry about.
Insane...yes! If it were practical, it would be universal...I will take my multi speed bicycle over this single speed...never had a chain problem in my 65 years of bicycling.
Na bruh, with the small gear at the front, it will provide more than enough torque, too much cadence required. As a matter of fact, it needs a bigger driver gear if u want to use it as a normal bicycle.

Nicely done ✅ A good take on an old idea 💡 It's amazing to think they made this concept, back to 1898 with the Chainless Columbia Model 51, which was also shaft driven... I have not seen it on a bicycle before, so that was fun 👏 It would be okay around flat, Flemish countries, since there are no gears. I noticed there is no retaining part, to hold in the modified - 'cotter pin', so it's just relying on compression, but that is an easy fix. Sometimes we have to go back, to go forwards... ie. A Hybrid engine originates over 100 years ago - from a submarine and the electric car was first developed in 1890, before the combustion engine, yet its become the 'new' thing... Good video, thanks for sharing, Atb Gus 👍
Shafts suck for this application. They're acceptable for motorcycles because you can build an engine that can provide enough power to make up for it, but they just suck. If you're concerned with maintenance the best compromise would be a modern belt driven bike. They're slightly less efficient than a standard chain bike, but they're much lower in maintenance. But, really, chain maintenance isn't that big of a deal.
Once he hits something really hard (or a deep pothole), those gears will probably decouple. Also, no adjustable ratios makes this only suitable for relatively flat cities.
Hear me out it might look like "omg he is devolving" but when i was riding my bicycle the chain broke and the cycle didnt just fall and hit a car it broke my jwels this is what i need
That would be tough in a bicycle form factor. Motorcycles have a fairly wide transmission that wouldn't easily fit into a bicycle. You could probably do something along the lines of a continuously variable transmission though as that doesn't require much space to work with.
@@platinum6978 the rear hub was a standard single speed with coaster break. Still works as before but no chain. You can stop pedaling at will and coast or pedal back a bit to break.
It's a cool design no doubt, but it seems to me that design might wear out faster than the traditional chain, and might be harder to replace parts for your average consumer.

The sleek look is definitely top notch. The major disadvantage is friction loss which will be much higher than a conventional chain.
To do this, you need to lubricate the mechanism, I had an electric saw where the same mechanism was used, I forgot to lubricate it and as a result, after a week, the links were erased.
Yeah, no bearings or grease in that tube, so good luck.
I cant speak for bicycles but in motorcycles a new chain is more efficient than bevel gears but actually research shows that chains lose efficiency rapidly as they wear. On a bicycle I guess that's less of a consideration. That's one reason you've seen more motorcycles move toward using belts and gears in recent years, along with lower maintenance.
Obviously with a bicycle gearing is a substantial consideration that favours chains. 👍
And another is that he can't rest his foot as the wheel rotates with the rotation of the pedal,unlike the chain system
There are many more disadvantages to this. When you put a lot of force on the pedals, the smaller gear will be pushed out, away from the other gear with great force. In the way he currently welded the tube, the connecting plate will just bend open, losing any contact between the teeth.
It's also much more difficult to do gear shifts, more likely to get something like a long dress or a coat being pulled into the gears, and probably a lot more.

Wow look now we’re pedaling twice as hard for what a chain can do in one pedal 😱 10/10
It's like mocking chains because you saw someone who's running a 22/52t spinning out once
You're assuming the chain is what creates the power ratio's, where it's actually the gears.
You could have an equally powerful push with an appropriate sized gear.
Hence why geared bikes have different sized cogs, not chains.
Chains are messy, relatively short-lived, and wallow in road grunge. Driveshafts (as motorcyclists well know) are neater and require almost no maintenance. The drawbacks of shafts for both motorbike and bike are initial cost, more weight, and less efficiency than a chain. I think the trade-off is often worth it.
@@rcnelson the friction loss must be crazy but true tbh, chain suck sometimes especially when they come off and you have to stop and put them back in, but ill keep my chains your opinion is valid though

this is actually is like truck on 1st gear. So you need to pedal more for to go faster but now you have more torque. So if he can do a double or triple gear system that is changeable it will be better than chain system I believe :D
That's why when they used to make bikes like these, back in the 1800's they quickly ditched them when derailleurs started appearing. Chain reigns supreme.

2) You'll have to pedal continuously, you can't 'glide' like you do in chain cycles
Apart from this, Great Idea!
👍👍👍
i think it is possible to integrate the same mechanism present in the rear gear set into the current one if he did not do it yet, that way you can just let it glide, but true you have to pedal more than in a normal bicycle, and I would like to see if it is possible to add something transmission like to this mechanism, and I guess it is not impossible, but will definitely be time and money consuming, but I thing the end product will just be worth it

Pretty cool, but I think a u joint would be better, at least for mountain biking. BMW actually made motorcycles with driveshafts instead of chains to atom mud getting in
Shaft driven bikes are immensely troublesome. Chain drives are far superior and vastly more rugged. The shaft drives are outdated and always tend to fail due to the prying nature of the gears. Even with shaft bearings they are no comparison to the chain drive
Yep. There’s a good reason for chain drive being the universal mechanism for pushbikes. This is a bit like making a piston engined airliner.
100%
shaft are also not that efficient when deliverinv power to the wheels compared to chains
@@tjfSIM or eating instant coffee without a spoon.
Not to mention that you are stuck with one gear.
Nice job! It is a work of art.
The reason they don't make bikes like this is that steel is stronger in the pulling direction that the twisting direction.
The shaft will always be at least as heavy as the chain.
Also bevel gears are less efficient than roller chain, and tend to slip more.
you just made that up, stop talking shit. try a more factual approach next time. for example, this can not change gears... the pedals can not freewheel... etc
@@bottomline99 you could easily add a freewheel to a shaft drive set up ..
@@bottomline99 Actually, bevel gears (or any gears) are less efficient because there's a change of direction - twice in this case. Any force vector reqiures energy that ultimately is not delivered to the wheel. Where that's also true of a chain, the angular deviation is minimal by comparison, and is mediated by the difference in sprocket size (proportional to the gear ratio). So "made up" or not, the assertion is correct. Also, tensile strength may be greater than yield strength, it depends on the material. However, this is unlikely to matter as the forces required to either twist or pull a 5/8" steel shaft to the point of damage are unlikely to be achieved in this application. That said, I agree that the two major omissions are disengaging the pedal (freewheeling), and providing multiple gear ratios. All-in-all, a chain drive using a modern derailleur to achieve a nearly linear transfer of force while providing a wide range of input-to-output ratios is hard to beat.
@ Patricia Lorentzen In my opinion the lower efficiency of bevel gears a simple matter of friction, which increases at 90 degrees with the inherent increased surface slipping that results (Agree with JMC on that). Respectfully disagree about the vector statement, eg a long belt drive that twists 90 degrees is virtually as efficient as if it didn’t. It was ‘The reason they don't make bikes like this is that steel is stronger in the pulling direction that the twisting direction’ that inspired my comment. That is not the reason, it urkes me when people just make shit up and preach it like fact! My thoughts and guess would be, for the same torque transmission, the chain style spreads load over a larger diameter cog and many teeth, the bevel gears are a smaller radius with only one or two teeth in contact, which undoubtedly results in much higher stresses, requiring higher quality materials, hardened surfaces, shimmed exactly to avoid wear, enclosed with oil (and seals) to achieve low friction, a variable gear ratio wheel hub drive. imagine its actually pretty good system performance wise however simply more heavier, complex, costly to make and maintain compared to the ole cheap and effective chain drive that won.
Nerd. 🤣👍

Not his idea, this is already an existing idea from 1900s
Yeh, it needs to have a clutch and a gearbox.
Those are the same two issues any fixed gear bike would have and they're still hugely popular. The biggest issue here is just ease of maintenance. Too easy to switch out a chain or cog or chainring compared to this. Shaft drives have been around longer than chain drives, bmw motorcycles and some others still use them. Shafts on a bicycle are only about 75% efficient where as chains are closer to 95% which is another issue.

It would be epic of he combined all of his insane bikes into one
But if he combine both shaft driven and hubless bike together, the bike would be very2 slow
True
Good idea until you crash, and now your stuck there bending aluminum back into place
There’s no way to change gear ratios so hills might be a challenge. Another potential problem would be contamination and grit sticking to the exposed gears, grinding away and making it harder to operate over time. You would be oiling it down every day. These are some reasons motorcycles use sealed shafts.
Actually, Pinion, Rohloff, Shimano Alfine, and Effigear are all examples of multi-speed manual gearboxes for bicycles that could support multiple speed shaft drive bikes. Combine that with hydraulic disc brakes and you basically have automotive level technology and performance for a man powered bicycle.

Not to take away from accomplishing this engineering project but I had a Sussex shaft drive bike for a few years. The chainless drive was rather more experimental than reliable. The shaft drive was mated to a Nexus 8 speed. The drive was heavy with more friction than a chain drive and the drive shaft kept snapping under load. There were lots of alignment issues. The curved bevel gears also wore out quickly. The gearbox was made from aluminum and too weak with undersized hardware. Expensive, heavy, inefficient, unreliable. Belt drive seems far superior.

At 4:41, the rear wheel spins about one quarter rotation after the pedals have stopped moving. With the design shown, that shouldn't be possible unless the gears are slipping. Looking at it frame by frame, it actually looks like the gear on the shaft is completely stopped but the gear on the wheel is moving. Is there some mechanism to disengage the gear that was not shown, or am I missing something else?
I too was thinking about that
He didn't modify the wheel hub, so I don't think it is any different from the normal bike where cruising (aka stop pedalling, wheel keep moving) is still possible?
The wheel to pedals rotation ratio seems to be different in separate scenes which should not be possible and there's not a single scene showing actual start of movement by pedaling (he clearly pushes with left leg in that one scene) so I don't think the rear cog is even attached to hub (he just drops it in place and actually attaching rear cog to hub is never shown). I think this is not a working prototype but the bike is simply pushed to movement and he is just acting to pedal it forward. The scene with turning from left to right shows the bike to be very unstable which also suggests that he is not putting force to rear wheel but free rolling while acting to pedal.

it's just a prototype/dumy model . he just made for fun purpose . don't take this seriously
Na bruh, with the small gear at the front, it will provide more than enough torque, too much cadence required. As a matter of fact, it needs a bigger driver gear if u want to use it as a normal bicycle.
@@abirabir5218 exato! É pura brincadeira e diversão dele.
@@kekhrieshuya5479 yeah .
I think this is slick! Probably an issue if you get dirt/pebbles in the gears though.
You can't coast!
Этот механизм не износостойкий, он должен работать в корпусе с маслом для смазки.Зачем изобретать велосипед,он уже изобретён!
Дело не только в смазкк и чистоте. На задней вилке должен быть метал толще, именно метал крепящий эти шестеренки. И в итоге получится слишком большой вес и преймушеств не так уж и много... Вот с двигателем был бы смысл наверное.
Там уже видно пошёл износ на шестерне от металлического пальца, металл по просту съест и все...
@@egorzhan ну на видео скорее ввсего автор сделал на скорую руку, чтобы показать. Но даже если всё сделать как надо, то все ровно такой привод очень сомнительно полезен.
народ ,давайте не будем говорить этому буржую о том ,что он просрал передаточное число ок ?
Это фикс получился. Теперь вел без холостого хода. Если только не добавить еще элементов, но стоит ли он того..
So this means when you stop pedaling the bike also stops? This idea may be better if the wheels continues to rotate while you stop pedaling
I've honestly never seen one of these shaft driven bikes. After seeing some of the comments and the video, I can see what the disadvantages are. Regardless, I'm still impressed you have the know how to put it together. I've always envied welders because it's something I'm too cautious to attempt.
Don't be John. Just buy a welder, find some pieces of scrap metal to practice on, watch some RUclips videos and have a go. C'n'est pas difficile.
I bet takin' a dump is a bit of an ordeal for you too ..... Puff .
@@ColinBarrett001 Is there any danger involved with the electricity?
Well if you have to be cautious, you might as well be cautious while welding !

Ideas in real Life
I thing, it is much less speed than normal bicycle
Nicely done ✅
A good take on an old idea 💡
It's amazing to think they made this concept, back to 1898 with the Chainless Columbia Model 51, which was also shaft driven...
I have not seen it on a bicycle before, so that was fun 👏
It would be okay around flat, Flemish countries, since there are no gears.
I noticed there is no retaining part, to hold in the modified - 'cotter pin', so it's just relying on compression, but that is an easy fix.
Sometimes we have to go back, to go forwards...
ie. A Hybrid engine originates over 100 years ago - from a submarine and the electric car was first developed in 1890, before the combustion engine, yet its become the 'new' thing...
Good video, thanks for sharing,
Atb Gus 👍
Back in these days there were only shaft bikes, no chain it wasn't invented yet
@@MainInternetUser No. Just no.
Shafts suck for this application. They're acceptable for motorcycles because you can build an engine that can provide enough power to make up for it, but they just suck. If you're concerned with maintenance the best compromise would be a modern belt driven bike. They're slightly less efficient than a standard chain bike, but they're much lower in maintenance. But, really, chain maintenance isn't that big of a deal.
@@SmallSpoonBrigade you make a valid point. There is another way...
The future is 'frictionless', so no 'gears' - no 'real' maintenance needed 😉
Yup. It was billed as "ideal for the ladies" because there was no chain to catch/dirty your clothing on.
Once he hits something really hard (or a deep pothole), those gears will probably decouple. Also, no adjustable ratios makes this only suitable for relatively flat cities.
My professor made this years ago, and it still is in his lab.
This design is probably a hundred years old, it's single speed and heavy, useless, which is why it isn't used.
The chain is cheaper and lighter. Waste of time , energy and money.
@@teemoleague907 it's true, but as an Engineer's experiment perspective it is nice.
@@kaseratarun hopefully he is getting the money off youtube for this or he he should report this channel
@@teemoleague907 no need to do this, the idea is already useless anyway.
Hear me out it might look like "omg he is devolving" but when i was riding my bicycle the chain broke and the cycle didnt just fall and hit a car it broke my jwels this is what i need
Looks like the gearing ratios may not have been taken into account. However this is still a great foundation to build from. Good idea.
That would be tough in a bicycle form factor. Motorcycles have a fairly wide transmission that wouldn't easily fit into a bicycle. You could probably do something along the lines of a continuously variable transmission though as that doesn't require much space to work with.
Hope those pins don’t fall out! Feels like they might come loose over time, but overall, very clean build and great video 👌
Tapered pins..Very common in machinery, they will stay put.
Direct drive is fun until u get your calf pinned inbetween the pedal and the ground 😉
Weld it . problem solve
@@memesfromdeepspace1075 No need. They'll actually adhere more with use. In fact, taking them out after a while can be challenging.
@@platinum6978 the rear hub was a standard single speed with coaster break. Still works as before but no chain. You can stop pedaling at will and coast or pedal back a bit to break.
It's a cool design no doubt, but it seems to me that design might wear out faster than the traditional chain, and might be harder to replace parts for your average consumer.
And its less efficient. Also this design is decades old
the real problem is the lack of gears
@@McKluskie well not really. Millions of people use gearless bikes. Its just really inefficient.
@@quackatit Sounds like a problem to me.
I love it! The drivetrain for a front wheel drive!
Old bicycles use technology like this. And I still have one at home, left over by my great-grandfather...
