Colin, could you give my friend some tips on how to make his lawnmower go faster without making his parents ground him? His channel is called Clueless Gearhead.
I wish the average person actually knew the amount of work it takes to build something like that, as well as the quality of your work. You do very nice work and it's always awesome to see the things you build. Awesome JOB!
RntUsmRt nobody ever is going to appreciate this video, only the ones who are related to machinery. Even more, the one that designed this mobility coach wouldn't ever dreamed of something like that can be done. Is a masterpiece!
Speise Quark you don't have a clue about how much work is put into a lot of his stuff . Two hours you having a laugh . making all the parts . Dream on .more like two weeks ..

ellen cameron This is Colin, he could pull off an air horn powered by a small pulse jet. Those things are loud on their own, now if you amplified that sound as much as possible...
“Son, your grandma died last night” Kid: “WHAT? But how?” Dad: “falling out of her chair.” Son: “ but that’s not deadly.” Dad. “She was 8 meters in the air... and she hit the ceiling first.”
What a refreshing change of pace in the way these clips are made. The music is awesome and the random things you do. Best channel I've found on RUclips in so long. You're a bloody dag
To make it easyer to go up and down an electronic steering thingi which controls how much it goes forward back or whatever direction maybe should be added
You need to get James Bruton to sort you out a control unit, so it syncs all the hydraulics to get you up and down easier. Of course it needs a disable switch so you can Furze it :)
yeah, just a little arduino that records the perfect sequence to go from the lowest to the up position, if you attach it under the seat you can use the "level sensor" to control the seat, so no matter where you are it lets te seat stay flat. it's something that james could program in like 1 hour.
An engineer probably would not go anywhere near Colins projects because of health and safety reasons and not wanting to kill people just like this one :-D
Maybe put extending arms since he has hydraulics already in place May be control them arms that extend front back right and left using hydraulics or install another pump in the basket and make it look nicer
Hes not hard working. Hes building stuff that he just thinks "this will be fun to do!" Then hes just lucky the internet loves it so he can do it more offen and as a job
J M S Gaming Bud, his tone just say's "Fuck it, let's do this!" That doesn't mean he's not working his ass off... I hope this isn't like a "Fuck you!" thing this is supposed to be a I'm just pointing this out...
J S M Gaming Im sorry but this is most definitely hard work that hes doing. In fact, its far beyond that because not only is he demonstrating beautiful feats of creativity and engineering hes doing it in a puny time frame with little to no formal engineering training AND on top of that he edits and posts all of his videos on a WEEKLY basis, again, with no sort of formal training. So i would definitely say he is worthy of the title "hardworking."
@@scottwhitley3392 Absolutely true. To be fair, that doesn't make them less of an engineer, just a different type. If they've got a good grasp of materials science, CAD, how to design an efficient structure and how to create something manufacturable, they're engineers even if they haven't got practical skills. Likewise Colin can obviously design and make; he's clearly an engineer even if he doesn't have the qualification. It's a broad field.
"not the safest thing I've ever made". It probably is actually. Idea: you could probably knock up a fairly simple Arduino arrangement to synchronise the worm drive motor with the lift so that the seat stays level automatically. You just need an angle sensor on the seat arm, like an optical encoder. If Arduino programming isn't your thing, put a shout out on the 'net - someone will offer ;-)
yep looks like a job for james bruton, doesnt even have to be optical, even a mechanical variable resister should work (a little bit more noise obviously)
It doesn't even have to be that complex. A simple setup of tilt switches on the seat to control the hydraulic motor would probably work. Too far out of level and the motor switches on one direction - too far the other way and the motor switches on the other direction.
If you had a level sensor in you wouldn't need to sync the two it could just keep level all the time regardless, even if you're going up hill or something :D
I never realized but you gotta do a lot of editing But you haven’t decreased the quality of the vids after you get tired,that shows how much he loves doing this💙
Yeah I really love him and he's doing a great job on his videos, but don't forget the quality doesn't decrease because he earns (lots of) money with youtube, so he better keep doing a good job if he wants the money to flow :D (which is totally understandable, my point is, dont be so naive ;))
If you add an arduino, and reduce the flow rate of the pump you could synchronize all 3 actuators and have the chair elevate perfectly level while keeping the center of gravity centered in between the axles. You could even go a step further and add pressure sensors to each weel to see in which direction the center of gravity is moving to keep it stable, or you know, calibrate the program over 4 scales.... Amazing development though!!!!
I really like how you dont just smash something but you make it look really good. and when you build something the content is not boring. keep up the good work.
YOU'RE GOING TO BE THE COOLEST OLD GUY! The one that chase's and races the bad boys on his mobility scooter and when things get rough he grabs a firework rocket launcher and takes them all down
Colin, you should add some breaks on it so when you go up and down, you can ignite some breaks and it won't wobble about and fall over.. Also, any chance of an Engine being put on board?
Right now hacksmith is working on a spy car and I thought, maybe you should do something like that. Yes the scooter is sort of like that but maybe try something bigger. I'd love to see you make an apocalypse van. Like one to match your bunker!
Looked super fun raising yourself up on it, then almost had a heart attack when you tried going back down. Needless to say I'll wait in line and pay 1$ for this ride, please :)
Stick an Arduino with a Gyroscope / Accelerometer on the seat, program it as a PID controller which steers the seat motor and seat levelling problem solved!
Gyro is enough, accelerometers are a pain to program rwliably and are not really made for this purpose. Also: gyroscopes use quite complicated coding and calculations, like a quaternion. Not really a thing for a non coder (even a task for a computer engineer). I havent tried it with arduino though, only 32 bit cortex m0+
yeah, it heavily depends on which chip you use, though. Some have sensor data fusion from gyro and accelerometer built in and deliver quaternion data via i2c, if you can get the library to work, that is.
Tom Lelie Gyroscopes do in fact make the matter much more complicated as all they can measure is angular acceleration and not absolute angle. But in Furze's case it would absolutely suffice to use just accelerometer data of the rotated axis. The acceleration will vary between -1g and +1g, depending on the accelerometer's angle relative to Earth's center of gravity. As this acceleration value is directly proportional to the angle, it should just be a matter of reading out the acceleration value of one axis and dividing it by a given constant. Of course, you can do extra filtering and smoothing of the result. But as can be seen for example in GreatScott's spirit level video, the deviations between measurements are on a scale of ±0.1° when using a sensor such as the MPU-9250. This would be an absolutely acceptable value which could be fed into a PID library and thus determined in which direction and how much the seat motor should move. Using a PID, it would be possible to adjust each parameter so the motor moves as smoothly as possible. (But of course, never forget to include a manual override switch, in case something goes wrong.)
If it hasn’t been set yet… You need to get James from X robots located in the UK to sort out some kind of Arduino controller program for that! Another amazing build, who cares if it’s necessary! LOL
colinfurze aye indeed! Get ya self there for motogp end of this month! I only once had a general admission ticket, never again haha. Always get same seats each year now down at woodcote grandstand. Would be a good video demonstration of your scooter! Keep up the good work Colin. :)
I love how this guy isnt one of those youtubers that make clickbait. Like he's actually very talented and skilled and puts a lot of work into his videos.
this guy is absolutely crazy. he's a president of a loony bin. "AND I LOVE HIM" punk music... childish verbal gestures and sound effects... awesome! keep it up. always watching and loving every single one of your projects...
Suggestion 1: Figure out the smoothest combination of moves to get you up and down, then etch/program those (sorry I'm not that familiar with electronics) into a small circuit controlled by one big lever to go up or down. Then you don't have to mess around with 3 different controls and it'll look cooler/more smooth. Suggestion 2: Mod the wheelbase again so it can climb onto high pavements by driving straight into them (and maybe stairs). Suggestion 3: Don't do anything to it that makes it unusable in real life. I know a lot of your inventions fit into the "crazy toy" category and rightly so, but what I like about this one is I can actually see an old man going around a shop with it and casually using the lift to reach the shelves. It would be so cool to make this super functional and "shop friendly", give this to an older relative/friend/neighbour of yours and see them actually using it without dying or setting the shop on fire. Suggestion 4: For self defence, the most likely situation I guess is someone robbing the user and running away. So you should put a Bola cannon on the front. From wikipedia: "A bola is a type of throwing weapon made of weights on the ends of interconnected cords, used to capture animals by entangling their legs." That could be fun. Suggestion 5: Also put a teenager deterrent on it (one of those high pitched sound emitters) and possibly some sort of hydraulic leg sweeper to knock the legs out from under any yobs next to the scooter.
Old people often forget to drink enough water. The police also forces protester back with water. I think you can combine that to defend against inner and outer threats. Maybe you can build a 360° sprinkler system and also a tap that gives you some water to drink, too. The ultimate pensioner care weapon system!
Someone: I bet you can't make a vehicle that can feed you, do your homework, swim, fly, drive in rough terrain, save the planet, fix air pollution, feed the pets and function as a normal car... colinfurze: Challenge accepted
Their center of mass is lower though, and hence more stable. Longer axles or rear stabilizers would help here. The center of mass is moving backwards when the arm extends/contracts.
im on a midnight binge watch marathon, and i was watching these and got hooked, lol, but ive been doing stuff like this since i was 14, im 22 now, so im having fun with these design ideas
We need another installment Colin. My kids love watching your channel and think you're clever and funny. My son made this from his Lego he liked it so much!
Put a steel weight in the front of it so when your dropping down its more balanced and the weight isn't in one spot. Then again added weight means a more powerful motor to handle the weight. win win Colin
Great job!!! To keep the seat parallel to the ground you can mount an articulated parallelogram, instead of the second motor.. In this eay you can easily control the height of the seat with only one motor and use the second motor for a fine tilt adjusting.. Far more easy!
*Who else wants Colin to increase the power on the big upwards piston, to make it into a trebuchet-chair?* (So it can launch a 90kg Colinfurze projectile over 300 meters ;P )
Is it just me or is Colin greatly suited to help Wintergarten with the marble machine X project. He always needs help making the bits and I feel like it would make a great collaboration.

"I'm not an engineer. I just buy tools and try to use them." Amen! Keep it up!!
Should be everyone's philosophy

No thank you band I didnt know yet!
I can only imagine him as an old man making gadgets to get out of the old folks home
Imagine the stories he can tell the great grandkids about the things he's made lol

That' s one reason why I keep watching Colin' s videos
the safety tie is all that is needed for this sort of thing, why do you think he never takes it off?
Oh PLEASE include an air horn from a cargo ship.
Probably very good way to weaponize it too.
those things are larger than the entire scooter m8
Aww, that's a shame. Can you imagine though?
HOWEVER, a small compressor and an air horn out of, say, a semi-truck, that might be doable....
TRAIN HORNS?

Sory of my life! but never work
By Colin furze
Sounds like an engineer to me
That's good enough for a legal disclaimer I think.
Thats awesome! It needs some outriggers for stability.
Yes, that is what was thinking, like stabilizers on backhoes. Or rocket stabilization like a space shuttle.
A bigger safety tie is all he needs.
Definitely needs outriggers especially if you plan to let anyone anyone else "ride". Bit of a liability otherwise.
Newtronwest Easier than this, add a restrictor somewhere in the piping. It may be harder on the pump, but its so much easier.
To make it easyer to go up and down an electronic steering thingi which controls how much it goes forward back or whatever direction maybe should be added

You need to get James Bruton to sort you out a control unit, so it syncs all the hydraulics to get you up and down easier. Of course it needs a disable switch so you can Furze it :)

“I’m not an engineer.” Colin Furze 2018.
he's saying this while engineering stuff, brilliant ;)
FDB 7 Trust, me, he's not. He is, however, a great designer and prototyper, and, in theory, product developer.
He's not got any engineering qualifications, his profession before youtube took off for him was plumbing.
An engineer probably would not go anywhere near Colins projects because of health and safety reasons and not wanting to kill people just like this one :-D
I think he was actually a plumber. Not sure about that one.
GIVE THIS MAN MORE LOVE! He’s easily the best fabricator on RUclips! Go Colin!!
Make the scooter controllable from the top
If you started driving while in the air I'm afraid it would tip over, it was barely stable when standing still.
Good idea but he needs to find a way to keep it from tipping
Maybe put extending arms since he has hydraulics already in place May be control them arms that extend front back right and left using hydraulics or install another pump in the basket and make it look nicer
@DOUBLEBANGERZ it needs support side to side the most and front and rear would be amazing
Yea... maybe add like 2 tons then it will be a great ideea
You're a complete madman! Never change.
lets just remind everyone this mad man was a plumber lol, now hes making hulkbusters and a cherry picker mobility scooter, hats off to you Colin.
The quality of engineering and workmanship is absolutely fantastic. A pleasure to watch. Which, I guess, why I AM watching

If you had a level sensor in you wouldn't need to sync the two it could just keep level all the time regardless, even if you're going up hill or something :D
Exactly. It would have more advantages other than just extending the boom and not falling off - basically a steady-cam seat. ;)
You should add stability legs!
A tad longer safety tie - perferably one with stripes = enough!

Do a cooler on the front end of it and use that to hide the counter weights.
Might make it slightly less terrifying to use, ha.
How to get sitting at a concert
Oh yes! This would be *perfect* for that. You just raise the hydraulic seat and you can see above everyone elses head.
SUBLIS GAMING Just don't take it to a metal concert. They'll find out how unstable it is and push it over.
Best line ever... “I may make stupid things, but I make ‘em as best I can...” ... 😂👌🏻😂
You remind me of baird from gears of war after reading the books, very confident and mildly sceptical of all your inventions. I like it.
I cannot find the words to describe how much I love this man 😂
Buy a dictionary then
Fakyo israel👹👹🐷🐖🐷

One thing is for sure is you have endless patience. I'd have jumped into a lake during a thunderstorm 20 times before I finished this.
Where's the flamethrower and the jet engine?
never said it was finished
colinfurze You're making me worried
this guy is absolutely crazy. he's a president of a loony bin.
"AND I LOVE HIM"
punk music...
childish verbal gestures and sound effects...
awesome!
keep it up.
always watching and loving every single one of your projects...
Suggestion 1: Figure out the smoothest combination of moves to get you up and down, then etch/program those (sorry I'm not that familiar with electronics) into a small circuit controlled by one big lever to go up or down. Then you don't have to mess around with 3 different controls and it'll look cooler/more smooth.
Suggestion 2: Mod the wheelbase again so it can climb onto high pavements by driving straight into them (and maybe stairs).
Suggestion 3: Don't do anything to it that makes it unusable in real life. I know a lot of your inventions fit into the "crazy toy" category and rightly so, but what I like about this one is I can actually see an old man going around a shop with it and casually using the lift to reach the shelves. It would be so cool to make this super functional and "shop friendly", give this to an older relative/friend/neighbour of yours and see them actually using it without dying or setting the shop on fire.
Suggestion 4: For self defence, the most likely situation I guess is someone robbing the user and running away. So you should put a Bola cannon on the front. From wikipedia: "A bola is a type of throwing weapon made of weights on the ends of interconnected cords, used to capture animals by entangling their legs." That could be fun.
Suggestion 5: Also put a teenager deterrent on it (one of those high pitched sound emitters) and possibly some sort of hydraulic leg sweeper to knock the legs out from under any yobs next to the scooter.
Or make the whole thing a big tazzer🤣
Put a mountable minigun on the bac
You spelled "jobs" wrong on the last line
Edit. Nvm i read the rest of the sentance
colinfurze dude i love your music selection, it reminds me of the old tony hawk games. Your channel is awesome +1 subscriber
Colin, you are the absolute best
I'm a mobility engineer and I gota say Colin your a genius, you got crazy skills
You're
"I'm not an engineer, I just buy tools and try and use em" needs to be on a t-shirt
Colin is like the a-team except he doesn’t use the stuff he builds to fight people, he uses it for fun
Colin is definitely the son of Murdoch if there ever was one.
And he loves it when a plan comes together.
*pulls out cigar* Fuck yeah!
Old people often forget to drink enough water. The police also forces protester back with water. I think you can combine that to defend against inner and outer threats. Maybe you can build a 360° sprinkler system and also a tap that gives you some water to drink, too. The ultimate pensioner care weapon system!
that's a genius idea right there!
You've got cnc cutting, vertical drill, lathe and all kinds of things man I love it!❤️
Someone: I bet you can't make a vehicle that can feed you, do your homework, swim, fly, drive in rough terrain, save the planet, fix air pollution, feed the pets and function as a normal car...
colinfurze: Challenge accepted
Maybe try making the axles longer to stabilise it laterally
And maybe a retractable wheelie bar if youre up for the extra style points
Crispy Memes I have seen people on these things that weigh more than this contraption and Colin combined.
Their center of mass is lower though, and hence more stable.
Longer axles or rear stabilizers would help here. The center of mass is moving backwards when the arm extends/contracts.
And streamers on the handlebars for aerodynamics and cool points with the ladies (or wife).
Hydraulic outriggers mate. ;-)
You've got a wee bonny lad tuh think bout right?
Daniel Nunya Bidnezz thank u
im on a midnight binge watch marathon, and i was watching these and got hooked, lol, but ive been doing stuff like this since i was 14, im 22 now, so im having fun with these design ideas
I am amazed at how you are able to do this kind of stuff in a week, it would take me at least 2 years just to do that. How do you do it?
This a channel with fantastic music!👌
Bugs3500. Glad we could help!
Yes we come for the music 😶
So many things are wrong with this. But still... 10/10 would recommend.
We need another installment Colin. My kids love watching your channel and think you're clever and funny.
My son made this from his Lego he liked it so much!

"I may make some stupid things...but I try to make 'em the best I can"-----That needs to be put on a T-shirt...
No rockets or lazors? Still love it. Nice one Mr Furze.
Ian Lynch he said that it doesn't has a self defens mechanism. The lasers might come, just have patience
”Im not a engineer i just buy tools and try to use them” 2 moths ago i just finished my big hulkbuster that can lift real humans!
Put a steel weight in the front of it so when your dropping down its more balanced and the weight isn't in one spot. Then again added weight means a more powerful motor to handle the weight. win win Colin
Of all the things Colin has done, I honestly think this is the most dangerous. Lol
are you saying a bike with 100's of fireworks was safer
The Bean well the fireworks can't give him a concussion from falling 7 feet onto concrete, can they?
ruclips.net/video/bKHz7wOjb9w/видео.html
joe nodden no but they can set you on fire and there is the fact that they explode
What about the microlight fan powered 360 swing? 😂😂😂
Add a wheelie bar for safety reasons, to not flip over like seen in the video.
do you think anything is supposed to be safe here
He's wearing his saftey tie. So there is no need ;)
This guy....
AWESOME!
Great job!!!
To keep the seat parallel to the ground you can mount an articulated parallelogram, instead of the second motor.. In this eay you can easily control the height of the seat with only one motor and use the second motor for a fine tilt adjusting.. Far more easy!
Person: So what do you do for a living?
Colin: Yes
*Who else wants Colin to increase the power on the big upwards piston, to make it into a trebuchet-chair?*
(So it can launch a 90kg Colinfurze projectile over 300 meters ;P )
Yes.
Is it just me or is Colin greatly suited to help Wintergarten with the marble machine X project. He always needs help making the bits and I feel like it would make a great collaboration.
meep706 do you really want a Marble Machine that hurls steel balls at supersonic speeds?
meep706 dderty
Hugh Brackett you sir, you made my day!
Put a Marine Battery in there man! I know I'm 2yrs late, but RUclips didn't tell me till a few days ago. Lol
Should put some brace legs to stabilize the machine :P
What is the song information for the tune that starts playing at point 6:20 in 'phase II' of the Cherry Picker scooter?
ruclips.net/video/-FodMDmvJlo/видео.html - Chisel by The Rival
Me: Erm how do I build this?
Me: DADDDD! Can you call Colin Furze Please?
your choice of music is always spot on man love it
