Future Gadget 003

This is a "windup" automatic transmission.

It has two distinct speeds.

Here is the video of how it works:

Here is the video of it driving in my kitchen.. Ignore the doll on the floor...

I was kinda going for a space theme to it too.

Minecraft Work Party

Some friends and I got together and played Minecraft for a while.

It was the first time I actually beat the game.

Died one time along the way.

After betting the game we turned on creative mode and just built for a while...

My friend build the castle, stables and a few other things.
I built floating island.

Future Gadget 002

This is a new twist on the Future Gadget 001.

It uses a differential to take the torque when there is little friction caused by the CVT which causes it to go slow. When the CVT is torqued low it causes torque on the differential which causes it to go the speed of the motor feeding it.

The result was better control over speed but not a very good transmission.

Low torque at low speed and higher torque at high speed.

This gadget uses the wheels and suspension from the red super car.
