A Pedal-Pushing Drive Build

[Cackalacka]

Genius.

This transcends awesomeness.

Built for all the right reasons, too; Grayhair is going to inspire more than a couple kids to pursue science & engineering. A legacy much more profound than can be measured in mph or Ah.

I must confess, though, I am now a bit apprehensive about the future of mankind. Allow me to take this opportunity to welcome our new robobike overlords.

HEY !!!! . I Just seen Joules on Discovery Channel !!!!!!!!!

 

[bigmoose]

Carl, truly impressive! Outstanding design and execution! Joules should be in a museum at some point in time... Joules would also make a great operating display at the FIRST Finals, perhaps drop Dean Kamen a note and a link.

Well done, well done!

Magficent.

I actually came across this on engadget.com, and a search here turned up this thread on my favorite website!

Dear Chris,
I work for a printed magazine that would like to do a short story on your amazing "Joules." We have no idea where to contact you.

Please respond.

Paula

i cant get the original Terminator movie out of my head when i see joules. Give him red glowing eyes and an 80w plasma rifle and that should keep cars at a distance.

If thats keeping the skills sharp im staying away from your skills . likely to get a fatal injury just looking at them.

hhmm now where did i put my rusty dull old skill set . oh ya laying in the grass under the shade tree getting drunk.
oh and by the by thanks . this has made me empty my closet of shame (failed and abandoned projects) and in doing so found a rather pricey tap and die set i was about to replace. bonus.

Not only is it one of the neatest tandem setups ive ever seen id bet joules can peddle harder than my wife and has a far lighter maintenance schedule.

there . thats all the jokes i had

spectacular project .

I stand in awe of your rusty skill set. A guy could get cut into small bite sized pieces, and repurposed in a fair hurry by it.

Mekanizmalar is a useful resource. I hadn't visited the site for a while - it was a nice surprise to find that Joules is now there
