How to Make a Human Hamster Wheel

How we made an eight foot tall human hamster wheel for a children's video shoot.

[@foxdylan9536]

This is awesome, should be one in every school & home, kids would love it...

[@sheeara]

👏🥳My adhd would settle down if I did homework on this thing. I’m a stander when I work too. If there was one of these when I was learning to type it would have gone so much faster. I think it would be amazing to help this team fund, build and distribute this intelligent project. I believe this would be more beneficial than desks in some circumstances. Thank goodness we don’t even have to choose with this combination. Wouldn’t it be cool to send this video to someone who knew not to facilitate the opportunity. Anyways, hope you got a happy Wednesday🥰liking this idea with you.🎉

Sir, after watching this, no one else can be you.

[@jacobopstad5483]

I love it! You could add some kind of a safety platform to jump onto in case it goes too fast.

Beautiful!

Loved the project and didn't subscribe...until the very end...You got me! Can't wait to see your other videos!

I bet this came in handy during the covid 19 lockdowns.

[@MrJakson112]

Spotted this in the background of a UN documentary interview, and just knew it had to be a youtube project

[@BobsTwoCarGarage]

Hmmm, interesting. I get a lot of responses from developing countries about this.

Great project! Like it even more because of the Proverb reading. We do need reminders to focus on what matter the most every now and then.

good job bob!

thanks for the encouragement.

[@kalinewaters8063]

Thats because 200 million people who are watching Rihanna or Lady Gaga dont have time for a rat spinning wheel video. But us losers do!!! Lol

Kaline Waters you guys watch the important stuff🤪

[@pcfrivera6023]

Thx Bob. I want one. Would be a great carnival/rental type thing.

this is great. ive seen these made cat-sized for indoor cats.

[@peterjf7723]

@@eeveefennecfox If you made a human size wheel then your cats and dogs could use it as well.

[@Treasures328]

We had one of these years ago at a playground near oir house!!! We had ao much fun in it! We got trampled if someone fell bit it was one of the best times!!

[@JerryDLTN]

I thinking of building one of these, starting looking at different videos, and then thought how to gear this to turn ~5 RPMs (or ~1.3 MPH walking speed) to a 300 amp car alternator at >6000 RPM. 300 amps at 12 volts is ~3.6 kWh.

[@BobsTwoCarGarage]

Jerry Lifsey I’d like to see it.

[@Rick_Sanchez_C137_]

Hook it up to a generator and a battery... create your own power.... train your large dog to exercise on it and each of you can take turns creating power... I’m building a cabin in Alaska, I should do this for power there because the trees are too tall and the clearing not big enough for an appropriately sized solar or wind power generator.... then it will require less use of my little red suitcase (Honda 2000 generator)...

[@nomnom914]

how did it go

[@medusasnoggin]

Yes!!!!Thank you! Gonna build one this fall

[@BobsTwoCarGarage]

Cool

[@softspasoundsasmr9048]

😂 the cool factor is important! I love it.

[@eugeneminton2613]

you know with moisture content you could get a sheet of plywood to bend right? similarly with boards. idk if 4 rings around like 3 foot wide cut plywood, some support bars and rollers to help it move with a braking system ... eh i think too much.

[@BobsTwoCarGarage]

Yea, too much but go ahead and dream

[@sheeara]

👏🥳Fantastic! I was literally just thinking… “you know what I need?!🤭An adult hamster wheel!”🎉This probably sounds like a joke but I was on Amazon before I found you. I’m a filmmaker which basically translates into saying I have Peter Pan syndrome.😉Now THAT is the actual punchline. Responsibility isn’t lost on me so… I do my best work with everything and everyone. I’m so enamored by “how, why” and all the questions that would have led you to this quest. As you said, so well, nobody else could do the job as great as the person allowing themselves to be worked through. Finding the wisdom of the past and using it to build dreams while we’re here. Thank you for sharing what your dreams are made of with us. I’ll just be over here subbing, liking and making TT’s. If you’re ever over there. Looking forward to the content you bring.👏🥳Sending my best prayers and appreciation to your team. I’m going to be disassembling pallets in the snow for years now! Hopefully you get a giggle imagining that!🤞🤣🎉Happy Wednesday new friends. Very HUGE cool factor with this project!🥳10/10 easy🎉~Sheeara, Alaska

[@miraculousedits2529]

I did it once when I was a little kid and broke my arm 😂😂😂good times

[@BobsTwoCarGarage]

If you break your arm it should always be when you’re doing something cool.

[@miraculousedits2529]

Bobs Two Car Garage well I broke my leg once for jumping off the roof onto the trampoline. It was a dare and I thought it would be fun to do that. It wasn’t so fun when I missed the tramp and heard a crack 😂😂😂 I guess that was cool

[@BobsTwoCarGarage]

Cool, and a great story... disclaimer , I’m not officially sanctioning any of this.

Where are you located? In what state? It needs a brake. Like one that you pull back or some thing. I’m building this. Thx Bob. 👍

[@BobsTwoCarGarage]

California, a brake eh? Wouldn’t that take all the trill, fear and danger away?

you could use an old drill with a friction wheel to generate electricity with this

Yes you could.

That’s a good proverb.

[@BobsTwoCarGarage]

One of my favorites...thanks for watching to the very end.

[@DylanBegazo]

Bobs Two Car Garage Thanks. My favorite is the definition of Love which is in 1st Corinthians Chapter 13. The whole chapter. With a fun fact small summary of the 3 main hierarchical powers at the bottom: “Faith, Hope and Love. And the greatest of these, is Love” ☺️

[@dutchhollowfarms_]

Now can you build one for my farm?

[@BobsTwoCarGarage]

Perhaps with a lifetime supply of avocados.

[@munsonmusclefitness]

What is the width of the wheel? I’m guessing 3ft?

[@BobsTwoCarGarage]

Pretty sure it was 32” but honestly I forgot , sorry

[@jasonb421]

You should make cat & dog wheels… just a little smaller & you could use this same design… I actually have a pet possum that I want to build an exercise wheel for & I like your approach to the idea. It’s different than other channels (but they were making cat wheels instead of human wheels). I like that you ended the video with a Bible verse. KZbin might make it harder to get more subscribers though because the people at KZbin seem to dislike believers. But that’s what Christ told us would be the case with the world. God bless brother.

[@BobsTwoCarGarage]

Thanks for the feedback

[@minemoore697]

Bob what is the cost for this

[@BobsTwoCarGarage]

Whatever 6 sheets of plywood , the threaded rod , the wheels and a bunch of screws cost. I honestly didn’t keep track, sorry.

[@minemoore697]

@@BobsTwoCarGarage would it be too difficult for an amateur craftsman.

[@BobsTwoCarGarage]

@@minemoore697 well you gotta just jump in sometimes and give it a try. Cutting an accurate circle is probably the most critical part. If you don’t use a router like I did, cut very carefully with a jig saw. Go for it.

[@michaelthompson6860]

I will need one of these for my house in the yard when I move to New Mexico please. I can't piece it together though because of my severe health issues and disabilities. The wood would have to be waterproofed too since it will be outside of the house. Also I will have to add on those peel and stick foot grips like they do for handicapped ramps as well on each plank of wood so I don't fall.

This definitely needs an alternator attached to generate power. They could make a huge one of these or a really long one and get prisoners doing some good for everyone by generating power for people.

Lol, or we could get our kids to generate some power for us .:)

From my amateur understanding you could put four dynamos at the base of the wheel to produce electrical power while you run and hook it up to a charge controller which you can then hook up to a lithium ion high capacity battery bank to power a home as a compliment to a solar system. I’ve seen this done before. My answer is can I use thicker wood to make the wheel or would that complicate the design

[@BobsTwoCarGarage]

Catalyst - D B yes I’ve seen that before too. Thanks for watching.
