“Motorcycles are basically a motor with wheels” Ah yes, this is the engineering knowledge i tune in for

[@Norweeg]

I’ve always thought of them more like “wheels with a motor,” but I suppose that analogy works as well. It’s a very technical nuanced definition, so I can understand how people can have trouble describing one in simplified terms, including myself.

[@brandonmack111]

My guess is that the rope is actually 60 meters, and they just rounded down when they converted the units. And that's why they have a rope listed as 196 feet.

[@john_john_john]

@@Ms.Pronounced_Name if that was the case, they could've measure 204.08ft of rope instead and sold it as 200ft.

[@diesuppe4452]

@@Ms.Pronounced_Name makes sense if made in the US, doubt that tho. Since (almost) everyone else uses metric, the 60m theory is more plausible

Great video! I think you could scale it up even more if you shot it from the top of a tower or tall building so that the string can feed straight up as it starts.

I agree, It would be really cool to launch it off of a cliff or something, and may allow it to get even bigger!

Perhaps it maintains its shape because of the air resistance and therefore stays in the air but as you said go through the air then returns to the pull of the wheels also love the vid man

8:26 "Time to switch to 200ft... or, well, 196ft. I don't know why Amazon would sell [a] 196ft length of rope, but uh, they do, and I bought it." Assuming you are rounding down from 196.85 feet, it would be because the rope is actually 60 meters.

[@creamyhummus]

Such a hilariously silly project, but the dedication and ingenuity you put to use getting it to work is truly amazing.

[@care-o-sene]

here's some variables you didn't mention in the video that i think are some real things to consider if another revision of this is made: the thickness of the rope and how that affects how easily it bends and ties into knots. steve mould's videos on the chain fountain have parts about minimum bend radius, and i think that's something that causes the knotting. the smoothness of the ground the rope is being pulled back on. concrete is very rough and the friction with the rope and the ground is definitely contributing to the slow acceleration. maybe doing it on an ice skating rink would make it get up to speed a lot sooner. this is probably why the handheld ones work so much better at lower speed, the bottom portion of the loop is in the air with minimal friction. maybe doing it off the edge of a rooftop would allow for that?

[@thebush6077]

[@VanlifeTroglio]

[@JoelCreates]

thank you!

[@234fddesa]

Feel like the rope getting bunched up is probably just due to it getting twisted and applying compounding torque until it causes a loop to form and gets tangled. This would probably tend to happen any time the rope meets any form of resistance along it's length. I think you might find more luck with something like a chain that inherently can't do that sort of thing, or maybe a long flat loop of ribbon. Or a chainsaw.

[@TheLazyJAK]

Idk why but I feel like the rope needs to be much thicker as you make it longer in this scenario.

[@BleachWizz]

7:25 - my first instinct here is to think of settleing a coil with the rope so the loop is not formed yet, from the footage feels like by the time all of the rope has accelerated it has whipped somewhere which messes with the flow. Feeding the rope from a stationary and organized position at first feels like would help the rope form the first loop whitout tangling. Basically bootstraping.

[@quintinflower1317]

If I had to guess, Amazon don't sell 196 foot rope, they sell 60 meter rope with a unit conversion.

[@originsdecoded3508]

Seems like it worked once you took the motorcycle out from the car shop. The difference would be that there is less air ventilation and air flow inside. But outside you had much more wind thus creating the proper air flow lift and air drag in order for the string to pick up smoothly. Kind of works under the same principle as a kite using air lift. As the rope is pushed forward at high speeds, airlift is created under the ropes as it drags across the wind giving it that floating smooth motion. its not just about the rope being pulled back in. In a more windy day, I believe you would get far more interesting airlift.

[@SIM-A1]

That's cool I need this now

[@thecolaracer1873]

btw amazon sells 196ft ropes cuz that’s a standard 60 meter climbing rope

[@ComradeLeanna]

[@codenamexelda]

"You dont know what this is? Your living under a rock cretin!" But... I KNEW what it was...

[@Pyromancers]

uhmwpe tape for low friction return? adjustable tension on out and in ends of loop? Spray or soak the whole rope with reflective paint and shine a light on it and run it at night? Use different reflective colors at different points along the rope to create a strobe or other effects. Strontium europium glow power mixed with adhesive to coat with glow effect. Use ropes that are florescent under black light for night shot too (scattered uv lasers or big ass uv led light for source). Maybe continually soak with corn starch and water to get florescence under black light.

[@Luucas-kl6ib]
