It needed more struts. Perhaps 3 on each bolt so there wold be a total of 18 struts.

[@sunshinekid6922]

@@Novusod The number would not change the balance. Look at any bicycle wheel: The spokes oppose each other - one forward and one backward. The did not have any opposing spokes. I think simply having an opposing set of gas strusts would have fixed the problem.

Needs a revisit. Use the original outer rim and a 200mm pipe for hub. Use inner and outer gas struts.

[@souljastation5463]

it needs way stronger struts and rim to be able to sustain a car

[@chrismason301]

Or just use full on suspension springs, using the same design as softwheel

Actuator should be compresed to half lenght to awoid hanging on single spoke

[@iamzid]

I though about compressing the struts when I first saw them being put on, but after some thought I found that that would only work if the struts were installed in a triangle formation. as they were put in they would just extend to full as soon as the pressure was let off, because there is nothing pushing back.

[@pvt_mtbl9516]

As a teenager back in the sixties, I designed exactly just this. It still is an amazing idea and can certainly be developed into something exciting.

[@stevangucu522]

That whistle song is so nice I started whistling along!

[@Gkitchens1]

I bet if you used heavier struts and you used 8 of them in pairs, 4 in the inside, 4 on the outside and offset them, it would probably work out okay. Something a little beefier but with a shorter throw. Very cool idea!!

[@johndevries8759]

Keep the outer rim like on a true spoke wheel so you can inflate the tire and angle the struts like true spokes and try it again. You guys are amazing with your ideas and your positivity, a massive success!!

[@Mark.D.H.]

As soon as the rebar was welded on, there was no point having the struts as the wheel lost its flexibility. I think if it was cross-braced it might have lasted a bit longer.

[@Kitteh.B]

My thoughts exactly. I was hoping they'd double up the struts, like two per bolt or maybe crossing them in an X pattern or something.

[@AnarchistMetalhead]

the way struts cross over on regular bike wheels helps stability, would recommend you trying that

[@ryantexada9269]

The struts probably should've been half compressed before being bolted in place, that way they actually have room to flex In the video, the struts were essentially equivalent to spokes because they had no room to flex

[@knh62903]

Flaming Potato compressing the struts would work in theory, but in this configuration, once they are released they will all just return to their original length. this would work in a triangle type pattern or other configurations but not this one

[@Tootal74]

try it again with crossed springs (like bicycle-spokes X ) and mount them half way compressed so they can stretch and compress. Love your experiments!

[@jamesshawjr5299]

Could you try 2 or possibly 3 rows of the gas struts to somewhat keep the wheel more in alignment. Kind of like spokes! Just not as many!! It's an idea. Keep up the great work!!

You're right. And alternating them to the inner & outer side of the rim should help eliminate the wobbling.

[@hybridamericandude3575]

Very interesting experiment. May I suggest using many more shocks in two rows (inner & outer rows) to help with the wobble. Then mount the shocks mid-travel. More shocks handle the weight better. Mounting them mid-travel would allow the lower side to compress and the upper side to extend. Thanks for the video!
