Yeah and the wood being a soft and rough material but still pliable means any friction is being multiplied. I think a computer machined aluminium frame with bearings could make a huge difference along with born block and tackle. It explains why he has such a heavy draw weight with loads of energy lost on the release.

You want some really powerful self contained coil springs Jeorg? Get some rope returns for magnetic rowing machines. They're coil springs contained inside a plastic case, weigh about 1kg and have the spring pre-tensioned with two bolts sticking out so they can be indexed. Perfect for building a crossbow out of. Snapped one on my previous rowing machine and was extremely thankful I wore a face shield when trying to bend it back into its slot as the spring launched itself right into my face.

I can see a few ways to improve the basic performance: First, replacing the paracord with a proper bow string. It's an ok substitute for testing, but between its weight, how much it stretches, increased friction, etc... Paracord wastes a lot of power. Likewise, I think the string stop's design interrupts the powerstroke at a crucial moment. I don't have a solution for that, but letting the string follow through might be better. Of course, as stated in the video, there's also the weight of the spring housing. anything that could be done to safely lighten them would be beneficial. Someone else also mentioned graphite powder lubrication, which would help. The one thing I think it really needs, though, is stability. the design would really benefit from either a counter weight or more likely,a slingshot style arm brace. that would improve the draw considerably.

@areadenial23432 жыл бұрын
Great stuff! There is definitely room for improvement here. One idea I had is that you could couple the bowstring to the springs using a non-constant gear ratio, to achieve draw characteristics similar to a compound bow. Springs linearly increase in force the more they are compressed, so it would be beneficial to counteract this with gearing, giving the springs a more or less constant force. Instead of wood, you could use 3D-printed spools for the bowstrings to reduce the weight and inertia. All of these improvements would result in a compact bow with much improved performance.

@nirodha70282 жыл бұрын
Love it Joerg! Finally another interesting new approach from you! What I would recommend for the draw to be less awkward is to put the grip in front of the two wheels and not below it. Make the pull in line with your holding hand. For a design like this in which the pull of the strings is really linear in relation to your hand much different from a normal bow… a perfect central hold is crucial. You can space the wheels out more to be left and right of your holding hand so the hand can sit in between. Just a though. Changes the formfactor a lot but makes it way more comfortable and ergonomic to draw.
@maxvarjagen98102 жыл бұрын
Lay both wheels flat on the same plane, so that the rotary force cancels itself out instead of pulling the bow down. Then attach a wooden bracket connecting the wheels from above to eliminate the strain and friction on the axles. This should also allow the string stopper to be made narrower, further reducing friction. Combine this with OP's suggestion of placing the handle in front of the wheels, and the end product should look and function like a bow with coils for arms. (with a perpendicular slingshot-style grip)
@saml76102 жыл бұрын
This design is actually very promising, but it needs some tweaks, and a couple add-ons. The first thing I'd go for is a wrist brace that grips the bottom of your wrist (I noticed serious downward recoil from the inertia of the spring wheels). The brace would distribute that force into your arm, which is waaaay more bouncy/force arresting than the body of the coilbow, so it can absorb the force. The second thing I'd go for is something like two or more arrow rests, one where you have it right now, and one on a rod that extends back from the pistol grip towards your elbow. Two (or three, optimally, to guarantee a smooth trajectory as it starts flying) arrow rests will guarantee the string doesn't fly up as it approaches it's resting position (which you can see in the slow motion). Third, I'd test different coil springs. The alloy you use for the springs, as well as the hardness/elastic properties the spring has can vary wildly depending on that. Trying different springs would undoubtedly yield extremely different results, specifically regarding the velocity at which the springs return to their resting state. Higher spring velocity should equal higher arrow velocity. Ideas for future iterations might include a spring that really decompresses quickly, but to compress would require a mechanical advantage (a block/tackle system). What if you could pull back the string, and lay the arrow onto a track guide that extends ~8 inches back from the pistol grip? That would be very effective, as it would stabilize the arrow, and it could have a locking lug that keeps the arrow in the "cocked" position. A crank that actuates a cocking bar would require the whole thing be a bit longer (1/2 the length of the arrow, I would assume), but this could be fine considering it's a "bullpup", which means as long as it doesn't go past the elbow, it's good. The bow release wouldn't even be a separate requirement at that point, it could be built into the trigger mechanism (admittedly, making the trigger more complex, since you'd essentially be building in the bow release). Now of course, this increases costs, and makes it harder to build, but I still think it would be very cool. Ultimately, food for thought. You've give me some ideas. I may try to build an improved version and then send you video of it in operation. I'd be honored to be included in a video or something, if I do end up doing that (my wife likely has other projects I need to work on, though). Very cool video though, I appreciate how innovative you are, it inspires me to try interesting things.

So awesome to see you make one of these! I finally made a useful discovery in this particular rabbit hole of diy crossbow making and that is you can shoot bolts through an enclosed barrel with just one rubbered fly wheel or a fly gear if you make gear bolts. I also found that string is non-helpful with these design because it's being pulled directly forward instead of outward and so it doesn't accelerate and bounce the arrow off the string like a trampoline like on a normal bowstring. I also found that design super thin, lightweight gears and having two torsion coils power one launch wheel improves efficiency by going from a twin to a mono assembly but once you start getting decent power then the issue is durability because light 3d printed gears eventually shatter from the sudden stop and so I gave up on gear bows for now lol but they are possible and cool but almost impossible to engineer a good one from home because it's like trying to do horology but at crossbow scale.
@Pirateforliberty2 жыл бұрын
Jorge, I would put on a wrist stabilizing bar that goes both over, and under your wrist. When you draw and shoot your wrist is moving the arrow up and down. So the arrow goes into Archer's Paradox on release, and your wrist movement is exaggerating that movement. Nice compact design though. This one I think you should develop and market. A steel frame, composite covers, steel wheels, and you will have a wrist rocket on steroids.

I have a few suggestions for improvements: - Since the energy is not stored, the pistol grip puts more uneven strain on the hand than neccessary and you loose accuracy. Maybe put an axle through all the coils, so that the coils turn the axle and the axle turns the drums and you grip the axle. With a little offset between grip and axle you could balance it even more. It would make the grip a little thicker, though. In this config the arrow would accelerate very close to your arm, so you'd need arm protection! - To increase the draw length and therefore increase the power transmission phase, you could offset coils from its neighbor on each side. E.g. first the inner pair engages the axle, then the next outer pair and so on. This would require stronger coils, but would lend itself to learners or competitions, since you can change the coil package, but keep the rest the same. Having a custom grip can be really nice. - If you're super fancy, you could put a gearbox (e.g. planetary gear) inside, to replace the block and tackle.

Maybe add a short extension to the "barrel" to stabilize the arrow. That's some nice work tho

You should make a version with one spool on top of your hand, and the other one on the bottom of the grip. I think that would be more comfortable and less likely to twist your wrist. Position the spools either laying down flat aka co-linear. Or with them standing upright aka coplanar. Ideally the spools would be the same distance from your wrist and the rope should leave the pully as close to your wrist as possible to mitigate any twisting/pulling of your wrist.
@Hfil662 жыл бұрын
With regard to reducing the mass, it would seem that using wood for the rotors would seem somewhat extravagant, and you could use something like polycarbonate for the rotors. Certainly, using pulleys would be one way of gaining mechanical advantage, but you could also look at just using gears (cogs) to also provide mechanical advantage to allow a short action spring to operate on a long action bowstring.

suggestion. maybe have the coils vertical instead of horizontal of the grip making it more into a traditional bow than a crossbow, this also would definitely improve it's stability and aim, and you may also be able to add in more coils. how it would look like is like.... dumbbells but the coils would be vertical so dumbbells but the weights being sideways, i think that would work very well as a mini compact bow. forgot to add that i guess you would need a brace of some sort to catch the string as it returns to it doesn't also hit your hand.

What if you used the coiled springs as an aid to drawing a regular bow? Push forward into the springs, then let the springs release as you draw the real strings back. The speed of release wouldn't matter as much because it's not releasing the arrow so much as helping pull the string. And the compactness of the coils would be way better than the previous bow aids.
