@montoyas: Thank you very much for your input. Could you please throw in some specifics as to how this could be built? EDIT: I just researched friction drives a bit. Looks like a great idea, I think I'm beginning to understand it now. However, would a friction drive be able to power an entire...

My education may exceed yours, but your idea of the most basic of basics is my idea of complicated physics and terminology :redface: I looked up cordless drill motors, it seems like a cylinder with an axle sticking out from the middle. Are there any drill motors that have axles coming out from...

19, freshman in college, chemical engineer major. The rockets were just an idea, we can just toss it out and stick to the motor. Any ideas on the motor? Would more power/speed by achieved with: 1) The rubber belt idea? or 2) enlarging the gears, and placing a gear between each wheel, so...

smallville is an excellent show, however House is a little better =] I drew some schematics and added another factor. They can be found here: http://img145.imageshack.us/my.php?image=rollerdu3.jpg Similar to a race car's "NOS" (as seen in the fast & furious movies), these roller blades will...

@Danger: Thank you very much for the suggestion. Unfortunately I am a complete rookie and have no idea how to construct such a feat. Do you have an instant messenger like AIM or skype to discuss this further? If not, could you please take a bit of time to try and explain it in more detail...

Hi everyone, I am very new to the mechanical engineering field, all I currently have is knowledge of basic physics. I am trying to construct motorized roller blades (not for practical use, just a demonstration). I need help either building a small/power motor, or after purchasing one...
