How to Create a 90-Degree Turning Infield Carrier for Motorcycles

In summary, the conversation discussed how to create a joint for a cylinder shaft that can rotate 90 degrees. The application is for an infield carrier that connects to a motorcycle and is filled with palm oil. The goal is for the carrier to be able to tip off using gravity without the user having to get off the motorcycle. Suggestions were given to use a hooke coupling and offset drive to allow for the joint to follow the carrier's rhythm and twist 90 degrees.

Using an infield carrier helps to maintain a safe and playable playing surface for baseball or softball games. It also helps to prevent injuries by removing any hazards or irregularities in the infield. Additionally, it can improve the overall appearance of the field.

4. How often should an infield carrier be used?

The frequency of infield carrier use depends on the condition of the field and the level of play. Generally, it is recommended to use the infield carrier before and after each game or practice, as well as periodically throughout the season to maintain the infield surface.

5. Are there different types of infield carriers?

Yes, there are various types of infield carriers available on the market. Some may have different attachments for specific tasks such as scarifying or adding moisture to the infield surface. It is important to choose the right type of infield carrier based on the needs of the field and the level of play.
