Rube Goldberg Motorized Bicycle Contest

Re: Rube Goldberg MB Contest

I built this thing a while back. Worked well on flat land but hit a bump and it would go crazy. Maybe it will inspire someones Rube Goldberg.

Max, I swear that would work awesome with an over sized and under inflated tire. Should enter it. For this, doesn't have to be efficient or even good, snork

Now that's very Rube. Cool, but insane looking. But still...cool.

BTT!
Friction drive bell.
A lever pulls a cable.That cable brinngs the mechanism in contact with the wheel. The wheel spins a wheel connected to a cable. That cable goes to some gears that turn some other gears that turn another cable. That cable has a weight on the end of it that spins aroud sounding a bell.

Gotta love Rube Goldberg - love the gizmo'ness of his idea's. Good idea Dan...
 
Re: Rube Goldberg MB Contest

Indian Larry was really into the gizmo'ness of motorcycles and anything that moved. I really like the idea of exposing every moving part to the extent possible. I've even seen some really nice throttle cable and break set-ups that expose all the working parts...
 
Re: Rube Goldberg MB Contest

Thanks Epic!

Me too. Really think the internal workings are art. The function being visible is just cool.

There are some really incredible entries. Big time looking forward to see some of them.

I didn't know who "Indian Larry" was, so looked him up. Wow, some great work.
