video Self repairing amphibious electrical Car concept

[thegoodhen 698]

Hey there. :3 I wanted to design an electromobile that can be folded in a suitcase and carried, that repairs itself when it crashes, can be controlled over radio, can float on water (and can be also controlled there-fully amphibious), and also can change its design. I also wanted it to be super cheap. So... I designed it. :3

 

I forgot about the water readiness-however, there is enough space in the suitcase for inflatable mattress as well as 2 super small electrical turbines.

              This video also doesn't show the bodywork. It will not be composed out of solid metal, but instead of silicone rubber-its elasticity makes any damage virtually impossible under regular conditions. It's small size in folded state will allow multiple bodyworks to be put in the suitcase, consequentially allowing paintjob change matter of a minute. Yay for mane 6 car? :3 :3

 

The red bars you see on the video are made out of nitinol memory alloy. Once they get bent, all it takes is heat (achievable by short-circuiting battery over them) and they retain their original shape.

Turning is handled by a servo, simplifying mechanical construction, furthermore enabling radio control.

Back wheels have each one motor, eliminating need for hardware differential, furthermore decreasing weight and simplifying mechanics.

 

 

Edit: Sorry about the size ratio issue... It works okay both in vlc and WMP, but once I upload it to yt, it bugs out... Weird. :/

Edit2: fixed it. :3
