While people are commenting that $30 in materials is not very realistic, I find that's nothing compared to stating that 2 people can build this in 4 hours. I don't think it could be built in that amount of time if you used a large cnc router and had all the G-code already prepared. Looks to me like a week of work. I love the animations. Also the chain drive going around the bicycle rim is downright silly, you would have to weld gear teeth on the rim which would be extremely difficult.
- Daniel_Connell 6y agoI can confirm that I can make the three vane version myself from scratch in 3.5 hours. 90 minutes with pre-cut sheets. And is usually $20-30 all up including the alternator. The chain drive concept is indeed no longer what I'm using. It kinda worked, but not as well as I would have liked so now it's either a automotive alternator belt or direct drive to a Smartdrive unit or equivalent.
