Bicycle Rim

Do you believe you can make a floating box out of magnets, solder wire, a bicycle rim, and a box?
i have seen this and it works. no, i do not have video, or pictures sadly.
there is no need for the power source the spinning of the rim is the source of power. the magnets help propel it. the box is what floats.
Sure.
The box could contain a permanent magnet, say with the north pole toward the bottom. The weight in the box would be placed to make the center of gravity very near the bottom ... hard to turn it over.
The center of the bicycle rim would have an generator-electro-magnet, say north pole facing up. Rotating the rim would drive the elproduce a field that would levitate the box. Smaller magnets could be placed around the rim of the wheel, with a belt of other magnets adjacent, driven by your own power, which would rotate the rim. You might prefer to drive the belt by a hamster run-cage

Mounting a Tubular Tire on a Bicycle Rim Intoduction Part 1 of 2
About how much does it cost to fix a bent bicycle rim?
The bike is a 200 dollar bike, a women's diamondback outlook. The back rim is a bent, how much will it cost to fix this?
and IF it cannot be repaired, how much will it cost to replace it?
From a performance standpoint, I would purchase a new rim, or better yet, a local bike shop might have a ream rim in their junk pile. Keep this thought in mind. As you travel the highways and trails, you always see clunkers thrown in creeks and such. I have taken many a clunker home and salvaged rims and such. Having 6 kids and an equal amount of neighborhood kids who needed a bike, this was a cheap and neat way of providing an extra set of wheels for my clunker bikes, and the neighborhood kids.






















































I wanted to say thanks for taking the time to document the fixes that worked for you. I kept assuming I was having battery issues and never assumed that it could have been the grip.
I removed the plate and ended up using bicycle rim tape (not to much adhesive on it) and so far so good.
My battery level actually shows full, where as prior to the fix the exact same batteries showed as depleted. Amazing.
Thanks again for taking the time!
Team Lickety Split Report:
After Nando had run 1km to fetch our punch cards, we set off up the hill on our mountain bikes, all shiny new and matching in our clean and bright nifty new shirts with special reflective branding, determined to win the race. After about 200 meters Williams’s chain snapped, dropping us to last place. Only 15 minutes of dextrous ingenuity by Con with a bread knife and sticky tape saw us roar off again into the night, determined to catch up with the less experienced. Lessons learnt: Carry spares for 8 and 9 speed chains. About 4km downhill to a muddy stream under a road culvert, Nando bravely stepped up to his middle in s(t)inking mud, and had to be hauled out by brute force. Lessons learnt: Read Dr Foster from Gloucester. 23:30 and now second last because another team had got lost, we roared off back up the hill past the starting camp ground, burning our excess calories with enthusiasm. Con was setting a nifty pace, determined to edge past any laggards or lazy. Suddenly Nando stopped, checked the 103 pockets of his race gear 3 times, emptied the contents of his backpack on the road, said words I claim never to have heard before, and announced he must have dropped the punch card when we left transition 1, 4km back. At this point Con mumbled that he hated AR and we cycled back down the hill to retrieve the lost card…..thanks Gerrard and Nicky for waiting patiently for us! Lessons learnt: Don’t litter. As we set off up the hill again William called us back with a flat tyre. William changed the flat by using an old punctured tyre from his previous race. Lessons learnt: Do the bleeding obvious …William. Another tyre change, two gas cartridges and 25 minutes and we were on our way… again. It was about this time that Con became grumpy. Up past the camp ground and onto endless undulating farm roads. Downhill… and uphill. The race instructions warn “Danger in the dark” what would that be, Crocodiles… no, just a very rocky dirt road that you shouldn’t ride at speed. No problem, its two in the morning, I’m just experimenting with sleeping and cycling at the same time. Close eyes just enough to see Con’s taillight. He’s keeping ahead of the pack, navigating with no rest stops, up a farm track to transition. Change into hiking shoes, eat salami and ham buns, and then off along the river, collecting checkpoints. Next check point is up the hill, above the treeline, but the trees are everywhere. Bush babies look at us, there big baby eyes reflecting from our high beams. Eventually it seems if all the teams are combing the rocky mountain ridge for that obscure checkpoint, fanned out in search mode, not even a rock rabbit could hide. Eventually, after what could be two hours of searching the checkpoint is sighted and we rush to get it, thinking we’re back in the race. Then it’s downhill to the camp where a rock pool awaits us, a 4:30 AM jump from 6 meter cliffs into the water. It’s madness in the dark, stripping down to only a lifejacket, helmet, and cycling shorts…thanks Mandy and Nico for the long wait and inspiring us to go for it!….though it was really scary!. Then, before the shivering starts its back on with the kit, and soon the hiking warms us up. A checkpoint in the caravan park, a fruitless search through the dense undergrowth for a path back, a Jack Russel companion with endless energy keeping us company. We called him Boetie2. We can’t find a way through so we backtrack, over the top of the rocky mountain as dawn breaks, and light spreads its familiarity. Cons grumpiness eases with realization it was fun anyway, even if we are not going to win. Back to the bikes, a cycle to the MTB track, a swim in the dam to dive down a rope tied to a barrel to see what its anchor is, a bicycle rim, very appropriate.
Nando and Con need to be back by midday, we can’t do the 4 hour hike to the big dam and the swim. We decide to short course and do some cycling back to the start caravan park. As soon as we stop tiredness overtakes us. It was good. Driving home a real challenge to then catch up on a well deserved sleep!
Thanks Hardy and the team for putting on such a memorable event. With Mandy’s photos as evidence…thanks!.. we will never forget this awesome AR experience!
CHEERS!…from Mike (the reporter), Nando (the CP runner and report editor), Con (the grumpy navigator), William (captain and 2nd navigator)
How did you attach the wire to the rims? I have one now but the screws I used make it hard for the belt to turn the drum. and what is your motor rpm and pulley wheel sizes? I'm trying to figure how to slow mine down my motor is 3450rpm
How hard/easy is it to take the clip off, it seems like they couldmake it smaller by having people remove the clip. They should makea quick release pin for it too, like on a bicycle rim, so peoplecould put it back on if they wanted it to be clippable again.
