Hi all, new on here so thanks in advance for your responce's
I am an avid cyclist and competant engineer, i dislike oil and gas so much i do not own a car. I cycle everywhere.
I am tired of wanting to go long distances without assistance or a high top speed.
I want to build a cycle with the main acceleration and main maintained top speed controlled by magnetic force.
Not a hybrid bike using household electricity thus using my power thus coming from the same consumable fossil fuels.
does anyone out there have any links or point me in the right direction to where i can find information about what magnets to use, are there already cylindrical self maintaining rotating systems out there?
i have many designs floating around from the simplist being magnets on the frame of the bike being fixed to linear bearings being able to move away from magnets fixed on the wheel.
I am affraid that my simple designs will not give me a high top speed. I am thinking 100km. also i need good acceleration also, to enable me to have the same acceleration as any car on the road in a city environment and then obviously be able to travel at the speed limit.
the bike will look as much as it can like your average road bike, two wheels, gears, double disc brakes or better, changing gears i think will still be needed for that initail push and perhaps for overtaking. i am whoever open to all ideas and thoughts.
i hope you get what I am trying to achieve here and once again thank you for your input and replies.
