Inside view visualizing the mechanism

Dear supporters,

thank you so much for supporting my idea with all your clicks and comments! Only 10 days left and 41 clicks to go, I thought it would be nice to give you an update - a look inside, so you can get an impression of the built-in mechanics.

So, let's go into detail: In the middle section is the battery box (upper grey part) and the electric motor located (lower blue bricks). Via racks and bars, the torque is transferred to the upper cardan shaft. As I mentioned in the main post, the cardan shaft is used to transfer the torque to the worm gear and have the ability to bend our vehicle, so it can drive around curves.

Inside the heading section, the torque is converted by the worm gear and the rack into a straight movement. The magnet, which is connected tightly to the rack, is moved back- and forward, depending on the rotating direction.

I hope you like it and I am looking forward to more support and comments :-) If you like my concept, help me reach the next stage by inviting others to support this idea and feel free to share it.

Have fun and keep buidling ;-)
