That happened to me a few years back, a friend just had his clutch fail in his car. I started thinking how to make a better way to transfer power from motor to wheels.

Turns out I just reinvented the fluid coupling used in automatic transmissions.....needless to say my idea wasn't that impressive after that.

Haha, you ran into the mechanically inclined adult version!

[-] WoodScientist@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

It's called the adult version because it involves fluids.

Oh god damn it. Here, lol. 🥇

Even your user name sounds like a youtuber I'd watch about my adult tinker toys (think carpentry).

Before electric skateboards were a thing, and electric motors and batteries became better and better, i thought I had a great idea for an electric skateboard. I cut some holes into my longboard, attached an upside down truck on top and an electric motor, made a lot of mistakes and then someone launched an electric skateboard that was pretty slick and i just saw that and thought: that's way better.
