I have many posts related to the production of the AT's and have been successful in mapping everything to an IRL shoe size 9.5 mens US. I am currently in the strength of materials class in college and have an electrical engineer collaborator figuring out the power output and internals of the AT's and i am focusing on gathering the materials for the prototypes including the plastics used for the structure, bearings, and several other materials used for the wheels and electronics. We have not been able to resolve the Battery issue which i find we might have to outsource for batteries that can supply an incredible amount of electricity and being able to fit the batteries on the shoe somehow, as well as making it all water resistant.

Unfortunately, that could only work if you had a secondary form of power and that would be considered a perpetual machine, which is a big no no in the laws of physics. We could have it where the brakes serve as a form of charging through an electromagnetic generator. looking closer, the bearings would have to be made of ceramic, you can use skate bearings, they are impact resistant and ceramics are an amazing material to use for bearings. If the wheels are three inches in diameter there should be enough space to create everything and scaling the skate bearings to the picture, the wheels would be at most 4-5 inches which is an incredible amount of space. I have prototype models ready for 3D Printing to see how large the items we need IRL and to have a proper understanding as to what we are missing. I would like to know if anyone has any suggestion for an excellent plastic that could be used for the structural component of the AT's so the outside of it, or if anyone knows the name of the plastic used for ice skates, that is a very structurally sound plastic, very sturdy and is mold-able (3D printable) for the AT's, The Plastic that can be used for the wheels can be the same as skateboard/long board wheels. Anything i missed?

I have been working on the Aesthetics and making them look true to life, as well as leaving space for all the components, so if anyone wants to work with me in creating the individual parts, that'd be fantastic! the only parts that we would need a fairly large research power for are the tiny motors and battery source! The batteries are becoming less of an issue due to so many phones coming out with longer batteries in smaller phones, so one day we might not even need to do any of that because looking at the actual space in the air trecks, it is perfect!! the cpu chip can be programmed and held in any part in the front or back of the shoe and using flat wires for computers and soldering them to different components, we can save ample space!! Shock absorbers that tiny can be manufactured very easily from 9260. 9260 has hardly any Chromium and about 2% Silicon, which is what car springs are made from, and those can again be directed to steel manufacturers for very cheap in bulk with a hydraulic core to the suspension much like dune buggy springs which would have to be in the inside of the shoe with a steel rod elongating it to the wheels (I don't know if i explained that correctly) Besides the suspension, the batteries are the biggest thing in the shoe, and the pressure plate can be fitted right inside the inner part of the shoe!! Anything I missed?

But wouldn't that be impossible, like those drinking bird contraptions that cant go on forever?

well if we want to have actual fun with these things, it should go for at least 3-4 hrs of continuous usage.. i was looking at motors from RC cars made to pull 17 lbs, and since i will be soon going to go to college, i will be studying electrical engineering to produce a custom motor, because so far, i've only seen motors not made for this purpose.. Furthermore, dem suspensions doe,

So, i know that this hasn't really been active for a few months now, but i would also like to input since im a 17 yr old who also would like to create this, and i've been looking for collaborators to produce the AT's, i've also researched how to get financial support from skullcandy to fund this project if it ever launches... i've read most of the forum and it seems that the main problem is the motor and the battery power, why dont we have more than one motor, to separate the total power into like four, two per wheel? can that not happen? what about the batteries? so far our longest lasting batteries last for 5 hours (at least the ones ive found, and thhose are for laptops...) where will we fit the brakes? the sides? but then how will we secure them to the plastic inside and keep it stable enough to support 200lbs?
