HoverHandle Gen 0

This crude sheet metal assemblage was inspired by an afternoon of bending pieces of metal and plastic at Al’s home. It was drawn up by Ed and fabricated by Dave. The idea was that each long link would allow the Hoverboard foot platforms the freedom to rotate independently of each other, which is necessary to propel and steer the devices.

HoverHandle Gen 1

This novel design was the first implementation of a new invention that would come to be known as a ‘Kinematic Drive Coupling’. It satisfied all the motion constraints to rotate the Hoverboard segments without binding.

With much excitement, parts were 3D printed from sintered aluminum, and installed and tested on Andrew’s Swagway Hoverboard. The results were impressive.

HoverHandle Gen 2

For the Gen_2 build, we decided to try printing the clamp parts in glass-filled nylon. The Differential Drive Coupler was left in aluminum due to the high stresses on the drive ears.
