SteamPunk Mono Wheel
It's Finished! This is my favorite build so far!
Bob's Mono Wheel
Iv'e packed a lot of stuff into a little wheel so lets break it down.
This wheel uses a Steam Engine and Boiler to turn a Generator (at top of wheel) that produces Electricity. That current is stored in a large battery (the engine piece at rear of inner wheel).
Using the Throttle, (twist grip on steering wheel) current is sent to the large motor under the seat, turning the spring loaded drive wheels against the outer tire.
Braking is done with an internal drum in the drive wheels. Turning is possible by leaning and a small amount of Gyroscopic force from the wheel.
Guns are fired from the left twist grip. Why have guns, you ask? because Bob likes guns.
Power from the battery is used to light off the fire (trim up) before closing the Firebox Door (Vtol up).
Controls
Trim = Fire.
VTOL = Fire Box Door.
AG1 = Electrical Power.
AG2 = Kickstand.
AG3 = Lights.
Brakes, Guns Throttle and Yaw control the rest.
Features
(FT) = Funky Trees
working Compass, Fuel, and Speedometer gauges (FT).
Fuel indicator light on fuel filler tube (FT).
Steam Engine and Flywheel are controllable, with throttle (FT).

great!
awesome
@Type2volkswagen ok thanks
@LoveSomePlanes The mod is purely for looks and isn't necessary.
I will be posting an updated version soon.
Does it really require the smoke trails mod? or is it just so it looks nicer? but it does look cool
I don't remember creating this...hMmMmMMmMmMmMmMmmmmmMMMm
@Mumpsy thanks, I changed the tags.....
@Type2volkswagen They have new tags, one of which is steampunk.
Remind me the one in Man In Black.
