    Hey all,

    Just curious if there is any interest in starting a discussion on this type of sim.

    slip rings, all in one battery and PSU under the sim, 240 or 415v motors, LOTS OF MONEY TO BUILD.....etc.

    The holding torque of that motor would have to be 2 x weight of inner rig + person, surely?

    Say conservative 100kg x 2 = 200kg?

    Wouldn't work for motor racing, I don't think, no dynamic translation movement, all radial.

    Very cool looking and I'd build one in a heart beat but I think the motors, as Dave says, would cost a bomb.

    The duty cycle of the motor looks like ~80% too.

    not just the motors, the whole damn thing expensive.
    A friend of mine wanted a rough quote for one, I suggested upwards of $10k.
    Once he picked himself and came out of his coma, he said thanks and wandered off.

    The comment was actually in reply to the OP, and tongue in cheek ;) As we both live in Michigan. But if I could afford it Dave, I would come over to your house as well 8)

    I witnessed the build of this device , I can confirm they spent nearly 20k in production and the feeling is not that great when upside down you need to hold yourself in tight as in gravity is a bitch.
    But a very nice concept. This is running a modified version of xsim3 that they had to pay big dollars to sir to change for them.
