Finally, be the star of commuter traffic! Make all the kids in the neighbourhood happy! Or just jealous! Engage in inspiring discussions with chemtrail believers! With the wind-driven Bicycle Bubble Machine drawing a dense stream of soap bubbles behind you, you too can bring peace and happiness back to the streets!
The Bicycle Bubble Machine (www.thingiverse.com/thing:950452) is a bubble machine attached to the luggage rack of your bike. I actually found bicycle-mounted bubble machines on the net, but they all run on batteries, neglecting the fact that on our bikes we have a source of energy which is much more sustainable and fun: relative wind. The Bicycle Bubble Machine only uses the relative wind created by riding your bicycle: a wind wheel will turn a wheel with bubble wands, which are blown directly by the relative wind. It works surprisingly well at a comfortable range of speeds, and with the funny, jet-engine look the machines have, when one is attached to every side of your bike, it's an eyecatcher. Well, at least it gave me a lot of strange looks when using it on the street.
Song: I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles, Elliott Shaw & Charles Hart, 1919
Ultimate bank robbery get away machine, the cops will be too busy chasing the bubbles to catch you.
AHAHA
Or the kids will be in between robber and cops LOL
Thank you! Please never stop.
Just right now I was in need of a nice comment like this. Indeed, I shouldn't stop -- thank you, I'm glad you like it :)
thanks for the model! =)
You need a license plate that says Rainbow Phartz
public hero award.
What's better than watching you ride around making bubbles? Watching people's reaction to the bubbles. Most people are going to be far more pleased watching the little girls chase you than by watching you ride miles through the city. We all would love to see you redo this video, focusing on people's reactions.
12centuries Yes, I understand this, I think you're right and I actually thought about it, too. This is why I didn't: - the video was made because I participated in an engineering contest, so it was supposed to show the invention - if I'd directly film the people's reactions themselves, by german law I would have to get an approval by every one of them -- I know many people ignore this, but as I'm working as a city court judge in my hometown, I just can't afford to ignore this; the children seen chasing me are mine and my sister's - the video was taken in a rush on a sunday morning because the contest deadline closed the same day - I'm just not pro enough to do a real take on the task you mention, I was glad when I finished this in time
Jost Schenck In that case, you did a great job! I hope you won the contest.
Thank you! And yes, I made 2nd prize. Thanks a lot for your constructive feedback :)
Jost Schenck Wie schaut es denn aus wenn Sie einen Platz bzw. einen öffentlichen Ort filmen und nicht direkt die Reaktion der Leute?
Ais baer Hinsichtlich des öffentlichen Ortes ist es bislang kein Problem, obwohl gegenwärtig geplantes EU-Recht diesbezüglich in der Zukunft Probleme machen könnte. Soweit Personen nicht direkt gefilmt sind, sondern lediglich als sogenanntes "Beiwerk" in den Blick geraten, obwohl die Kamera erkennbar etwas ganz anderes filmt und darauf den Schwerpunkt liegt, tritt das Recht am eigenen Bild regelmäßig zurück, so dass keine Einwilligung eingeholt werden muss. Deshalb haben wir die Kamera nicht direkt auf die Reaktionen der Leute gehalten.
Luring the children never seemed so fun HAHAHA
supper !!!
Love this!
Hi. you made me smile while watching the video , good job sr. :) with the bubble 3000 .lol AWESOME!!!! idea
Carlos Rosales If it made you smile, it has done its job :) Thank you very much!
Great Idea!! I will defiantly try to remix this!
Corey Mooney Thank you! I'm really interested in any remix -- while it works well, it certainly can be made better as I'm still pretty much a beginner at this ... Looking forward to your ideas :)
This should be called "The instant smiles production machine"
Where do you hide all those children!
the pied piper would approve of this
Great stuff. Dance.
What a great tool for chester
As a 50yr old mucho* man who has lived just to do typical adrenalin junkie things all the time... Just found my calling Thank you *Self assessed 😁
So long ago that I built this, but feedback like yours still make me happy :) Thank you very much!
Hahahaha! This is GREAT!
Is this going on in Hamelin?
I'm off to thingiverse to find the file for my printer! I want one!
Gary Glitter should print one of these
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰😍😍😍😍😍😍😍🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩😄😄😄😄😄☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️😌😌😌😌 oh and I love the song but what is that but you did a great job how did you make this bubble machines bicycle
Awesome invention! Immediately printed it. By the way... ist das Mülheim a.d.R.? :)
FafsUnicornmania Thank you very much! And yes -- it's Mülheim a.d. Ruhr. Not really like New York or Paris, I admit, but dear home to me :) How did you know?
I recognized the Wasserbahnhof. My family and I used to take walks there, when I was a kid.
I love it I love bubble bycical machines I love it thank you so much I love it I will subscribe and a like your the best but a what’s that song
Thank you, glad you like it! The song is a pop song from 1918 "I'm forever blowing bubbles".
How long do you get bubbles for?
rsokors Depends on your speed. As it makes a lot of bubbles right now, for me it hardly lasts for more than 10 minutes. One guy who built it changed my original plans to have only half the bubble wands, so it makes not as many bubbles and will last longer (you find that changes on thingiverse, section "remixes").
Thanks!
Omg I'm gonna do this but put the turbine behind the exhaust on my motorcycle!!
Are you realy going to do that what if cars can't see the road
+Brandon Z lmao what
+Viktor Foggo lolwut
I want to buy this!?!?! Where can I find it?
Unfortunately this is not something you can buy - I published the parts for 3d printing, and you can build it yourself if you want. See the description for links to the instructions, everything's freely available, but it'll be work :)
Jost schenck hello
But a how did you make that tell me please
Sorry for the late answer: Look at the link to instructables in the description, it's all published there!
Hello are you taking to me
JOST, WHERE CAN I BUT ONE???!?!!!!@#!@#!@#@#!@
Unfortunately, I don't sell them. I published the instructions for building your own, see description.
