guys, im pulling out all stops here and asking the greatest, most imaginative people on the face of the earth one question that i need to know... obviously with a little feed back and comedy on the way:p
I want to build a mechanical bull!
i do work for a charity organisation which take underprivlegded kids out on outings and events... basically show them a good time.
i have been talking to a couple of the kids and we want to build a mechanical bull. As they are not cheepto buy...like $30,000 from a company in QLD.
my origional design basically involves a 44gal drum, a heavy spring (i know a guy from a suspension shop who i can get throw outs for free, currently have a couple of compounds to play with off a F250), and to moove it all about... wait for it... a washing machine motor. you know... back and forth motion.
sounds cool hu! only problem in the way is i dont think that the washing machine motor would be able to shift 80+ kilos with any force...
HELP... i want to make this a reality for the guys.
Any help would be much apreciated.
Thanks guys, you all rock
Nate
