solopaddler Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 That's amazing, the mode of propulsion is ingenius, way ahead of it's time. Surprised the concept never caught on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassAsin Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 it certainly is an excellent concept and well ahed of its time but i think it would have caught on had the use of tractors not gone out the window. or jsut not enough people could afford? none the less very very clever.

Sinker Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 That's amazing, the mode of propulsion is ingenius, way ahead of it's time. Surprised the concept never caught on. My thoughts exactly!! Pretty slick rig for sure!! Sinker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bernie Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 A more modern version could work well on thin ice and water for rescue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spiel Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 A more modern version could work well on thin ice and water for rescue. So when do you start construction Bernie? It's a pretty sound looking concept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigugli Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 A machine well ahead of it's time. Great concept, but came out in 1926, just prior to the depression, when few would have money to spend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bernie Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 So when do you start construction Bernie? It's a pretty sound looking concept. Let me see......Maybe Wayne could make up the pontoons. I will get the power train together. Thinking a 1200 4 stroke Rotax would be the ticket there. Belt drive to reduce the weight and simplify. Build it to keep center of gravity low to reduce risk of rollover. Ya it could work. Question the sideways slide thing though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dano Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 That is pretty cool. Felt sorry for the horse though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abraxus Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 Actually that isnt that far fetched. The Russians were working on similar technology in the 40's and 50's. Several prototypes were made and then the idea was disgarded. Having said that, check out the following links for other wild snowmobile ideas that others have created. http://www.darkroastedblend.com/2007/03/cu...nowmobiles.html http://www.darkroastedblend.com/2007/12/un...nowmobiles.html Some are cool, others are just nuts!
