Very nice Tytus. You are doing some great work with all your different designs. The amazing thing is you arent even using software meant for this task, yet it still looks very good!

Well you can do 3D modelling in AutoCAD obviously but you want to use something more like Solidworks, maybe Catia (spelling on the last one, but I've used it like once). I've never used those though. AutoCAD seems more geared for 2D drawings in my limited experience. Now back to AutoCAD HW...... :)
quick question, tytus:
how is the wheel assembly being turned?
i wasn't able to spot any sprockets, gears, or pulleys right off, so i'm a li'l curious.

Nice. I never thought of the potential uses of those types of bearings.

do you have any idea how ahrd it is to draw a sprocket?
a standard 52t bike sprocket wold bolt into the 5 holes in the 7" diemeter plate twards the top of the module
If you're using AutoCAD, drawing a sprocket isn't all that hard. Draw one tooth and use an array (polar) to create the rest of the sprocket.
