Science Project

This sounds kind of dumb, but I'm doing a science project on unicycling
and any helpful information would be good.

Kinda Vague, but what exactly are you doing it on?

Are you just writing up info about unicycling, then you only have to
search this site and the rest of the net.

If your comparing unicycles, then unicycle.com etc

Yea you might need to explain your ideas a bit, I know there are some
people who are good at science here so... Explain and you will get
more ideas shot at you.

One really good idea for a HS science project on unicycling might be to
investigate frictional forces between the tire and the floor. What
movements in unicycling depend on friction, which ones don't. Which
direction is the frictional force directed for different tricks? How
could that knowledge help riders pick the right riding surface and
tire combination for certain tricks.

Just an idea!

How about the spinning wheel and centrifugal force?

How about different metals used for frames and the comparsion between
strength and weight. Or, look into the different types of Hubs (
splined, cauterless, and cautered), compare them and state the various
pros and cons as they may be.

just so you know jeff there is no such thing as centrifugal
force...only centripetal force, just so you dont use wrong info if you
decide to use this in your project. good luck!

Centrifugal force is a force that is the same magnitude as the
centripetal force, but in the opposite direction.

I for one believe in the all-mighty Centrifugal Force. It is a great
being. All you need is faith.


On a more real note, I'm not sure that there are too many
unicycle-specific projects that you could create. I think that so far
this is a pretty decent idea:

I don't think there are many opportunities for gyroscopic/*Centrifugal*
Forces to be exparimented on a unicycle, as they have no applications.
Furthermore, the way cranks play with the rotation patterns of a
spinning unicycle wheel would through stuff off quite a bit.

In Centrifugal Force we trust!

use physics !!!! and get osme ryan atkins vids ! or put soething about
bio on that thing on world's guiness record where they say that kris
holm is more then human for his crazy balance.. ***not guines record
ripleys belive it or not..
