How To Design and Build a Cheap Car Rotisserie

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

When building an automobile rotisserie, it is important to realize the magnitude of the project. Not only the size and material are important, but the physics of your design will keep you and your car safe. This Video outlines the things you need to know about building a car rotisserie, choosing the mounting points on the car, and the forces involved in the system. Do not be afraid to build one yourself, but know the process and understand what you are doing before taking on the challenge.
Here at Rad Potential we strive to bring creative solutions to any complex problem in the world. This video marks the beginning of a more design oriented style of video, giving a window into the brain of Mister Rad and what inspires the design solutions at the Rad Ranch!

    I really like this! I have been working on a Chevelle. Thinking about a Tip over jig to finish the underside, Welding and Stripping, etc. With out help. I would be in a dangerous position. I did price out some metal, the cost came out more then manufactured rotisserie

    I thought about doing it in steel, but ran into the same issue, wood was the best budget option. the rx7 chassis is super light so I wasn't too worried about it being strong enough, a chevelle body, even with the full front clip off, and no interior is much heavier, let me know what you come up with!

    Good going. Nice post production. As i have been approaching the building of a rotisserie, I have been trying to come up with some kind of process for Guestimating the "through line" or the imaginary line through the car on which it would rotate in balance. Its not easy on atypical asymmetrically shaped unibody cars (63 Rambler American 2 door wagon). At the same time I am pondering how to get my car from rotisserie to trailer and back as my blasting and epoxy source is 100 miles away. I dont think a 100 mile ride with a rotisserie mounted car on a trailer is a grand idea,. Seeing the simplicity of your rig, though did give me an idea. Thanks so much for sharing

    Yea I built my rotisserie to not be mobile. That adds a whole new level of design to the system. It is somewhat trial and error as well if you don't build adjustment into the system.

  • @RADPotential

    3 жыл бұрын

    My thoughts were if the center connection is simply linear, its not going to do a ton unless its angle braced at the ends to the uprights. In my medium of wood. A 2x2 or 4x4 steel bar will be stronger if the system is steel, I just used the large base of the rear to stabilize it in the horizontal direction

    Doesn't it need to be higher than half the width? Technically it needs to be mounted higher than the square root of half the width plus half of the height to clear the ground.

    I would say in most cases the body wider than it is tall. if you have a more vertical window area, the longest distance from the center of rotation will be to the outside corner of the roof. on the rx7 the widows tilt inward enough that the longest distance from the center of rotation is at the horizontal width of the car.

  • @LTVoyager

    Yes, he should have added the other dimension of the rectangle and then measured from the center of rotation to one of the corner’s and used the Pythagorean formula to calculate the height. It appears he got lucky and the extra 6” he added was enough. Now he wishes he had actually paid attention in math class. 😂
