Ryders crash -motor?

[zigmeister]

It's evident that clearly most of the forum have not one clue about physics, or the ability to comprehend most of it. The Earth is likely flat to most on here.

But, let the conspiracies continue based of entirely ignorance and non-scientific means to keep your World afloat in the pool of water it must be in.

Re: Re:

We haven't really reached the technological point where we can jam a motor and battery into a standard sized hub that looks like every other hub out there. The rear wheel motors that are available have huge batteries and are usually single speed wheels. It's a fun conspiracy theory, though.

The hub was never, ever the place to put a hidden motor. The argument that a hub motor wouldn't work is naive at best...

Italian newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport has described a motor hidden in the seat tube and bottom bracket as ‘old doping’ suggesting that special wheels, able to produce 20-60 watts via electromagnetics and costing 200,000 Euro, are the most sophisticated form of mechanical doping currently in use in cycling

This seems it could explain Ryder's case.

Wait, wasn't this concept suggested already? In the very Clinic?
Oh yeah, a year-and-a-half ago, here:

That's an easy one, yes there is.
'All' electric rotational motors have a 'stator' and a 'rotor'.

I give you 'Frame' and 'Wheel'.
Put magnets in the rim and a series of coils in the wheel cutout of the frame, fire away

Or swap places, have the coils, batteries and electronics in the wheel. Very inconspicuous...

Summary: If you don't master the engineering and the ingenuity required for this level of cheating, don't argue what can and can't be done.

We are discussing this over at the other thread, e.g.

You could build a "rim" drive motor, but not with components and frame that look like the normal ones on the WT bike. The problem is the distance between stays and rim, much too far for the concept to work. See post linked above.

Not sure the best place to quote, but as OldCrank alludes, Cervelo may be the best bike. Their S[3-5] / P[3-5] bike rear chainstays bow in significantly inside the wheel track, and the Zipp wheels bulge out.

You can do a search on "zipp won't fit inside cervelo rear stays" for hints of this issue.
