  • how is that supose to turn?

  • saw this years ago ,wheres the prototype?!

  • looks like a pretty snowmobile with nametag that says tank

  • it turns by shifting your body wait and causing more pressure to be on one side of the tread than the other

  • @muklan1 Too bad that doesnt work. Its been proven even on motorcycles which have a lot more rounded tires that without some steering it doesnt turn.

  • You turn by leaning onto the rounded edges of the track

  • OMG! You invented a snowmachine!

  • Kettenkrad. The Nazi's had those.

  • how is it classified in the tank group you get shot so easily

  • that thing would be awful, good day.

  • i remember seeing this years ago, im suprised nobody has done a proof of concept prototype yet? even a model ...surely someone at a university or engineering company can

  • @Popscivideo  very cool design! maybe you should think about making a prototype from spare parts.

  • Looks like a snowmobile and a motorcycle crossover, I kinda live it too! xD

  • mast hai

  • well if it explodes like that im certainly not getting it lol

  • OMFG ITS THE PANZERCYCLE!!!!

  • this looks nothing like the panzercycle from mercenaries 2 :P.

  • @vourok wtf are you talking about, its a fucking bike with tracks. show me anything else that looks closer to the panzercycle.

  • @TheDarkFalcon You didn't notice the little tongue face at the end of my comment? Hmm...

  • i'm riding a track,hooes

  • I'm guessing it uses track warping to turn, some light tracked vehicles use this. still not going to have a good turning circle though, and forget doughnuts! ;)

  • where's the 50 cal?

  • thats not a tank thats just a bike with a track, because if tracks make a tank then farmers drive tanks all the time

  • that shit looks sick

  • Does it have a mini swing arm for steering or just tilt COOL .

  • maybe a cool looking drag bike?  Completely impractical.

  • ok, lets get it built. see what happens, if you elect McCafferty for pres for 2024 we can build it, lets build it before the vote////

  • how does it turn?

  • yeap that what i am asking how will you turn this thing,,,:S

  • haha me too, only think i can think of is if you look at the track segments it suggests maybe the whole thing might flex laterally, think would still be massive turning circles and seems surely prone to disaster. ....Or maybe you just give it a hell of a lots of lean ! :) looks an exciting concept anyway

  • @aws2013 thia is just the prototype, the actual model will probably have a track composite of two separate, thin ones

  • @elmehman two seperate tracks? that'd be awful to drive, the steering would have to be miniscule to change lanes... and a sudden jolt of power to 1 track would result in your spinning at high speed... resulting in being thrown off the bike and most likely die. Why would anyone want that?

  • @aws2013 Classified information

  • cool i what one

  • wait... where do you get in?

  • Cool 3d design.

  • i need to get ahold of the graphic designer for this tank video.

  • nice i was thinking about making this few das ago.

  • its been done

  • Why it not on consumer market? WAAAH!

  • the track is segmented on two axis. so it can be "bent" side to side. look at the front of the design

  • how does it turn? theres no second track or steering wheel

  • lean

  • Natural Selection.

  • you could lean?

  • but leaning woulndt be able to turn fast enough thats why motor bikes have turnable wheels

  • If it had the best features of a tank, then where's my cannon?

    But epic design though, it'd be so badass to ride on that.

  • Now that does look cool!

  • TETSUOOOOOO!!!

  • thats frucking awesome, if they were able to be produced for under $25,000 AUD i think it would sell!

  • U can turn a bike by just tilting it to the side. I guess thats what u do with this thing too

  • reminds me of the panzercycle in mercenaries 2

  • ok thats kool and all but how dose it turn? in normal tanks one tack gos forword and the other gos backwords to turn but this has only one tack so how will it turn?

  • I'm guessing it uses track warping, like the British ww2 Universal carrier. It's going to have a really sucky turning circle if it does though.

  • it could but like you sed even with that the turning will be a pain

  • If you mount 2 mini guns on there, it would look like the Panzercycle on Mercenaries 2.

  • Hey guys look its a tank that doesn't protect the driver. at all.

    Why then, is it a tank?

  • tell me about it! it's not a tank, it's a tracked motorcycle... and they have a name for that... it's called a snowmobile.

  • they have a little dirtbike style snomobile 50cc i think with one ski on the front at glens sports center in iowa lol

  • Its the ****SNOW-MO-CYCLE****

  • one side on the tread angles witch alows the bike or what ever you wana call it to lean over i been doing some reading on this and a few have already been made

  • i think its a model of the panzercycle from mercs2

  • thats exactly wat i was thinkin

  • snowmobile with bad handling;)

  • Nice a tank! The guy should be outside... Why a tank? If the driver or biker has no protection. Pointless.

  • i dont think its a military purpouse tank i think he should chance the name

  • its called an hyanide originally made to be a perfect all terain(snow dirt street) designed by a german dude with the idea of it to be used by park rangers.

  • very nice. but what defines a tank is not it's caterpillar wheels. the protective armuour is the vehicle's essence.

  • lol reminds me of those things from starwars where they attack the wookie homeworld

  • looks like a snowmobile to me...

  • Wonder how it turns...

    I'd love to have one.

  • @JimaZero the whole track bends. Think about snakes or caterpillars

  • @JimaZero the engineering allows the entire bike to bend in order to turn sharply

  • u turn by drifting

  • u turn by drifting lol

  • YAH! How does it steer?

  • How does it steer?

  • steering direction with the handlebars and pedal pressure with the feet

  • same as flintstones cartoon about 2 feet on the street while drive

  • yeah, but if it's only got one tread, it seems like it'd only go straight, unless you leaned it over real far.

  • make a real one already, wtf lets see if this bitch works and how well it works !#@$

  • Don't let OCC see this..lol

  • don't smoke more joints

  • cool. what's that made in ? maya?
