Reinventing the Wheel Qingdao, China

[dragonhungcf]

minute physics copier lol

[g2laller]

how can he patent this bike they are around since very long time. i'm not kidding.

[SillyEddyPhotography]

@g2laller China - Protect the Chinese peoples' 'creative moments'; disregard previous inventions.

[panyidavid]

Asians.

[Cloud98]

That's stupid. The wheel isn't broken, no need to fix it.

[j15781]

@Cloud98 Its just a neat way to apply geometric properties...its not meant to be a practical improvement.

[naruto0o0o0o0]

its not a good invention

[Vancouverjason1]

I'm going to reinvent toilet paper using recycled glass and shards of metal.

[DanioOoX]

@Vancouverjason1 I hope people in your area will consider it smooth after a few tries.

[zxamike]

@Vancouverjason1 THANK GOD JUST WHAT I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR!

[stefl1504]

troll science became reality!!! RUUUUN!!!

[LinushzRazer]

Minute Physics? Anyone?

[Damanganerd]

@LinushzRazer Yup Minute Physics

[koreankid28]

Hwheel.

[pranav3019]

thumbs up if minute physics brought you here !

[Brickedbeat]

i just don't understand why

[tk075]

@Brickedbeat why not?

[Fenrirmolf]

she cant say the "e" in inventer and sense, are there regions where people speak like that, does she have a speech defect or does she try to fake an english accent? im not making fun or anything, just asking

[mrmurphymil]

fail, all your energy is going into moving parts up and down instead of making you go forward

[rch456789]

The more you ride.. it becomes quite smooth... it's fun.. lol

[thefoxdude]

i tought the tumbnail was kevjumbas dad XD

[juricbenjamin23]

i thought the circular wheel worked perfect?

[TheEckoEcho]

DAMN even Old people in china are smart

[redmercyredmercy]

useless and dumb

[mike3pio]

no like it, those are not wheels but shapes who cares if the ride on a bike is smooth, a wheel will always be round. but i think its cool that you made a bike that you can ride with no wheels, thats cool but to say you reinvented the wheel would be ridiculous. thats like reinventing the "line", not possible. good try though but any body can but shapes on a bike as "wheels" and ride, all you did was make it smooth....

[Fluffezze]

Why?

[PsychedelicSouljam29]

awesome!!!

[erichillermanngamer]

Was I the only one who wondered how his pencil was triangular for a second?

[TempestKiro]

@erichillermanngamer Easy grip pencil.

[erichillermanngamer]

@TempestKiro Yeah after thinking about it I got it, but i imagined a pencil bent into a triangular shape at first rofl

[SNESIvan]

Awesome!

[DrAlbino]

whats the point , its more inefficient than a regular wheel. (as stated in the video)

[FiraxelD]

interesting is how a shape besides a circle have a constant diameter?? I'm currently puzzled.. Plz help

[mcm0009]

@FiraxelD one side of the wheel is bulged where the other side is flat, so as the wheel turns, the length from top to bottom is constant, how ever the radius is not constant, hence the pivoting joints to keep the wheels apart from the frame.

[FTSakura]

@FiraxelD if the center and the diameter stay constant, you get a circle. But if the center is constantly changing and the diameter still stays the same, you get other shapes.

[jennxl33]

moving backwards?

[kydrice]

He didn't "reinvent the wheel" He built the prototype that was thrown out by our early ancestors because it was dumb. Its only a step up from the square wheel. Next thing you know the chinese are going to start claiming it's "health benefits".

[0andrewsmith0]

@kydrice The phrase 'reinvent the wheel' is a common adage that was clearly meant in this report as a joke. You don't actually think the reported seriously believe he literally reinvented and improved upon the most common of transportational methods? Also, this was never an 'early prototype' as the circular wheel would first have to have been made before this fixed diameter and static height 'wheel' was made. Nice try to seem smart/funny on YouTube though.

[kydrice]

@0andrewsmith0 did u really think i didnt know what that phrase meant? wow

[0andrewsmith0]

@kydrice Yes, because your stupid comment proved otherwise.

[kydrice]

@0andrewsmith0 You go ahead and take the internetz seriously. Like this video.

[0andrewsmith0]

@kydrice Oh, I see what you did there. Covering up the fact that your first comment was stupid and unfunny by trying to comically use the word 'internetz'. Good job. Please continue.

[kydrice]

@0andrewsmith0 Yea you caught me good job. Where would you like me to send your gold star sticker? You're like the only person on the entire web to take stupid videos seriously. Go back posting why nyancat, a cat made of a poptart is impossible.

[watajob]

Aaaaand, this accomplishes ... what?

[juggaloryan3]

Interesting, if nothing else.

[StamfordLegend]

China has been working to get past its innovation barriers.... I think this is a reversion, not a step in the right direction.

[ilovebarsnewjersey]

Minute Physics.

[tycoonpratik]

Ok this is just working backwards, stupid.

[NumaNuma187]

The man who made something relatively easy unnecessarily harder.

[AirStryke71]

@NumaNuma187 Isn't that half the reason engineering was made for?

(and wasn't the other half for inventing things that could later be made harder?)

[Midnightse7en]

The shape of things to come Chinese engineering. New degree BCE 4 years plus 1 year internship working in chinese square wheel sweat shop.

[wanderingbodhisattva]

never was the phrase "stupid cool" ever more appropriate

[tringuyen552911]

What's the real use for this type of wheel? plus it looks like you'd need a non-constant force to operate it.

[Vinnception]

My grandmas on fire!

[PaulFitzZaland]

Triangular 'wheels' have been around for a long, long time. We used to make 'Reuleaux polygons' in grade-school science class. I even remember making a mouse-trap-powered roadster with triangular wheels for a science fair. This guy's not the first to make a bicycle with non-circular wheels. But hey, well done on the execution.

[777sable]

If you upon arrival at the curb get to the corner of that "wheel" would not be so fun

[greymattersblog]

He invented these shapes? I'm sure Franz Reuleaux (1829-1905) will be surprised to hear it.

[manudrum2]

That is absolutely useless.

[caeseroct0]

Doesn't seem that practical but could still be fun to ride.

[deadz74]

only good on flat surface

[del690]

effing stupid

[TheReelNeel]

cool. geometry for the win

[venturemaxify]

this is amazing.

[reno081]

retard

[tommiandgello]

Ужас

[MrLovedance]

а нафига нужен такой
