Prototype This - Mike's Tool Kit

[Erithlon]

If cars would be like that, parking your car would be so much easier...

[AFKAnnouncements]

Why can't cars be like that forklift?

[gadgetmanlol]

the forklift wheels are not made for normal roads so they would shred

[2mboom]

@AFKAnnouncements easy way out for parallel parking XD

[dadswizz]

train wheels have been made from pneumatic steel wheels, yes i mean they are hollow and have a mix of gas's in the cavity. .believe it or not. they stretch up to 10mm in hot conditions..train wheels get very hot ! !

[dudumcof]

it's the same principle as omniwheels

[JellonaOO7]

ok correct me if im wrong but according to the laws of physics there is no way to make aluminum strechable (not sure how to spell it) so that it is still a metal and keeps the same statistics (weight, str etc...)? pls reply if u know how it can be done

[Muscleduck]

It could be a synthetic material (some kind of rubber maybe) which has aluminium parts in it.

(like >50V% Al in the rubber/plastic).

[robotdeath]

See modulus of elasticity. also almost all comercially availbale aluminum is an alloy at this point.

[BoyOfTheEnders]

The wheels are Omnidirectonal. Simply up, there are a series of wheels, built on a specific frame, thus letting the vehicle move any way.

There are no aluminum parts, stretching.

[smittyguitarplyr]

hes referring to stretchable aluminium at 2:53

edible glitter--sprinkles? xD

[rejoycement]

but sprinkles dont reflect enough :(

[VCat2006]

Indian candy is often coated with (polluted) silver, making them reflective.

[dontcallmedert]

mike north is my 2nd cousin... i got to ride the forklift at his building, and i tried the edible glitter =D also, inventables have foam magnets, that were bendy, squishy, foamy, and magnetic. it was so fun!

[TheExpertDude]

Well done to you... i guess.

[meettheguns44]

that is cool

[RoboGeek99]

Does anyone know what those wheels are called...they are very similar to omni wheel wheels...only better

[fabianz03]

hahahaha lol

[wiredcoder]

What the fork...

[MEGAwolfy]

I WANT THAT FORK LIFT

[aznturtle1]

i thought it was drifting at first lets make racing forklifts

[jibberwox]

ITS A FUCKING FORKLIFT!!!!

desu

[creamersrealm]

Cant wait to see the full episode.

[coondogtheman1234]

i cant wait for this show, discovery really has it lined up this wednesday with mythbusters time warp and prototype this cant wait to see it

[jnfviet]

SICK

[Zoopedia]

All cars need this!

[tunedin2]

Air Trax Sidewinder, wow this is very cool !

something like this will revolutionize forklifts if it hasn't already. i wouldn't know as this is the first one i have ever seen.

traslucent wood , that would have been good in the `70's lol.

[Redthehedgehog11]

cool

[EvilMonkeytime]

It's Genius!

[listentothewall]

thats awesome

[killerboi199]

the usb battery thing is cool. How bout flip it and make a usb drive the size of a double A battery. not as awsome, but still cool

[coondogtheman1234]

yeah the usb battery looks cool I could charge it with my ipod charger, I charge my PSP with my ipod charger and both use USB power

[NitroNerdPaul]

cool

[ANCESTERSMEMORIES]

nice fork lift

asume design work

whats the weight those tires can take

same or less

[dire67]

Nice!!! Where can I get this software?

[riceman1230]

I use Alibre Design, which is just as good but much more affordable. No, I'm not spamming.

[dire67]

Thanks, Ill look it up.

[toonash55]

wow that is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­ooooooooooooooo cool
