  • A home demo of why you think the tweel doesn't work isn't credible. If your ideas were so sound and usable you would be designing in a lab with a tire company, not posting poor quality videos on youtube.

  • In this regard Jane Jacob's insights as to where good technologies can originate and have originated might be helpful. I guess the concept that they have to come out of the big labs is more bureaucratic and elitist oriented than science based.

  • The problem with this design is the absence of spokes diagonally mounted between the wheel and the hub, meaning that under a severe application of torque, the hub would try to rotate inside of the wheel, stretching the rubber bands, er, spokes. The tweel has spokes arranged in such a way as to prevent this, like the spokes in a bike wheel.

    A Tweel design with tensioned spokes like yours would beat either on its own.

  • the torque will just twist the hell outta tht shit, and it would have horrible brake response

  • Wheres your ideas parasites? Until you dsign better save your useless judgement

  • While this so-called 'SuperTweel' appears to have the advantage of lighter-weight and reduced aerodynamic-drag at the upper-half of the tire, as compared to the michelinTweel. Unfortunately, unless the inventor has timely filed a Patent-application, the 1-year statute of publicly revealing one's invention would pose a problem. U.S.Pat.Office has been hyjacked by criminal jewZionist Rockefeller-mafia, and is actively trying to cheat inventors of their rights by changing to- "1st to file"..!!!

  • woof woof woof

  • i saw this design 10-15 years ago..if it was any good we would all have them by now !!!

  • How is your tweel different from Michelins?

  • i think it would be great for (very) slow off-road driving, but never for sporty road-drivers... the vehicle would certanly feel sluggish (probably the same like pneumatic tyres at 10PSI)

  • Terrible design

  • @octoron85 sink for sure lol

  • What about flood, sand, snow, off road performance?
