Introducing the all new ERW© P2 using Carbon fiber and Kevlar fiber components reducing the weight to that of a standard inflated tire and increasing the strength of this innovation.

This video shows the sidewall being sucked in by removing air from the ERW and creating a Vacuum charged wheel with amazing results!

Customize the ride and performance using the negative pressure.

Kevlar fiber membrane pulls (no Bolts!) are a fraction of the weight of bolts and many times stronger.

Carbon fiber hoops are strong and light and reduce un-sprung weight further.

Sidewalls have been added to keep debris out of the mix and also to increase the rigidity of the unit.

  • very cool video. The bounce frightens me a bit especially for cornering with obstacles like small rocks, rumble strips etc. but obviously on a very cool track with the design.

  • @chemicalsweet13 !/12" tall sidewall was as low as we could go. The bouncy hoop has been re engineered patent #3 filings #4 and #5.and is tunable by its own internal dynamic tension, "coiled carbon rods", membrane tension, vacuum boost or both. These early tests really encouraged us, can you imagine if Goodyear was to help bring our ERW to the market with all their "skills".

  • @EnergyReturnWheel I truly do hope that you will garner some support from Goodyear or a like company to bring this to market. Alas, in the innovation stifling environment we have now that might be too much to ask for. Whenever one brings a game changer to the table like what you've done they are also bringing an "agreement changer" and large corporations who make grand sums of money from the status quo tend to dislike "agreement changers". What you have here is the future.

  • @chemicalsweet13 Thank you! Its a very long journey so to be defended/believed in means alot.

  • @EnergyReturnWheel put me down as your first customer!  :)

  • @chemicalsweet13 Thanks! Looks like bicycles will be first. Videos coming soon.

  • @EnergyReturnWheel When you use quotation marks around a word, like "expert", it indicates a direct quote, I have never claimed to be an "expert" in any field. I am, however, a keen student of several disciplines of science, particularly physics and engineering. Just because I don't agree with your deliberately cryptic answers doesn't mean I don't understand them. You need to understand the difference between belittling and being sceptical. I am the latter but with a finely tuned bullshitometer.

  • @KZWolf What data? We are just running over a stone. We did not care if the stone was broken or not. We are showing some cushion and a little too much bounce for ERW.

  • You CANNOT use this data it is INCORRECT! To properly test something you need Control Group (Standart Tire) and Test Group (ERW) plus same surroundings (car, suspencion, STONE and etc). To do something legimetly it has to be LEGIT, you can not present a test that is totally different from the other. You have nothig to compare here.

  • @KOvalOfficeA ERW accended without moving the pieces. We are just showing the first 18Hg." vacuum charged ERW hitting something the same height as the 1.5" sidewall height. We were unable to show traction layer prior to patent filings.

  • the second stone is broken in half...
