"You'll never believe how these wheels work"
Me: *Believes it*
...well well well

[adamjoyner]

I wonder how well they would perform once dirt and debris gets caught up into the many crevasses and don't allow the wires to freely move within the wheel?

Proverb: "You can't reinvent the wheel!"
Engineer: "Challenge accepted."

2 seconds before it goes from wheelchairs to military purposes

Would love to see this used to decrease breaking distance and switch seamlessly into different terrain on different vehicles! Always had this idea just with different mechanisms! Glad to see it and i hope it becomes mass produced!

[TheAurelianProject]

It’s all fun and games until the chair runs out of battery and just falls over with you in it

[markvwood]

Keep working. No one has mass produced any of these yet.

Im in a electric wheelchair have been all my life since I was 4-month-old. I get stuck all the time this type of wheel would work send some for testing if you need a tester.

The Japanese! What would we do without them.
All of you, every single one, take a bow.
With admiration and respect from the UK.

[joyousjae]

That's really cool. Especially with what's going on in the US right now.

[Awakenbeing]

I am amazed, waiting this prototype to be available for general mass use.

[av]

I do believe how those wheels work, actually.

[paulfrost]

All very clever, however. Not to sure if my spine could handle being catapulted up the stairs like that, let alone my mind🤯

[Bumsrush]

Seems like simply getting into that chair would be a significant challenge lol

[Anonymous-jmmg]

That's awesome. For more tension adjustment you could have it twist instead of in / out tensioner.

[rolo]

I hope these are cheap and help many people.

[rorythompson]

It faceplants the user when they miss a payment 😂

[p_y_ano]

wow the definition of genius for whoever reivented a wheels

[granttoye]

Spokes adjustable on the fly! Nice reinvention lol
