How Do Tanks Turn?! 🛡️🔧🌀

The reason tanks have so many wheels is not just for show! The large wheels at the bottom distribute the massive weight of the tank and support the tracks. The tension wheel at the front maintains the tension of the tracks, while the small support rollers at the top prevent the tracks from sagging. But the real hero is the drive sprocket at the back! These sprockets transfer the engine power to the tracks, getting the tank moving. If these sprockets break or the tracks snap, the tank can’t move at all!

But how do these massive machines turn? The secret is in differential steering! If one track is slowed down or turned in reverse, the tank can change direction. In fact, if one track moves forward while the other goes backward, the tank can even spin in place! Which country do you think makes the best tank?
