👍That wheelchair was neat👍

[@Tech_Planet]

For sure, hopefully, they bring to market!

[@myperspective5091]

@@Tech_Planet I’ve seen folding wheels like that for bicycles. They’ve been around for a couple years now. This is the first that I have seen it for wheelchairs though.

[@autochton]

And if it retails at $2500 or so, not wildly out of range of what wheelchairs for everyday use cost today. That's somewhat a first for 'neat prototype' wheelchairs.

[@Charlie-Oooooo]

Looks cool. Just have to make sure people don't use it like in the video cause twisting, lifting and over reaching like that guy is how you can hurt yourself :(

[@ddegn]

I agree. I've had to use a wheelchair a couple of times in my life and that thing would have been well worth $2500 (assuming it really works). I'm skeptical it will be strong enough or durable enough for normal wheelchair applications.

[@Chris-vx5kp]

5:19. That's perfect for the wheel chair bound person traveling. Once they are at their seat, they can simply stand up and put the wheel chair in a an overhead storage bin.

no matter how the results of practicality and marketing end up, these wheel technology would have their stages to shine! Good spirit of research and investigation, loving this!

[@ag135i]

Thanks for the awesome video we need to keep re inventing the wheel so that the wheels of growth and development keep on moving.

[@Tech_Planet]

Np, thanks for watching!

[@Electric-Rideables]

Wow. Very cool transforming wheels.

[@635574]

Cyclocopters could be wild, you can have 4+ rotors that can send air in any direction. This is already used for rapid menauvering of giant ships.

[@alterbart7916]

Maneuvering - yes, but it has a low efficiency and really, I mean REALLY bad scaling.

[@DaddyBear1971]

That fast moving dogesque robot is cool and frightening at the same time. 🤔😳 thanks for the video.

[@ddegn]

Thanks for another fun video. Those origami wheels look really funky. I'm tempted to try making some myself. I have a few unusual wheels in my *Fun with Spin* playlist. The videos titled *MecanumPropellerRcControl131112a* (if you watch this one, skip to the two minute mark to avoid my boring explanation) and *OmnibotSpinningStraight140301a* contain robots with unusual wheels. A really interesting aspect of omni wheels is they can actually make a robot travel faster than when using normal wheels of the same size. The robot's speed will be 1/(wheelSpeed*cos(angleOffsetFromDirectionOfTravel)). There's a common misconception that omni wheels are slower than normal wheels. Omni wheels can increase the speed of a robot. The above speed equation breaks down as the offset angle approaches 90 degrees. You of course don't get infinite speed from the omni wheel. The omni wheel will lose traction first.

[@Tech_Planet]

Nice I will check them out!

[@Darkoriax17]

I do like that wheelchair, but that Origami Wheel, if it’s sturdy enough, we could see some military vehicles using that in the near future.

[@scorpio6587]

That wheelchair blows my mind.

[@airfunmachinery8655]

Way to reinvent the wheel, awesome very good, powerful and clever machine, awesome invention.

[@Tech_Planet]

Glad you like it!

[@jasonl3445]

Great video keep it up

[@tippyandfriend]

Wheely good video, thanks.

[@ckdigitaltheqof6th210]

#6, #4 & #1 is feasble, but the whole reason why alternative wheels vs air fill tire classic is restricted, is due to traffic violations chase persue, sad truth.

[@635574]

Thats definitely not the law everywhere. Its actually difficult to make them so they're reliable and comfortable and worth the price and weight.

[@mikrikbell]

Can't beat the simplicity of a ring of rubber wrapped around a metal/alloy hoop.

[@kasu7639]

Everything is so good and funny, thank.

[@Misitheus]

The wheel chair is brilliant ....Peace!

[@lyradnoir8952]

Tachikoma almost there...

[@Tiyratania]

probably the only one to pass the testing stage would be the wheel feet dog and the wheel chair. the others just seem like research projects or student projects to make something cool

[@you_beg_my_pardon]

The project funded by darpa was being tested driven in Pittsburgh, Close to CMU.. I know my city anytime I see it from any angle

[@FurryEskimo]

Stuff like this used to end up in science fiction or steampunk, and made those informative and spectacular, but now most of them are just, fiction with neon or gears..

[@stephenedwards5254]

The robot with four legs and wheels. Wizard of Oz. The Return to Oz

[@dalea1691]

I think the flying car will be something we haven't thought of yet. No too long from now, but not in my lifetime.

[@TMHedgehog]

There's a very good reason not to give flying cars to random civilians. If your regular car breaks down, you just stop moving. A flying car breaks down? you have a two ton projectile.

[@natoynamahalnamahalka7202]

Yooooo the future is close

[@vangaralaxmithanaya]

Ok I lost it. Who invented the first wheel must be thinking what have I done 🤣🙄

[@ckdigitaltheqof6th210]

Most are way too gear featured that can easly become faulty in its own complexity. Wheels take a lot of damage and repitition ware, as its ment to. Some were not wheels at all, but a flight engine.

[@Lifelikesky]

And the crazy thing is that engineers still cant figure out how to make a wheel that wont damage itself on the surface of Mars!!!

[@Tiyratania]

well its not that. they could easily make one that does the job better but it wears out faster. trying to make a surface that grips as much as rubber with the durability of metal so it last years

[@matthoward8546]

People forget how loud it is to beat the air out of your way...still nifty.

[@positivelygrowing12321]

Still waiting on tachikomas

[@tachikomagaming2451]

same

[@machinesandthings9641]

People have been reinventing the wheel for decades. Still nothing beats a good ol air filled rubber tire. Kinda like an internal combustion engine versus an electric motor.

[@scharpmeister]

I would argue that the electric motor is much more versatile and useful then a combustion motor in most cases…not all…but most

[@devb02]

Turbo Quad looks like the vehicle Man-at-arms drives in He-man.

[@hnccox]

DARPA didn't "create the internet". It was created in CERN, Switzerland.

[@farihkobe8947]

2:00 Funniest robot in this video. 😂

[@TheFalconerNZ]

People can't drive moving on the ground without crashing when they only have to look left/right & forward/backward, imagine the chaos of adding looking up & down, these flying cars would have to be AI driven with a ton of onboard monitoring to ensure they are safe. Also not sure about energy efficiency as it takes more energy to lift and item than push it (dependant on surface friction) so flying cars would require more fuel per KM traveled, only saving would be from being able to take a direct route reducing KM's travelled but you still need a safe takeoff/landing areas.

[@AM_I_JUST_A_BLACK_SHADOW_TOO]

WELL THIS WAS SUPER COOL!!! there are sooooo many companies out there that are just trying to re-invent the wheel concept lol sure wont be to toooo long untill our car's tire will enable us to paralel park by the tires making the car move sideways. I had found so e of these weird wheels in another video a few weeks ago, sadly i forgot to save itto my library. But search enough, and you surely will find some. So iust wanted to say THANK YOU to the genius who made this amazing video. 😊 THANKS AGAIN !!!

@2:45 Return to Oz flashback.

[@pancake_crab4457]

No flying cars! One accident, several hundred feet of freefall, and your whole house is rubble.

[@juglansregia1433]

when you realize that everything we have been taught about space is wrong

[@ddegn]

What were we taught which is wrong?

[@drbelli]

while we still use stamped steel round wheels and inflatable tires that are more than 100 years old, its gonna take a while for that to change

[@Fabian-dn6hs]

they all seem a little too complex for something that gets used up really quick

[@downey2294]

i want to know the max potential thrust from a Cyclorotor I've heard things like 1.5 kg. never going to be able to carry a person

When can I ride on a quadrupedal robot

[@firlox228]

So this is where rocket league gets the wheel ideas

[@SpecterSeventy2]

With that convertible rolling track wheel, there is no way that would be practical. The point of the rolling part is to go faster than a tracked vehicle… but if the tire hit anything significant at said higher speed that a normal off-road tire would feel but be able to absorb … that concept wheel would be utterly destroyed because it has no tire volume to absorb anything. All that energy would go right into the actuators and destroy them. Lol

[@BioClone]

what about use that wheel concepts of suspension with no air, adn turn it into a flexible thread for this system? (well the part facing outside more flexible while the inner part would be more rigid, as a flexible threadmay go agains the thread reliability

[@111nikol9]

ah yes neon wheels

Idk about Goodyear's idea of a tyre that doubles as a rotor. There's already enough idiots on the road, we don't need those same idiots flying too =/

[@johnarizona3820]

^5

[@gruisman]

if your really a tech guy you would know stuff like the driving drone is something you create yourself and wont be able to buy in a store due to the many parts that can fail would be to expensive for a company to even invest in it. but if you like stuff like that you create it yourself. but what do i know...

[@elvisstopper4208]

Way to reinvent the wheel guys.Good job.

[@BioClone]

Lol Goodyear, someone must be getting high with tires air... This design must be like.. " why the fuck you made the wheels that fucking big? -Sir, that was the only way to make this belivable, thos actually are even small for such concept... +What? well we are running out of time, so make sure to tell the marketing division to make them 600% smaller for the showcase.

[@kummer45]

So REINVENTING THE WHEEL PAYS OFF? lol

[@london19657]

Considering they have created the internet? NAh.

[@pqrstzxerty1296]

Horse and cart will be back as we won't be able to afford to buy petrol or electric to run a car

Lmfao super complicating a simple design, ya I wanna start buying bushings, bearings, brackets, basic hardware, motherboards, etc for my damn tire.. nevermind the rest of the vehicle

[@curtisnewton895]

people cant drive regular cars s, so fly ones...

Please find someone else to do the commentary.

[@jamesking4736]

the last one pissed me off, its something that can help people and the starting price is 2400!!! that is a real money grubbing move. looking at the materials and stuff it shouldn't be more than like 200 bucks max and be covered by insurance

[@newfreenayshaun6651]

Push that wheelchair out the door now. Maybe stay away from auto manufacturers when looking for a mass producer, but do it now! Get consumer reports on a prototype and the reviews should sell the lux version. The Red Hot Chili Peppers say give it away now
