I think that road wheel is powered if it is used without tracks. There was a clutch system of some sort that switch the flow of power. When tracks were used, the right upper sprocket drove the tracks.. This was genious for it's era, really.
The model shown is without tracks. Like in Girls Und Panzer, the tank got tracked and the tracks fell off. So this is how it would steer. If the tracks were still on then normal tank steering applies.
@@firenzarfrenzy4985 exactly This thing could work both ways. With or without tracks. With tracks, sprocket is driving, and when without tracks, it is the wheel.. actually, both are driving at the same time, acording to this simulation... sprocket is needed for tracks nonetheless
Great quality animation, but it was difficult to see exactly how everything works because the camera kept moving around a bunch and didn't stop for long enough to watch everything work together. It was especially difficult to see what the front suspension was doing because the video didn't let you see it clearly.
If by "done right" you mean completely redesign so it's not a nightmare to repair in the field, then yes. Make no mistake, this was WAY ahead of it's time but the US Army wasn't entirely wrong for sticking with the reliable bogie and torsion bar suspension.
J Walter Christie was a visionary that was laughed at by the US Army and was forced to sell his prototype and blueprints to the Soviets, he died as he lived; bitter and alone
I'd like to see a BT or two in Physics Tank Maker. Especially the BT-7 and BT-42.
Note: do not underestimate.
Never underestimate the Christie Suspension! >:D
I'm glad I saw this comment
*laughs in BT-42*
GIRLS & PANZER brought me here. I AM NOT disappointed in the least!
Me too

that a girls und panzer reference?
@@panda_person0660 yes, yes it is
I got it, now it's time to build an anphibious veichle that can go even without tracks
Momo chan
where do i can download it?
This is eye opening thank you
*all hail the BT series*
this suspension system was actually developed by an American engineer
@@patryknowicki4536 he said all hail the BT series
There is something that trigger me
HOW, but why does the front wheel turn ??? Isn't this supposed to detrack the whole system ?
Christie suspension was convertible, it could run without tracks. Note that the fourth roadwheel is powered.
@@dv2915 Ah cool !

why are the comments on the type 97 disabled?????
big impact on my besiege
whahaha same reason im here lmao

Too unbelievable.
*gas gas gas intensify*
is this the bt 5 ?
BT-2, BT-5, BT-7, and all following BT tanks(except the A-20) has this kind of Christie Suspension.
@@superspaceman34 A-20 used Christie as well IIRC
@@DrRussian I know the A-20 has the Christie type. I was referring to the motorized and steering suspension parts.
If done right wouldn’t this be the best type of suspension for a light tank nowadays?

can you share application?
where is source code?
simulate a finger getting stuck in those gears
i'm stack with suspention:'(
Just say no wheel facking colliders?
