Triangle wheels can be comfortable! Actually, with this type of suspention almost any wheels shape would feel like normal round ones.

Imagine taking a nice quiet walk in the park and suddenly hearing what sounds like an infantry of men marching in medieval knight armors only to see this guy with his bicycle.
Ahhhh lmfao
😂😂😂
The triangle wheel is a welcome improvement over the old fashion square wheel. It eliminates one bump.
It's not quite a triangle. Look up 'Wankel Engine'. It's a curved triangle or 'trochoid shape', specifically - the 'Reuleaux triangle'. Guy basically turned his wheels into a gravity powered Mazda rotary engine. 😅
Alternative title: "This is why wheels are round".
Hahaa😂
Engineering Masterpiece. The fsct that its not a bumpy bike, the rollers cancel out the bumpyness, makes this into an actual genius masterpiece, if not very usable, but something worthy of somebodys bike collection.
Kakaka quanta baboseira
For anyone curios this shape is called a "shape of constant width". Since when the triangle sticks out more on one side, it sticks out less on the other side so they cancel out. The problem is that this is only true for the entire shape, not a radius from the center, so that's why he had to make those long rollers so the bike is effectively rolling the shapes between the rollers and the ground, thus using the full width, so it doesn't make him bob up and down
So cool that you explained. Now the rollers make sense :)
Ehh ? come again? 😂 redneck language please 😂
This comment is more telling than the whole video lol
It’s called a Reuleaux Triangle
Right, so he cheated.
A bicycle ride can't get smoother than that. 😂
Can be adventurous without going to mountains.
@@bmxplays4666 beat me to it

a ridiculous amount of effort goes into these builds. don't know how you come up with these ideas. absolutely love it.
"What were you smoking when you came up with this idea?"
"Yes"

I like how it's not about how he should, but the fact that he's able to.
Yeah sure... my butt hurts just watching this video, lol
"Oh, yeah. Oooh, ahhh, that's how it always starts. Then later there's running and screaming."
@@UrbanGuitarLegend Look at the seat, it's not bobbing up and down. This is why this is cool, it's a shape of constant diameter, so you kinda almost can use it for a wheel, it needs the rollers above the wheel since the axis moves, but diameter doesn't change, and it's more moving parts, but it's not a bumpy ride, as our naive intuition might suggest.
Reinvention of the wheels... just to make it more complicated. Mission accomplished 😂
I hadn't thought about the Reuleaux triangle in years. It's the design used for a "drill bit" to cut a square mortise hole. I remember a Scientific American discussion of it by Martin Gardner in the 1960s.
Never thought of an other use for it. Very good!
"I hadn't thought about the Reuleaux triangle in years"
- Shame on you.
Can you do long narrow rectangles? That would be impressive.
Sim, com uma só roda
You can do any shape, as long as it has an odd number of sides.
We spent so long asking if it could be done, we never stopped to ask ourselves if it should be done
Sigh. The dumb comment you knew was coming. THIS IS FOR FUN. FOR LEARNING. FOR THE CHALLENGE. How can it be so hard to understand that…?

But please elaborate, what do you do with your time that is so much better?
@@whateverbikes I ride bicycles with round wheels
The process. It's the process that yields the hidden gem.
It’s also interesting that you could replace with round wheels and have a crazy suspension system above each rack of bearings
Well.... it wouldn't really be a suspension system, would it?
hmmmmm intresting 🤔☺
@@NowaboMusicno, because it is not "suspended" it would be fixed in place
I don't think it will last for long however I love the way you made the bicycle self adjust the height. Try to let someone 3d print you rims to fit tubes.
The bike is not self-adjusting height, it's simply resting on the wheels that are constant width but not circular
My dude really out here reinventing the wheel
I wonder how long it takes to break all the laws of physics and make something that shouldn't be spinning spin?
It's the Reuleaux triangle, which can be made from the intersection of three circles, and it has constant radius, so it's functioning like a normal circle wheel

@@veissc Why does Islam attract more converts than any other religion? One major reason is Islam says: "refugees welcome" to those fleeing failing liberal social and religious institutions.
Let me explain.
Liberal secularists promote the idea that their norms for regulating marriage, family, and religion are ideal.
Nevertheless, statistical data indicates that wherever a society is governed by liberal secular norms, people stop marrying, having children, and practicing religion.
Put differently, the liberal is fundamentally a hypocrite - despite what he or she might say, no liberal person is actually interested in being part of a liberal marriage, a liberal family, or a liberal religion.
Matters are different when it comes to Islam.
Muslims also promote the idea that their norms for regulating marriage, family, and religion are ideal.
Moreover, statistical data indicates that wherever a society is governed by Islamic norms, it boosts marriage, birth rate, and religious practice.
Put differently, the Muslim is actually interested in being part of a Muslim marriage, a Muslim family, and the Muslim religion.
The current era is an era of refugees fleeing from liberalism. Liberal marriage, family, and religion have collapsed.
As a result, refugees from liberal societies seek marriage partners abroad, and if they practice any type of religion - it is a non-liberal version whose centers are located abroad. Islam is the most obvious choice for them.
@@veissc That's very interesting I didn't know that thanks
Take the same design in those wheels and you can drill a square hole (seriously)... so anything's possible.
Friend of ours patented a window hinge back in the 70's. Just 2 bits of plastic, one in the frame, one in the surround (ok 4, counting the other side hinge).
Pull open the window at the bottom and the top drops and hinges slightly into the frame (so water drips over the top, not in behind as can happen with standard hinges.
To look at the hinge bits, both pieces have a pin that sticks out, and tracks that indent in... no moving parts, just 2 solid interacting sides.
Something that always gets me... Most things that are "New" were designed 100yr or more ago... they just didn't have the material or ability to actually build the design.
The Britten V1000 used front forks designed 100 years before, but back then the material available was so heavy the forks would have steered the bike uncontrollably...
I believe Britten actually used the design... "because he could"... (They weren't really any better than current fork design).
(You may not be interested but Britten built a superbike on a farm that on its 1st race, took on factory supported race Ducati's... and not only beat them.... at one point sat beside them while they were full throttle in a sweeper.... and started pulling wheelies along side... (There is a brilliant Documentary on it... John Britten, such a sad loss to the world).

I can't decide if it's the editing or the finished product that are the best in your videos, but as always, they are both great!
Thought the same. It's hypnotizing
The editing really annoys me, the sound of everything even more so.
@@andrewl9191 very interesting. Can you tell us more? We're intrigued
Na prática só serve pra mostrar que a roda redonda é melhor😂
The perfect way to make what is actually very easy difficult.
This guy really hates normal bikes. Also how the bearings worked really surprised me. Great job.
What's the purpose of the rollers at the top of each "wheel"?
I believe it’s to give support to the wheel so as to not let it go too high.
The wheel shapes have the same diameter at every angle, so they will roll very smoothly, although the centre will move. The rollers are to hold the wheels in place where the frame that attaches to the bearings moves. If the wheels were on a rigid frame, the bike would bounce all over the place.
Great design and engineering. Great editing. Great video. 👏👏👏
Wonder if there is a way to smooth out the ride or at least make the bumps more "wavy" like parabolas.
This is smooth though, don't you see the frame is always level? These wheels are constant diameter/width (just like an ordinary wheel), and the frame with the bearing batteries are resting on top of them. What varies is the radius, why the pivoting fork/tail is moving
Because of how a Reuleaux triangle works the wheels pivot point has to be able to move which ads complexity and friction. This solution also results in the bike having no suspension.
A great example of an idea that works in theory but isn’t really practical due to its lack in efficiency.
It's perfectly overengineered and beautifully executed.
No suspension isn't really a big deal, gravel bikes exist. This gives city folk the feel of riding on gravel without actually having to leave town and find the real thing.
In short, quite overly retarded. *several joints later* "Let's scale up the triangular rotor from a Rotary engine and use it as bicycle wheels, it will be like, umm, interstellar."
nice comment😇😇😇
I had questions about how that would provide a smooth ride right until the end. Bravo!
It honeslty feels like it's probably kind of difficult to pedal. The wheel is literally rubbing against a bunch of rollers with each 1/3 revolution. I wonder how it would look for feel to go "fast."
He gave thumbs up but you can sense that he just wanted to get off it as quickly as possible.

Amazing build my friend! Such exquisite building. My jaw dropped the whole video :0
You should have explanied the math besides that wheel design that is a one special where the distance between up and down of the wheel or any diameter is always the same that's why you can use them in a bike with no problem in your seat
I wonder if you saw the video... There is no maths or whatever involved in this. He maintains the same level of the wheel at the point of contact with the ground by using articulate axis and a bar at the top. If he had not done that and used a fixed axis, like he shows at the beginning, there would be a up and down movement.
@@baptistek1917 Well, but his level over ground doesn't change because of math. The wheel center is jumping, but the highest point is always on the same level, and it is because of the shape - Reuleaux triangle.
It looks like a real boneshaker!

I'm thinking a bit of padding under the tires would help with comfort. Maybe make the wheels a bit smaller and use an actual inner tube. After all, the tube is flexible so it can be shaped into a Reuleaux triangle. Maybe. It might put too much stress on the tube, so maybe use those non-inflating inner tubes instead.
Maybe try "Reuleaux pentagons", then those roller assemblies don't have to be as long.
WAIT...I've got a great idea! Why not make the wheels ROUND?!

Can this ride up to 50 Kmph and/or cornering without any issue?
Watch in slow motion the position of the front wheel is different from the rear wheel, thanks to the flexible switches and the upper mats, that is, the front wheel at a certain moment turns faster and so one wheel compensates the other! 🇧🇷

Literally reinventing the wheel
Rất tuyệt vời xe đạp đặc biệt xin cảm ơn đã chia sẻ với khán giả
Ah, the mathematics.
The important thing about a wheel is not that it's a circle, but that it has the same width in any direction. Each of the three sides of the "triangle" just has to be an arc of a circle centered on the opposite vertex.
Haha, I think this video clearly demonstrates that the property is *not* the only important thing about a wheel. You can't seriously watch this in action and think it's working just as well as a circular wheel.
It's a very interesting video, don't get me wrong, but you can't just watch it with your eyes closed!
If the wheel is sandwiched between two flat surfaces, yes. If the vehicle weight is transferred through the hubs, and the ground is flat, you still need a constant radius, i.e. circular wheels.
Or of course belts (which have circular rollers) arranged in squares, just to pick a random example.
Very practical 💭 I would probably be doing a world tour on one of them 😅 and wondering which parts will be affected on the bicycle or me body😂.
Poul Anderson used this idea in the short story, ‘The Three Cornered Wheel’
Que agonia, parece que a qualquer momento ela vai desmontar kkkkkk😂
The invention of the wheel is considered one of the most important achievements in human history. Wheels have revolutionized transportation and made it easier to move heavy loads. However, what if the wheel was not round? What if it was a different shape, like a triangle? Triangle wheels may seem like an odd idea, but they have been proposed as a potential solution to some transportation challenges.
1. What are triangle wheels?
Triangle wheels are wheels that are shaped like a triangle instead of a circle. They have three sides and three points, which make them look like a triangle. The idea behind triangle wheels is that they could potentially provide better traction and stability than traditional circular wheels.
2. How do triangle wheels work?
Triangle wheels work by using their three sides to provide more contact with the ground than a traditional circular wheel. The increased contact area could potentially provide better traction and stability in certain situations, such as on uneven terrain or in slippery conditions.
3. What are the benefits of triangle wheels?
One potential benefit of triangle wheels is that they could provide better traction and stability in certain situations. For example, they may be useful for off-road vehicles that need to navigate rough terrain. Triangle wheels could also potentially provide better braking and acceleration performance.
4. What are the drawbacks of triangle wheels?
One of the main drawbacks of triangle wheels is that they may not be as efficient as circular wheels. The triangular shape may cause more friction and resistance, which could result in increased energy consumption. Additionally, trianglewheels may be more difficult to manufacture and maintain compared to traditional circular wheels.
5. Are triangle wheels a new idea?
Triangle wheels are not a new idea, and variations of triangular-shaped wheels have been proposed and experimented with in the past. For example, the Triskate is a type of rollerblade that uses three oval-shaped wheels instead of traditional circular wheels.
6. What are some potential applications for triangle wheels?
Triangle wheels may have potential applications in a variety of fields, including off-road vehicles, military vehicles, and robotics. They may also be useful in situations where traditional circular wheels cannot provide sufficient traction or stability, such as in icy or slippery conditions.
7. What are some challenges to implementing triangle wheels?
One of the main challenges to implementing triangle wheels is developing a manufacturing process that is efficient and cost-effective. Additionally, testing and evaluating the performance of triangle wheels may require specialized equipment and facilities.
8. Are there any examples of triangle wheels being used in practice?
While triangle wheels are not currently widely used in practice, there have been some examples of triangular-shaped wheels being used in specific applications. For example, the Ripsaw EV2, a high-performance military vehicle, uses triangular-shaped track wheels for improved off-road performance.
9. What are some potential future developments for triangle wheels?
As technology continues to advance, it is possible that triangle wheels could become more practical and cost-effective to manufacture. Additionally, further research and development may lead to improved designs that offer even better performanceand efficiency.
10. Conclusion:
Triangle wheels may seem like an odd idea, but they have the potential to provide better traction and stability in certain situations. While they are not currently widely used in practice, there have been some examples of triangular-shaped wheels being used in specific applications. However, implementing triangle wheels poses several challenges, such as developing a manufacturing process that is efficient and cost-effective and testing and evaluating their performance. As technology continues to advance, it is possible that triangle wheels could become more practical and cost-effective to manufacture, and further research and development may lead to improved designs that offer even better performance and efficiency. Overall, while the idea of triangle wheels may seem unconventional, it is an interesting concept that could have potential applications in various fields.
