@@theoteddy9665 normal tires contact surface is anywhere from a thin line to a thick rectangle, depending on inflation. A ball tire making contact at a single point wouldn't offer enough grip but I'm curious why you see a circle of any size as being more detrimental than a rectangle with the same surface area... Depending on the design of the ball tires, they could still dial in the amount of surface area needed to acheive the right balance of grip and rolling resistance. Theoretically, depending on the manufacturing requirements, it may be sealed well enough to maintain roughly the same circular contact area throughout the life of the tire hence would need to be engineered specific to the vehicle. The main thing to worry about would be tread squirm and the consistency of tread effectiveness if the tire's rotation has fully spherical freedom.
Actually, the Michelin "Uptis" tires where originally called "Tweel". The creator Steve Cron came up with the idea in the early 90's and worked for Michelin as one of their engineers. They had many designs over the years, and I believe the original idea had major issues with speed and balancing issues, and the compound used between the tread, and the wheel itself had issues in cornering, and high speeds. They had a lot of videos out there with the tires, mostly for tractors and vehicles that don't have a need to go fast, or corner sharp with vehicle weight being a factor. It's not a bad idea, they just need to perfect the compound for each vehicle, and reduce the price where it'll be a contender to our standard pneumatic tires.
"that's as strong as spider's silk, the strongest material in nature next to Nolan's chest hair" I love how they keep roasting each other on their videos.
You’ve probably already seen one but a mecanum wheel is pretty weird as well but they are easier to create than those spherical tires and you don’t need any futuristic magnet configurations to control them.
I see people continue to take extra time and energy to write and say 'dad joke' than saying and writing what it is, a pun. One syllable and five characters shorter.
I can confirm, shape memory alloys are in fact magic. I'm studying to be a materials engineer and I literally just learned about shape memory alloys today in class. That exact graph from 11:11 was one that my professor used lol
I just learned about them recently to!! SO COOL! Do you know of any good online resources to learn material engineering? It's something my little brother is super interested in.
Seeing the spherical tire I realize I had the exact same idea as a kid. Use magnets so it doesn't have to rely on a solid link, as a sphere can't have one without interrupting the surface
at the city I work for we use tires just like the uptis ones on some of our equipment like our skid steer, huge lifesaver on a job site when you've got all kinds of nails and screws lying around
Na dawg that is wrong. ARPANET stands for Advanced research project agency network and was used for communications between the United States security and some universities. It is like a predecessor to the Internet. And ik this cause I legit had to study this in school
@@ethanleno5259 Also imagine how much wasted energy goes into just making your car float. Battery dies and your car collapses? Awesome. If electromagnets weren't used then it will be next to impossible to make it stable. Plus the gain of any extra longevity is probably destroyed by the insane cost to manufacture.
I've been following Donut for 2 years now, and this channel has gotten me through some hard times. Just these videos alone are helping me get through a time in my life where my dad has covid, and I couldn't be more thankful for you people down at Donut. I've purchased some mo powa babeh merch, but the only thing i can say to show my greatfulness to this channel is I love y'all, genuinely. That means the editors and the people doing the vids.
The way James said "I weesh I could reform back ter my 'riginal shape when I get all tweested!" made me think of my childhood mentor who loved to let his inner Texan Appalachian come out like that. No wonder I connect with you so well, James!
It's really funny on why he says that. The way everything is going we just might runout of air. LOL if that was the case we would have already ran out of air by now. Me uh hello plants give off air trees create air
@@masonlaturnus8747 yeha because of extra co2 in the air the northen hemisphere has actually had an explosion of tree growth who you guessed it are making oxygen
Adrs Americans use ANY measure except the metric ones. I remember them measuring weight in terms of Nolan in a video! So you don't get to complain James!
When the DARPA track wheels came up you should have also mentioned that people in the snow and sand will also fit tracks to their off-road vehicles, yes they make tracks that you can buy which you can attach to your wheel wells that'll turn your truck into an off-road track Beast
The Michelin airless tires are something they've been advertising for 20 years already. They better start producing them, I think they're the only ones on this list that I can't wait to test.

BOMBON187 he measured weight in Nolans in a recent video! 🤣
Well we use Jesus Christ to measure time, why not Malone lol
And he uses the Disneyland monorail to refer to shapes of cars
That's because before there was Post Malone, there was all the time before him which is called Pre Malone.
