You forgot the most important thig of all.
You can now make a constant drifting with no effort and no tire wear.
+kar ras u wouldnt be drifting
ekoms108 kinda.
Like T-180 cars in speed racer?
exactly and this is amazing. i think there is much more: Crash Avoidance, Crashenergyconsumption, Offroad Skills, Positioning, Magnetical Modulation.
@@joeflow21 instead replacing tires you have to replace balls
These would be awesome for racing cars, I always thought the spherical concept made more sense as a wheel.
I, Robot I, Robot I, Robot I, Robot I, Robot I, Robot! There, you just read the complete comments section. You're welcome.
+MorbidMaximus I came here to scream this in the comment section, I found you.
+MorbidMaximus Yeah, was expecting it the moment i saw an article.
+MorbidMaximus ya !! but in I robot cars dont have tires
Mukul shah And what do they have?
T-1000 i was wrong .. i thought they hovered above the ground
I'm surprised I didn't see "Reinventing the wheel" anywhere in this video.
+P4INKiller No issued patent claims...the exact opposite of ERW.
"Guys, it's not like we are reinventing the wheel here."
- "Well, actually we are doing exactly that, Sir."
Goodyear is borrowing from Britek. We have disclosed to them. Our curved Hoops and position of pulls...We have already mentioned magnetic fields. That's business in the 21st Century...
Britek 74 issued Wheel patent claims...50% over 65 mph. Think the Industry wants to pay a 4% royalty on $200+ Billion market? Do the math...
So basically IRobot tires?
+amazingman63 whenever we do make personal spaceships, if one comes out looking like an x-wing, will you say "so basically Star Wars?". there's a bit more to it.
+walkin dude when reality stops mimicking science fiction then we will stop comparing it to the movies. till then everything that looks exactly like a movie/book will be known as that movie's/book's version of whatever.
+amazingman63 That's only the first time YOU heard of it. The idea has been toyed with for a long time but was never possible before quantum trapping and computers became cheap and small enough.
Why so many replies i was only pointing out similarities.
exactly what I was thinking
So will these balls be inflated with air? Will they be solid? What will turn the wheels? Will the magnets attract nails on the road?
+ArcadeGames: Noone will use nails in 29th century ;)
+Nikola Dechev Nobody will use cars in the 29th century. We will fly around in hot air balloons.
+ArcadeGames In 29th century there will probably be no human
+ArcadeGames synths. Synths everywhere.
+ArcadeGames Looks like they will be a spherical ball with magnets with an air cushion and then rubber on the outside
Magnetic levitation, air suspension, seamless lateral movement. This would revolutionize how we experience cars!
it is actually time that engineers build this in real live!
This is EXACTLY as will smiths car in Irobot. YESS
+GranVlog Not really, the car in I, Robot didn't have tires, it was a levitating car.
+Marco Sánchez no he's correct nearly all the vehicles in that film used spherical wheels save for his motorcycle.
+Marco Sánchez you probably thought about Minority Report
You could litterally just spin in circles in the same location unill you puke. Next level donuts! That would come in handy, in the zombie apocalyspe.
Or the robot uprising apparently.
until eventually traction ends or you do
*NOW WE'RE TALKING INNOVATION !!!*
It's about bloody time - cars have generally been the same for all these years.
Time to start thinking ( and doing ) out of the box.
yep exactly :)
+ToggleHD Cool :)
Cars don’t need to change. Just a big v8 and tire smoke.
Wow,that is amazing.
Just like in the movie 🍿
I robot
Goodyear, keep up the good work
👍👍
Make a racing game with these cars. it would be damn interesting
I can see the ad now....For cars with BALLS...
:)
"You're experiencing a car accident"
"The hell I am"
Just what the world needs
Now even tire companies are selling vaporware.
+ndyt My thoughts exactly.
Where are they selling it? They are showing a concept, they aren't selling anything that doesn't exist.
@Mikael, vaporware = something that has been advertised but is not yet available to buy, either because it is only a concept or because it is still being written or designed. This is an advertisement for tires that are not available, thus, this is vaporware.
If I remember correctly, I Robot did this years ago ;)
+Joell Schedler The principle is *older.* Anyone who took Physics in high school or above (or comparable, depending on country) and did not sleep thru lessons is familiar with this from the 1900s. We have mag-lev trains, we can have other mag-lev vehicles. And magnetically controlled rotation is an even older invention.
+GenMVeers I was speaking specifically of a car which uses 4 balls as tires and this was featured in "I Robot" several years ago. It even looks very similar.
+Joell Schedler True, but this is the 1st actual engineering concept I've ever seen.
Judah Richardson Yes, I agree completely with you and I didn't mean to talk the engineering concept down. Very nice work.
+Joell Schedler Fair enough :)
Can't wait til cars with these 360 wheels are available for the general consumer population
Very Tron and iRobot like.
I'm wondering, what if you had two wheels, two seats facing inward, and the cars were modular? That way a family of four could have two cars, take each one out for errands, or combine them to take the whole family.
I really hope this becomes a thing!
So, is it good in snow or did I miss that part? It's been two years since this video though - I wanna see SOMETHIN!
Those tyres are perfect For formula one in the year 2050 and the fia if youre watching that video please make that a reality!!!
I have some ideas for the interior technology, one of them being a modified spherical induction motor.
please show us a link with further Information to this ideas!
Very good idea👍
PLEASE Elon Musk, take up this concept and make it a reality!!!!!
+Quilliam Attari elon musk, earth's captain planet
+Quilliam Attari Please Elon Musk, you are my only hope...
Elon our savior
elon could if he bought out Liddiard wheels! this has already been invented but for today's vehicles. search for their TH-cam channel.
Yes!! We need Elon on this!
Thought this was a 360 video...
So exciting! Bring on the future!
I didn't expect such technology until 2030.
THE FUTURE IS HERE. COME ON POLITICS, MAKE IT HAPPEN.
+Levo GAMES
Its best not always to rely on politics, since these corrupted ones aren't engineers or scientist and doctors.
But still manage to make decisions for the masses in financial and economical terms which doesn't makes sense.
Morph Verse
There's a difference between relying and depending on politics.
If they don't want it, it aint gonna happen.
***** Ask yourself how messed up of such a system that of itself is..
A group of people making decisions for the masses without any professional background in science and technology and even Economics!.
Science and engineering will always dominate politics because it solves problems over endless debates..
Relying or depending on Politics doesn't benefit us either way.
Morph Verse
Trust me, I'm well aware of all of that.
And as an added value for the wheels not having direct contact with the vehicle ( maglev) ...we will have a totally SMOOOOOOTH driving...
actually this isnt necessarily true. if you watch any other videos on electromagnetic levitation you will notice it produces a rather rough shake on the levitating object
Wow! MIND BLOWN
Wheel wells are now triple in volume, hence all cars are widebody from factory. Fuckin yeah.
"Michelin ain't got shit on me !"
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS AH I'm a sucker for technology in the automobile industry!
Imagine drifting in these tires!! oh yess
I-Robot! The concept is finally released from the movie :)
Thanks to Goodyear we can now destroy the Arctic wilderness with vast bridges. But at least we have cool tyres.
Very intelligent and functional. Tires can be controlled by the magnets and electronics inside. Nice.
This will be fantastic for directional change on a whim. Parking, moving the car around without doing a 3 point turn, it would all be possible. They would how ever need to develop a Goodyear car, or a car manufacturer would have to design a car to the specs or the wheels. It would be A) Expensive, more so than a Tesla. They would corner the market and referring to C if you corner an industry product that also becomes a safety standard in your country or the world, you become uncontrollable massive and expensive, even with Government incentive or the Government putting money into each product bought. B) The fact the tires are unique would mean the cost would be 10 fold more expensive than any tire. C) It might create an industry standard in so far as to say it might in fact be safer than other wheels, thus it would become a necessity like airbags for an example.
There are just so many factors to take into account from a business and safety perspective here. This is definitely the future, regardless of design or how far they plan to go with this. The theory of Kinetic energy and movement are the future, the future for moving off this planet and more, its excellent that Goodyear are taking this and running with amazing concepts.
I want this future NOW!
I will either be an old man or dead when this comes into fruition.
Reinventing the wheel! Best use being parallel parking.
This would be a good tire for automated semi trucks. A basic version could have 3 different tread patterns: summer, all season, and metal studded ice pattern and the tire would shift on its latitude depending on which pattern was required based on tire slippage. This would eliminate the need for chaining in heavy snow and ice and rotating could be accomplished by spinning the tire 180 degrees ensuring even wear on both sides.
Concepts remain "concepts" for a few centuries until they become the trend. We still have many concepts from centuries ago that are still "concepts" to this day.
It's going to be a good year if theses tyres will be released
where do i pre-order? ill take 8, take my money please.
Sphere tire from the Audi in I-Robot is cool..
I hope they'll do the effort to actually give the concept a real test..
Cool, too bad it will take like 30 years and will probably cost 25k each one.
Well I doubt 25k will be much especially considering the price of the cars they'll be on
+MegaOZX Yes. Then the next version will be available after 20 years for 15k, then the next one after 5 yrs and for 5k, followed by one in the next year for $500 and so on.
+MegaOZX My guess is that it will be released in 2020 or so for a ludicrous price, probably 4,000 for the pair. But every year it will decrease, and by 2030, it will become the price of a regular wheel.
+MegaOZX How so? We already have whole trains that are hovering above the rails. And that's just a car wheels. I would say it is much easier to make hovering car, than hovering, massive train.
+MankindDiary That's pretty different. A train has ample space and power to use electromagnets and only moves along a very precise track.
Surely Newtons first law of inertia becomes a major factor if the magnetic directionals fail i.e. if you are rounding a corner for instance and they fail, you essentially will roll faster into the direction with which the car was heading at point of turn. Standard tires despite their two dimensional shape naturally break (skid) as they have little natural side drift.
The Goodyear imaginary tire
lol at larger contact patch.. Umm no. cylinder has a much bigger contact patch than a sphere.
+Atanas Tripzter Larger than it would be without the foam. Duh.
+Atanas Tripzter If it stayed perfectly spherical you'd be right, but the contact patch would be a flattened portion of the sphere. Could theoretically be more surface area
+Atanas Tripzter The pressure in the tire and the weight of the car dictates the contact patch. ie: 250lb downforce on tire and 25psi tire pressure results in 10 sq.in. contact patch. same for any shape
mcnameva Same for any shape? Sooo false. Unless you have to air down the ball dramatically the cylinder will have a lot more contact with the road.
+Atanas Tripzter under the assumption that neither shape supports weight without internal air pressure I think simple calculation describes the contact area. POUNDS PER SQUARE INCH. same weight supported, same internal pressure, same contact patch.
This does look cool, magnets make sense, but it seems like it might draw a lot of power to constantly shift and monitor the tires. we are going to get electric cars being mainstream before this.
Yeah... I can see how magnetic levitation would allow the wheels to spin, but how exactly would it drive or stop the vehicle?
Does the magnetic levitation require constant electrical power? Would they still function in the case of complete loss of power? Are permanent magnets used?
the tires would contain permanent magnets, and electromagnets would be in the car. Without power the suspension woulden't work, so the car would need to be able to sit on the tires, and safely shut down before the batteries ran out.
When I was in grade 6 I came up with the idea of a car like this with spherical tires lmao.
That was a few months before this video came out and it blew my mind
Cool idea, but I wonder if the cars wouldnt become very wide just to be able to contain the spheres., also how do they solve the issue with collision safety? Cars hitting each other would result in the spheres starting rolling in high speed down the road.
I know the tyres are "magnetically levitating" but how is the drivetrain of the car actually driving the wheels?
+reaktor TuT The car controls the magnetic fields holding the tires and the tires spin to align with them.
It's similar to how maglevs work
SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY
Wow cool!!! but are flat tires going to be a thing of the past?
So the wheel is now a ball nice
How do you keep snow from building up? Also a rock or road debris could get sucked up in.. how bout shocks- Love the idea just wanna know? Magnetic shocks?
1 question, what about hills in road, like in netherlands streeds, we have small ramps so ppl wint drive to fast in streeds? if ask me, a car as this that ver low to the ground, it will hit the small ramp with the front or back side of car?
but i love the idea, as in the movie i robot.
Awesome, amazing..... thank u hx
does there even exist currently a way to move that ball omnidirectionaly with a magnet. I mean is there even a concept they can make that ball spin fast wherever they want?
the car here 2:55 is like "fuck this shit i'm out ,I'm not even in this comercial ,fuck this shit I'm out" hahaha
What about braking with less contact surface how will the coefficient of friction will be increased???
Thats cool and all but how are you supposed to mount the wheel to the car?
Look super cool!! but how are you going to power these tiers...so they are in motion and what about braking???
Plz anyone explain how the turning and braking system works!!
I would say that there would need to be coils on the inside of the fenders that turn on sequentially just like any other electric motor. The wheels would be the rotors and the coils inside the fenders would be the stator. That would be a very efficient and effective design. (The braking would just be turning the coils on sequentially in reverse order.)
i have think of this idea before, ball tire with magnetic levitation. And i found out some problem. How to break the car, or slow down?? since the tires do not have physical contact to car body.
I have think of manipulate the magnitude of the magnet, but does it possible??
Pros: watch the videoCons: What if the tires have not enough traction to connect with the road neh? It makes steering harder, because the cab just looks straight.
Not criticizing here. Show your talents to the world Goodyear!
словами "я же говорил" этого не передать ©👍🏻
if the tires aren't touching the car, what would make the car move? Usually a car needs a method to transfer power to wheels.
Very nice music track used here - sounds like Monolake meets Kraftwerk...
Are these tires filled with air? And if so, how difficult would it be to change them?
+Ethan Deibert They aren't physically connected to the car. Put the car on a lift and turn off the power to the magnets.
> larger and bulkier
> smaller contact area
> more expensive
> presumably slower acceleration
> unclear how you would make the sphere roll
How exactly is this better than a wheel?
+MaXteZ and how would you brake quickly without shredding the tire?
***** And what happens if it makes contact with the chassis?
+MaXteZ You increase the power of the magnets as they get closer to the chassis. Then you design a reasonable worst case scenario and then some for the maximum force the magnets will ever need to exert. Then the only way the magnets will contact the chassis is in a situation where the magnets are the least of your problems.
+Tom Bristow You use a computer to calculate the strongest possible break force you can use without shredding tires or skidding, similar to a tesla model S
ColindaPieman The Tesla doesn't have brake pads?
Idk, sounds like this spherical wheel is gonna be part of a wierd car project to race around in Daytona where it's gonna have one spherical wheel on the front sitting in between 2 cockpits and two wheels on the back powered by the Nascar V8 in the middle.
How about normal wheels with the potential of spinning horizontally? seems easier to manufacture and more practical than spherical tires that are suspended by magnets.
Would magnets be strong enough to provide quick breaking, if needed?
+Andrew Roberts Fool, magnets can not bend light. A magnet can bend the path of any moving charged particle. In fact, that’s how your TV screen displays a video picture. A magnet deflects a beam of electrons to create a video pattern on the screen. Light, however, has no charge and therefore its path is unaffected by a magnet. highschool physics
+Andrew Roberts Keep in mind that the "wheels" need to keep away from the car in order to work, unless the contact area is designed to withstand the extreme friction that would cause.
+nietsnie you got some old TV screens there man. need an upgrade
muy chulo pero como aceleras y frenas ????
Great concept. Couple caveats though:
1) Aerodynamics might be worse than current wheels
2) Approach/departure angles might be problematic
but you could put rocket engines in the wheels tho... ¬‿¬
The magnetic wheels would totally jack up the traffic lights
who needs hover cars or self driving A.I., when you have this?
if the tire isn't physically connected to the vehicle body, will that ease thieves stilling them?
How are they driven? They don't look like they would be very efficient at being the rotor of an electric motor. Since the car is levitated on them, the distance to the stator would have to be too large to be efficient. Plus the stator would not fully surround the rotor/wheel.
So umm, how is this vehicle propelled (and/or slowed down), exactly?
This will never be practical for many many many reasons:
- The energy required to generate a magnetic field strong enough to levitate the vehicle would be cost prohibitive.
- Using a magnetic field to apply enough torque to a rotating wheel to allow turning and braking would be so weak it would be impractical under normal driving conditions.
- Even tire wear would be a real issue. What are these magic wear sensors they are talking about again?
- Hitting a bump or pothole would destroy a wheel or the entire vehicle. A tire making contact with the inside of the wheel well would probably result in catastrophic failure of the whole assembly.
- The vehicle would require perfectly smooth roads to travel on or would have travel at low speed across rough surfaces.
- Debris would be magnetized to the inside of the wheel well while driving down the road.
- Eliminating water being spun off the tire inside the wheel well would be a major problem.
I could keep going but I think this is enough to kill the idea. It looks cool and they could probably even make a working prototype but that does not mean it would be practical for everyone to use.
Выглядит фантастично, но очень красиво!!
I feel that the wheels would need to be larger to house electro magnets to hold up the weight of the car, have space for magnets so that the tires just don't roll into the fender wells on all directions, and what ever mechanism you would need to rotate the wheel. Oh and yes how long will these tires last? I don't see this happening any time soon and by the time its efficient enough we will have probably found a better solution.
+Malachi Mendoza
it does not depend on size of electromagnet, but magnetic flux density, and the closer the tire to car, the stronger the magnetic force.
+Malachi Mendoza there are no electromagnets in the tires. there are magnets in the tire. the electromagnets are above the tire pushing the magents
La fonte di energia.
Già studiai le ruote sferiche nel 2004.
Il 1º problema è la quantità tu energia necessaria, che sarebbe di tipo MagLev.
2º: la struttura della gabbia. Che si parli di attrazione/repulsione…se quella gabbia cede…so cazz.
3º: la costruzione della ruota.
Nel mio progetto pensai a 2 sezioni, quello di GoodYear del 2016 è più complesso.
4º: lo spazio. Se si è vero che ci sono molti vantaggi, ci sono altrettanti svantaggi. Lo spazio per una ruota che possa dare luce a terra come quella di un suv sarebbe enorme.
Immaginate una sfera di 22” 😅
How does this break?
+gabrielfm92
I was wondering, same for propulsion as there is no transmission.
+gabrielfm92
You mean "brake."
Magnetization. Just like brushless motors. Also similar to maglev trains.
Ross Robotics Yeah, my bad. Hmm, I didn't knew that.
Wouldn't it be difficult to turn into a driveway, for instance, if the front end of the car does not turn?
Could someone tell me how they are planning to change those tires? And considering that there will be equal wear on each tire, is it practical to change it like a regular tire? And considering there might be a metal sphere inside, will it be subjected to deformation due to regular stress ?
I’m guessing you lift up the car and take them out from the bottom of the car
If the cars are parked so close together how do you get out?
Woow ! is this futture now? Amazing. Where to buy that car haha ? :D
This is the next level, after this it's hover cars Blade Runner style.
I have seen the future, and it's a ball of magnetized rubber.
Liddiard wheels can do this now. they are on TH-cam also.
No they can't. Liddiard wheels only move forward/backward or left/right, not everything in between like these wheels..
like it! when can I buy it?
