"Torque Tyres, cheap tyres"
[ "Offbeat tyre designs that will leave your mind dizzying;Innovation is thebasis of any industry. This hunger to create something new, something unusualis what keeps the fire in the belly. While automobile manufacturers areincorporating newer technologies in their products so as to give maximumcomfort to their users, tyre manufacturers are also not lagging behind in thecompetition.They are workingdiligently to match each step with the car manufacturers so that they producetyres that will completely blow your mindTorque Tyres;are nodoubt one of the most significant inventions by the man. Till date, weve beenreading how tyres contribute to the handling and safety of the vehicle. But inthis blog, youll get to know about tyres which are totally different in theirapproach. So, what are you waiting for? Lets get startedUnconventional tyredesigns;1Atyre that charges your car;Yes! Thats what Goodyear claimed in 2015 when itunveiled its BH03 concept. According to the company, action in the materialstakes place and this generates electricity in the tyre. This heat created bythe tyre captures and transforms energy while the tyre is rolling on the roadGoodyear had specifically created these;cheaptyres;for electric vehicles, so as to provide support to suchvehicles2Atyre with artificial intelligence;This was again invented by Goodyear at Geneva MotorShow. This ones a printed tyre in 3D with a spherical shape. This is aimed fordriverless cars. Its powered by artificial intelligence and it has sensorsmade of super-elastic polymers.Its speciality is that it can assess your drivingconditions including the kind of terrain you are driving your vehicle on. Italso has the ability to connect with other vehicles on the road for trafficmanagement, infrastructure and some other related issues3Theairless printed tyre;This concept was developed by Michelin. This was anairless tyre that was said to be puncture-free and rechargeable. It was namedthe Vision Concept which wasnt dependent on air. The interior design of thetyre made it impossible for the wheel to blowout or punctureThese;Torque tyres;also hadsensors which made them smart enough to communicate with their user, tellingthem about the roads and weather conditions, as the tread, adjusted itself tothe driving conditions4Theair-cleaning tyre;This was the creation of Goodyear and it named thistyre concept as Oxygene. This tyre had moss on its sidewalls. The companyclaimed that it absorbed carbon dioxide and released oxygen, just as the plantsdo during the process of photosynthesis.This was the eco-friendly tyre which aimed atimproving the quality of life of the people living in the city. Now thats whatyou call a smart invention. Isnt it?;5Thetyre made to rule the spaceThese super-elastic;Torque tyres;weredeveloped by NASA to combat the rocky terrain of Mars. Though these tyres weredeveloped for space, they are also touted to be alternatives;for thepneumatic tyres on Earth.The special feature of this tyre is that it usesshape memory cells that can withstand the high strain. Therefore, they canbrave any kind of deformation without getting damaged permanently. Theload-carrying capacity also increases tremendously as you use the memory alloysas the stiffening element in the tyres6Theall-terrain wheels for the farmers;These tyres were developed by the Royal College ofArt specifically for the farmers in Africa as they needed to carry heavy loadsto the market on their backs. A flexible cage wheel was formed using stainlesssteel components. This had the ability to expand and contract depending on thesituation. These wheels were supposed to be mounted on tricycles, wheelbarrowsand light vehicles so that the farmer could carry the weight with ease.The future belongs torevolution and all the above tyre concepts are living proof of this. For someof the designs, we just need to wait for the prototypes to hit the market tostart using them." ]
