VAXXi Posted February 13, 2005 Share Posted February 13, 2005 Nu pot să zic decât "băi mai dă-o-ncolo ..." At the North American International Auto Show, Michelin showcased a potentially disruptive technology with significant ramifications for the future for mobility: an airless, integrated tyre and wheel combination dubbed the TWEEL (i.e. Tyre/WhEEL) . The Tweel promises performance levels beyond those possible with conventional pneumatic technology. The Tweel prototype, demonstrated on the Audi A4, is within five percent of the rolling resistance and mass levels of current pneumatic tires. That translates to within one percent of the fuel economy of the OE fitment. Additionally, Michelin has increased the lateral stiffness by a factor of five, making the prototype unusually responsive in its handling. For Michelin, Tweel is a long-term vision that represents the next step in a long path of industry-changing innovations. Fifty years ago, Michelin invented the radial tyre and there is no question that radial tyre technology will continue as the standard for a long time to come. Michelin continues to advance the performance of the radial tyre in areas such as rolling resistance, wear life and grip. In the short-term, the lessons learned from Tweel research are being applied to improve those conventional tyre performances. In the future, Tweel may reinvent the way that vehicles move. Checking tyre pressure, fixing flats, highway blow-outs and balancing between traction and comfort could all fade into memory. Link Michelin Articol Gizmag Link to comment
iuzar Posted February 13, 2005 Share Posted February 13, 2005 ...Shefuuuuu, cand incepi sa le importi si in Rromania? Link to comment
Zetics Posted February 13, 2005 Share Posted February 13, 2005 Nu pot sa spun ca arata prea bine pe masina...parca e neterminata Oricum, presupun ca acum vecinii binevoitori vor taia spitzele, in loc sa intzepe.. Link to comment
test_driver Posted February 13, 2005 Share Posted February 13, 2005 Era o reclama mai demult in reviste, cu un porsche cu roti de lemn de caruta, fara cauciuc, si cand am vazut intr-o revista poza la cauciucurile astea, prima chestie care mi-a trecut prin capa a fost "ce dracu, au schimbat astia porscheul pe un A4?!?, aaa ala e cauciuc ". Oricum ideea nu mi se pare prea buna, pt. ca arata masina muuult mai naspa, si nu stiu care sunt beneficiile, oare merita? cred ca o sa fie si al naibi de scumpe. Link to comment

VIPER Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 Unde nu arata si vaporul meu asa de naspa cat mai curand... Astia sunt dementi! Singura intrebare (care era si pe Autoshow) e cum naiba sta masina pe loc? Nu se turtesc rotile? Ca in mers apar fortele diverse si se ovalizeaza... Link to comment
iuzar Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 se pare ca nu se turteste, dupa cum se vede in pozele urmaretze...God Knows! Link to comment
iso Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 Ideea e buna(nascuta moarta) dar nu pentru Romanica !!! Pai ia' ginditi voi ce se intimpla daca intra noroi intre spitzele alea de cauciuc sau intra apa si ingheatza ??? Ma mai gindesc si la zgomotul aerodinamic pe care'l face --- ceva gen sirena lu' Vasile Roaita sau poate au vijiituri la alegere ... ) Link to comment
Satori Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 pai ce se intampla daca intra gheata? la primul soc probabil se sparge gheata si atat. ca nu or avea rezistenta plasticului de pet. sau, si mai misto, sa le faca cu incalzire si uite si un motiv pentru care dezvolta TWEEL, motiv care m-a lasat foarte uimit: For manufacturers, the Tweel offers an opportunity to reduce the number of parts, eliminating most of the 23 components of a typical new tire as well as the costly air-pressure monitors that will soon be required on new vehicles in the United States.

Zmeul cel rau Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 Atunci cand le vor lansa pe piata, ma gandesc eu, vor acoperi lateralele si astfel nu va intra gheata ori alte corpuri straine acolo. Designul asta nudist cred ca e doar pentru prezentare. (si arata si nasol) Link to comment
Satori Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 pai arata nasol dar asta e. nu ai cum sa acoperi lateralele pentru ca suprafata laterala se modifica ca marime. Link to comment
Zmeul cel rau Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 Ii pune un cauciuc si gata. Ala e flexibil si se indoaie. Practic ar arata ca astealalte dar nu vor fi umflate. >- Link to comment
Satori Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 yak! mai bine cu spite >- Link to comment
Alezz Posted March 27, 2005 Share Posted March 27, 2005 Jentile mele sunt patrate dupa numai 4000km de unde pot sa fac si eu rost de un set de jenti d'astea ??? Link to comment
