Bionics non-pneumatic tire cellular come out

Tire is a great invention, without tires, the car how to walk comfortably? United Wisconsin's Madison Polymer Research Center developed a different tire, it is a non-pneumatic tire of the cellular structure.

The use of bionics principle, the multi-hexagonal honeycomb structure to support each other to reduce vibration, enhance the strength of the wheel. This non-pneumatic tire has a honeycomb structure of fear fried features, of course, that is not afraid of fear fried to a certain extent of the explosion, the use of the structural design of the advantages of maintaining a certain shock at the same time maximize the performance of the improved strength of the wheel. It is not because of inflated tire, so do not have to worry about tire pressure. At the same time, so the structure can be avoided flat tires, tire noise suppression and friction heat is also more superior than ordinary tires.

At present, the cellular structure of such non-pneumatic tire of the ongoing series of tests, including by external forces to undermine the role of the stress test, damage to the structure of the trial, the test-bed rolling test bed, I believe that the completion of these tests, the real use in mass production The time for the car far away.

Hummer off-road vehicles off-road capability of the super, but the war in Iraq, most Hummer headache than roadside bombs and landmines. No matter how good the horse's legs and feet do not trip, the traditional tire explosion-proof protection is either limited or the cost. Although perhaps not an ordinary tire comfortable, but this is a great invention. It is learned that this tire has begun delivery of military use, is expected to reduce costs in 2011 with General Tire similar. Perhaps in the near future, a non-pneumatic tire of the cellular structure of the popular will be able to market a modified car.
