Shark Wheel Patented Technology – The Science and Engineering behind the Wheel
Few features of Shark Wheel Technology listed below. This is outside Design HMI core competence but feel the technology has potential application either for In-Vehicle specific application usage or as wheels for family / other campers / trailers.
Adding smart electronics to this would greatly increase feature function.
- Low rolling resistance on hard surfaces means higher speeds and less friction then a conventional wheel of same width.
- When the wheel is slipping or on soft surfaces it cuts a wide contact patch and digs its way out. (like a snake moving through the sand)
- Benefits of a thin wheel and a wide wheel in one shape.
- Government Grant Recipient – National Science Foundation.
- Winner of SBIR NSF Phase I Grant – $225,000
- Tested in 2018
- Solves Biggest Issue in Farming
- Winner of SBIR NSF Phase II $750,000 in 2019
- Early testing shows significant advantages in rutting
