By Pictolic https://pictolic.com/article/smart-wheels-that-adapt-to-the-road-and-the-weather.htmlAlready in the near future, a development may appear on the market that will allow motorists not to worry about changing wheels with the onset of the new season. "Smart" wheels will adjust themselves to weather conditions and to the road surface.
The XXI century dictates new standards for the most familiar things. This trend is also spreading to the automotive industry. Recently, a group of designers and engineers presented a new conceptual development called Kuhmo's Maxplo, which is essentially nothing more than real "smart" wheels.
1. Kuhmo's Maxplo — "smart" car wheels for any weather.
2. New design perspectives for car wheels.
3. A curious feature is all kinds of additional functions. One of them is the possibility of expanding or narrowing the wheels themselves at the driver's command. It will be very useful, for example, when driving in snow or mud. In addition, Kuhmo's Maxplo wheels will be able to produce spikes for better grip on the surface. It will be extremely difficult to pierce the "smart" wheel with any object.
4. If this happens, the wheel will be able to automatically replace the damaged segment due to "auto-pumping". Finally, it is worth noting that Kuhmo's Maxplo will weigh about 12 kilograms. The dimensions of the wheel in normal mode (unchanged) will be 700 × 700 × 250 mm. Each wheel will have a small electric motor with a pair of batteries. Wheels will be created from advanced composite materials.
