Biomimicry Creates New Tires-
Biomimicry is the science that imitates nature to
create new products.
Resilient Technologies, a Wisconsin based company,
has created a tire that can't go flat.
Instead of using a pressurized aircavity, the tire
design relies on a geometric pattern of six-sided
cells that are arranged in a matrixlike a honeycomb.
It has the same ride, reduced noise levels and heat
generation as pressurized tires. The goal wasto
create an airless tire with uniform flexibility and load
transfer that would endure tremendous wear and tear
and still perform well.
The best design was found in nature, which was the
honeycomb.
