About 200 years ago, in the Grand Duchy of Baden, on the banks of the Rhine, Karl Drais invented the “treadmill”. The invention evolved in various ways and morphed over the years. Already in 1860 Pierre Michaux, founder of the Michaux Company, developed the first two-wheeled bicycle, with pedals, which became really popular.
It is now when we are witnessing the bicycle with square wheels capable of traveling kilometers or, actually, we are witnessing the reinvention of the wheel, one of the best inventions of humanity thousands of years ago. c.
Modern engineering has allowed the squaring of the circle as well as the minds capable of questioning everything, as CarandDriver points out of the proposal for a bicycle with square wheels on the YouTube channel, The Q, dedicated to “science videos and more”.
The video shows the functionality of the invention with which a person advances just by hitting the pedals as in any pedal transport.
This is a track system that makes the external structure of the box not move, but only an internal tread, as it happens with tanks and other track systems, explains CarandDriver.
The magic is done by taking two square frames to which he installs a pair of rotating gears in the corners, which will be the real ones in charge of making the tread move, continues the automobile magazine.
It remains to know what are the advantages over the bicycle with round wheels.
