I also believe that this desgn could work without having to use magnetic levitation as long as the lower ’skin’ was strong enough e.g. carbon fiber.

It doesn’t remind me of a whale but rather a glass slipper from one angle, or a snake from the other. I love it and everything is possible in it so I don’t personally know what Billy is talking about. Terrabolt knows what he/she is talking about but I think the front wheels work on the ‘gear’ idea also as they do have a rather large join at the base so it would not make sense for them not to be powered.

Stumbled upon this page while looking for something completely unrelated… but…

Looking at the design of the car, it seems pretty reasonable to me.

In response to Billy’s comments:
It’s not back wheel, but one wheel.
As to how it would spin, I see 2 possibilities…
There’s a gear spinning the wheel on the inside, you might notice a track on the inside of the wheel itself. And second could be, wheel to wheel rotation. Having another wheel or set of wheels spinning the wheel on the inside (rubber to rubber).

As to the front wheels, they don’t need axles. The tires rotate around the wheel itself (the inside part doesn’t spin).

I can see that vehicle only on very straight roads in warm countries. Puddles are acceptable as there are water guards. The wheels would still send some water slashing behind them though.

Just my 5 cents.

First.. How are the back wheels supposed to spin?… anyone…
And how are the front wheels supposed to spin?… there are no axels…..

pretty concept… but needs some simple realistic engineering aesthetics to make it more believable.

why need mudguard? those thing will break before it can run…

OMG, people, make mudguards!! I can just see all that mug and water on rider’s heads!

the ide of dislpay in stearing wheel is just briliant, althought trearing wheel looks like tire ;/
