Description

Industrial design course work. The idea was to make an amphibious vehicle that can be used on land, ice and on water. To realize these points the vehicle needed to be adaptable to the environment and use. This problem was solved by a specially designed tire. The wheel exists of movable parts which can increase traction or even transform in a paddle wheel to propel the vehicle in the water. The wheel is controlled by terrain sensors which decide when more or less traction is needed. This system provides the vehicle with more safety because it can answer to different kind of terrains. Inside each wheel is an electric engine, which has energy from batteries.
