Perhaps you ve seen the most strange of tires

Now entrepreneurs love to "reinvent" products we take for granted. Recently one United Kingdom stylist Sam Pearce to come up with a different idea to redesign the tire, and he's focused on the skeleton of the tire. So he reinvented the tire exactly what is so special about it? Marc Jacobs iPhone 6 plus

If you haven't guessed it, for you now reveal the uniqueness of this tire. Generally speaking, the tyre's main function is to give vehicles a grip, vehicles both sunny rain can be firmly seized ground, slipping accidents do not appear. But designers Pearce way, so that the tire can also shock absorbers. First fewer spokes than the General tire in the middle of the wheel and, secondly, it tires excellent damping effect, and can be used for bicycles and wheelchairs. This is Loopwheels's Forte, and finalists in the recent London Design Museum's annual design awards.

Pearce was himself an inventor, and design consultants. It can always invent new things, and Loopwheels's inspiration came from a baby carriage. Pearce sat at that time in the Netherlands Airport waiting for his flight. He noticed a woman pushing a baby carriage. Pearce said that "when an obstacle is encountered the woman, she doesn't skip stroller's front wheel, leading the kids in the car dashed out because of its inertia. "So, it wondered why the wheels cannot be temporarily suspended in case of obstacles?

Infant car seat should have a damper at the bottom, which helps reduce rebound, tire when they meet an obstacle but it doesn't make the wheels to the rear rebound. After that, he began to envision a system, damping directly integrated into the wheel and tire when an obstacle is encountered more flexibly you can scroll through, rather than just rebound.

Although traditional spoke-wheel after the numerous remakes, but since the birth of this invention, after hundreds of years of time was incredibly efficient, wants to reinvent the tire can imagine the difficulty.

Nothing is impossible to a willing heart, Pearce in the local bow shop to find the answer. A good bow must be a good tire has similar characteristics: bows and arrows must have incredible strength, but it also needs to be flexible enough to accommodate substantial stretch.

After about 70 of the improved, Pearce, and bow and arrow manufacturers working together to create the perfect product, the structure is a picture of "weird shapes". Pearce called this structure "carbon fiber composite structures", the structure is created Loopwheels. Loopwheels is used on the bike for the first time, then a wheelchair manufacturer also took a new direction, began to buy new tyres.

This tire is essential for wheelchair users, because their body is fully exposed with the wheelchair, which means that they will often absorb vibrations from the road. Pearce said that because of the auto industry has to some extent using this technology, so that each wheel priced from $ 2000 a, dropped hundreds of levels.
