Reinventing The Wheel

May 7, 2008 | 12 Comments

You must have heard rather often the saying “You don’t need to re-invent the wheel” If we buy into that then we may not have this interesting development today! Take a look at the photo of this car and do you notice anything different?

Yeah, you can literally see through the tyres! Call it Tranparant Tyres if you like but its a new technology from the South Carolina Plant of Michelin! With such tyres you need not worry about :-

1. Pumping your tyres.
2. No more Punctures on your tyres.
3. No more repair Kit for your tyres.

Isn’t that great news for you ladies? I think having a flat tyre is one of your nightmares in driving! Have a closer look at this super-development in tyre technology.



Remembered years ago, Professor Nicholas Negroponte talked about creating a Square Tyre! Guess that is still classified under ‘Dreams & Vision.” Now we have See-through Tyres!

What is this?

Judging from this photo, can you folks tell what on earth is this? It weighs over a ton! Looks like a PABX or does it give you the impression of some electrical equipment found in factories ? Well for your information this was a Computer Hard Disk Drive made in 1956 by IBM and its called the 305 RAMAC. The storage capacity of this monster was only 5 MB! Compare to the thumb drives we have nowadays in Gigs!
