2005年11月14日出版的美国《时代》杂志刊登了“2005年度最佳发明”的评选结果,环球飞行器、跳舞机器人和仿生可植入内用绷带等39件发明创造入选。《时代》杂志将此39件发明按照不同的用途和领域分为12类。最棒的交通工具1．Tweel无气轮胎发明人:法国米其林轮胎公司预计2020年可应用于普通轿车车轮如果没有充气轮胎包裹着,看起来就很像古老的木轮马车的车轮。米其林公司研制的Tweel车轮确实带有一些返古色彩。这种车轮的触轨面为减震橡胶材料制成,能将所受压力分散至数十根由轮胎中心的铝制轮辋支撑的具有弹性的聚亚安酯轮辐上。由于这种车轮中没有气体,因此,它比充气轮胎更坚固,且绝不会出现爆胎的情况。目前,Tweel车轮已经在“iBOT3000独立机动系统”(iBOT)机器人轮椅和军车上进行了试验。但米其林公司表示,由于其噪音仍然较大,因此,短期内尚不适合用于普通轿车。
The magazine named “The Best Invention of 2005” published by Time magazine on November 14, 2005, was selected by 39 inventions including a global aircraft, a dancing robot, and a bandage for bionically implantable implants. Time magazine classified the 39 inventions into 12 categories for different purposes and areas. The best transportation 1. Tweel airless tire Inventor: France Michelin Tire Company is expected in 2020 can be applied to ordinary car wheels If not wrapped with pneumatic tires, looks like the wheels of the old wooden wagon. Tweel wheels developed by Michelin do have some retro colors. The tread of this wheel is made of shock-absorbing rubber material that distributes the pressure to dozens of resilient polyurethane spokes supported by aluminum rims in the center of the tire. Because of the absence of gas in this wheel, it is stronger than pneumatic tires and will never experience a flat tire. Currently, Tweel wheels have been tested on the iBOT robotic wheelchairs and military vehicles. But Michelin said it is not yet suitable for use in ordinary cars in the short term because of the noise.
