Dandelion
THE
DANDELION IS AN ALL-TERRAIN TIRE CONCEPT THAT HAS 72 LEGS INSTEAD OF AN
AIR-FILLED TUBE
Dandelion
tire is a concept product made by the Korean corporation, Nexen Tire and it is
completely different from the existing rubber tire.
Like
a dandelion, 72 pins act as tires, and each pin moves up and down
independently, minimizing car movement on any terrain.
And
the flexible movement of the pins increases the contact with the ground,
maximizing the vehicle's operating capacity and minimizing maintenance.
Even
if an individual pin fails, only the failed pin can be replaced, which means
that it costs less to maintain than a rubber tire that needs to be replaced.
This
pin tire has received a concept award at the 2019 Red Dot Design Award.
