The US military wheel design can switch from a circle to a triangle in 2 seconds

The redesign of the wheel shape with the ability to flexibly switch between circles and triangles is extremely necessary to increase mobility for military service vehicles.

According to Techcrunch, America's Advanced Defense Research Projects Agency (DARPA) recently found a way to improve the wheel very nicely on the Humvee, often used in the US military.

The wheel is extremely nicely improved on the Humvee.

Humvee is a versatile vehicle with high mobility, able to overcome most difficult terrain, for patrol, reconnaissance, combat or light transport purposes.

The Reconfigurable Wheel-Track wheel innovation initiative (RWT) is part of DARPA's Ground X-Vehicle Technologies (GXV-T ) program to increase the durability and mobility of combat vehicles in the US military.

The conversion process can take place even when the car is moving without causing any impact.

Accordingly, the improved wheel on Humvee has the ability to transform from circle to triangle in a very seamless and easy way within 2 seconds. The conversion process can take place even when the car is moving without causing any impact.

Round wheels have the advantage of moving on many rough terrain surfaces, while triangular wheels help Humvee move on soft and easy-to-sink surfaces and slippery surfaces.

Triangular wheels help Humvee move on soft and easy-to-sink surfaces and slip.

DARPA GXV-T manager, Major Amber Walker shared: "In terms of mobility, we chose a completely different approach by developing more agile travel options on every terrain. We looking forward to transforming the invention into future ground vehicle technology ".

DARPA claims, the new RWT technology will increase mobility for the Humvee by 95%. It is unclear when DARPA will apply the wheel conversion technology from circle to triangle. However, if applied in practice, this would undoubtedly be a very useful invention in the military.
