A visit to the site Osmos Wheel gives an idea of the potential of the orbital wheel which, for now, unable to prove its worth. The development of the orbital wheel could be revived. Today the holder of the patents, Motta Vistaholding, has concluded an agreement with Sbarro. Hence the lack of orbital wheel at Sbaro thereafter. This side-car, launched in 2000 to promote the watch inspired by the orbital wheel, made his reappearance in the Mondial de l'Automobile, Paris and in Essen in 2008.įirst in 1991 Franco Sbarro sold all his shares to Dominica Motta who tried to continue the development of the orbital wheel.
Notet that another surprising vehicle was equipped later with orbital wheels : the Aero. The body is suggested with metal wire, allowing a clear view of the whole link arm of the orbital wheel. The third motorcycle rather serves as a teaching tool. At the rear, there is a classic wheel with a hub and chain The second motorbike, red, has a link arms visible on the front that hides the bottom of the wheel. The challenge comes in navigating around other, larger motes in the game world brush up against them, and the players own mote will be absorbed. Saint-Gobain Abrasives is supplying small specialty abrasive belts to Darex of Ashland, Oregon, a manufacturer of custom tool sharpening machines, for use in its new Work Sharp Culinary machine, a first-of-its-kind high-end knife sharpener. Osmos, developed by independent studio Hemisphere Games, is an ambient strategy game in which the player tries to grow a tiny mote into a large one by absorbing nearby smaller motes. On right profile, nothing suggests any connection between the bike and its wheels Abrasives to supply tool sharpening company. The first motorbike, white, is probably the most pure. It must be said that the lack of a hub is more "visible" on two wheels than on a car. More than the coupé Osmos, it was the motorbikes equipped with orbital wheel that made sensation. Then, with Dominique Motta, Franco Sbarro founded the Sbarro Mottas Engineering will set up the program Osmos (Original Sbarro Mottas Orbital System) which will result in the presentation of the coupé Osmos and three spectacular motorcycles. Franco Sbarro asked a Swedish company specializing in bearings, SKF. To achieve this orbital wheel, it needed a very large-diameter wheel bearing. A fixed part lies around the inner ring of the bearing to which are set linking triangles, steering rod and brake gripper. A rotating part including the tyre, a centre-free rim and a brake ring The orbital wheel comprises two components : A centreless wheel is a wheel where the force is delivered in the perimeter of the wheel rather than in the centre there are a variety of centreless wheels. The center of gravity is lowered for better grip. A wheel without axis enables to support the vehicle at the lowest point. The idea is very simple: the constraints that occur on a wheel are at ground level, on the outer periphery. In 1989, Franco Sbarro has surprised everyone by presenting his most amazing invention: the orbital wheel or the hubless wheel.
