andreus009 Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Good Find Pezzy. What a cool invention. Somebody was really thinking outside the box when they came up with that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrimGreg Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 I've seen something else with that style drive....can't think of what it was at the moment though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andreus009 Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 I think something for the water may have had a similar drive??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precise1 Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Haha, that is awesome!! I wonder if it ever went anywhere?? That certainly is an extensive advertisement. I've never heard of anything like that before... B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soccerstudd5 Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 That's pretty inventive. It's amazing the mechanical inventions of those times before computers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kittamaru Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 (edited) There is a forklift that uses this drive system - you can see it in action in Star Trek XI for one, though the name escapes me also. It allows for full 360 degree movement via 4 drum-style wheels... I'll try to find a video AirTrax is the name of the wheel system. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CjcyHicm3NA Edited January 14, 2010 by Kittamaru Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dowser Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Watching that second video makes me think that it's the Michael Jackson of Fork Lifts. See that Bad Boy Moonwalk? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PATHRIDER Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 That first one is one of the coolest invention if seen in a long long time. A smaller version would be cool aslo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
