Re: Propulsion that does not involve driving wheels

I noticed that the question was raised as to whether the 26 N was for each wheel or all combined. That's a physics answer I'll nab: it does not matter. Increased surface area does not affect the frictional force. Only normal force and the coefficient of friction affects. So, more wheels I believe will produce same friction output. I believe.
