Re: pic: Cone-Wheel Concept
Aha, I understand, thanks. I agree that this could work in an ideal world.
My intuition says there might be a problem in this situation: the narrow end of the roller will have less grip, and will need to generate more tractive force than the wider end of the roller. This is because of the larger contact area on the wider end of the roller, and the lower tractive force needed to balance the torque internal to the roller. Does that make sense?
