Re: Variable Diameter Wheels

another application for these cone shaped wheels would be railroads and subways.

as you enter a train station the tracks would be wider, the train would slow down and have more torque (stopping and starting power) (no need to tip the wheels)

then out in the great far-betweens the tracks would be placed closer together, and the train would take off like a bat out of you-know-where
