DESIGN NAME: Two-ply Tyre
PRIMARY FUNCTION: A new tyre
INSPIRATION: Through observation, we found that the width of the spare tire was equivalent to 2/3 of the regular tire. This inspired me to change the tire into two parts, and if one part breaks another still can work. The tyre was eventually designed as the two cavities.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This is a tire with two cavity. The advantage is that if the sharp things break the tire, only one of the cavity leaks, and the other remains intact, which makes the whole tyre not completely deflated. As a result, the car can run safely for a time, and it will not change direction suddenly.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: -
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: -
FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Vehicle, Mobility and Transportation Design

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: The most important technique of this design is to change the original trachea into a bifurcation trachea. The basic material of the tyre is still rubber.
SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: -

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: I did some prototypes to verify the principle of inflation.
CHALLENGE: The biggest design difficulty of the tire is to consider how to inflate the two cavity and maintain the relative independence of the two cavity.
