The Tweel - Radical New Wheel Technology.....Great Innovation
Next Generation Tyres
...No Fear of Puncture anymore
Updated April 29, 2005 Michelin has showcased a potentially disruptive technology with significant ramifications for the future for mobility: an airless, integrated tyre and wheel combination dubbed the TWEEL (i.e. Tyre/WhEEL) . The Tweel promises performance levels beyond those possible with conventional pneumatic technology. The first commercial applications of the Tweel will be in lower-speed, lower-weight vehicles such as the iBOT mobility device and Segway's Concept Centaur. Designed by Segway-inventor Dean Kamen, the iBOT mobility device has the ability to climb stairs and navigate uneven terrain, offering mobility freedom impossible with traditional wheelchairs. Additionally, Segway's Concept Centaur, a prototype that applies self-balancing technology to a four-wheel device, has also been equipped with Tweel to increase its performance potential.

Pictures Showing Life on Mars
THESE amazing pictures seem to prove something geeks and Sci-Fi fans have suspected for years - there's life on Mars.
Nasa's Mars Explorer Spirit sent us these images from the surface of the Red Planet four years ago. After intense scrutiny, pictures that could be a living being have finally been found. An amateur astronomer commented: "As far as I'm concerned, this is proof. "What else could it be but a human-like creature?"
