The new wheel

I was thinking about this:

Why would it not work? Could we put it on cars and bikes?

you can also point them up a bit and decrease weigh. Pointing it downwards will increase the weight of the vehicle for extra good grip on the road.

Hi,
aren?t the forces compensated inside the frame ?
So I think there is no force acting into one direction.

The right magnets are attracted into the center, so indeed
it compensates the centrifugal forces,
BUT the magnets inside the frame, that stand still will be
attracted into the direction out of the center, so these
are then equal to the centrifugal forces just compensated,
so it all equals out to zero...?!

yes, you are right.

I've thought about it a bit more. The row of magnets on the wheel needs some freedom of movement. Then they can be pulled towards the inside of the wheel.

Would that fix it?
