TUBELESS REVOLUTION

Advantages of a Tubeless Tyre

OVERDRIVE advocates the use of tubeless tyres:

How much importance do we place on the tyres we use in our vehicles? Where is tyre technology is to in the future? It is essential for vehicle users to be aware of the advantages of tubeless tyres compared to conventional tube tyres.

So what exactly are the advantages? The primary advantage of a tubeless tyre is in internal construction and materials used. A tubed tyre is vulnerable to friction and heat generated between the tube and the inner surface of the tube which reduces life of the tube. In a tubeless tyre the inner layer of the tyre is the tube itself. This layer is made of a material like halo-butyl/chlorobutyl which is basically resistant to heat and reduces permeation of air.

The weight of the tube inside a tyre adds to the un sprung weight affecting handling characteristics and overall performance. The lack of a tube reduces un sprung weight and improves dynamic ability. The lack of a tube also reduces rolling resistance caused by friction between the tyre and tube. The lower rolling resistance, lesser weight and the tubeless tyre's capability to uniformly retain air improve fuel efficiency.

Another important advantage from a safety point of view takes care of a problem none of us have control over: punctures! Ever experienced a high-speed blowout? There have been a number of gruesome high-speed fatalities on the Mumbai-Pune expressway caused by tyre blowouts.

At speeds in excess of 100kmph high temperatures are generated. These high temperatures expand (in some cases this tube is over-inflated too which only aggravates the situation) the tube and a sudden sharp penetration at high speed causes the tube to burst very easily. The air expelled at high pressure forces its way out of the tyre from around the rim and the tube valve hole. In some cases the pressure exerted by this escaping air is strong enough to rip open the tyre. A burst tyre causes a sudden loss in traction which is sufficient to throw the vehicle off course violently.

In a tubeless tyre penetrations into the tyre are sealed off by the rubber itself. As a result, leakage of air does not take place and if it does, it is minimal. Over-inflation can still cause grievous harm but the hazards from punctures in a tubeless tyre are greatly reduced. In case of a total loss of air inside the tyre, it is likely that the bead will collapse inside the rim-well rather than come off it.

Other tube troubles include ballooning, open splice, spurious tubes, pinholes, tube mounting damage and finally the cost of a tube and its maintenance, all of which are avoided with tubeless tyres.

Tubeless tyres present a very good case for themselves.

They are a welcome foot forward in Tyre technology that the world has accepted decades ago.

21st Century's water car

Hydrogen Fuel Cells

21st century water car! Fact or Fiction? Fact!

FACT! Water can not burn unless the atoms that make up water are split into gas. A very simple Process!

Learn how to build an electrolyze fuel cell. We will teach you how to get fuel from water and with that information you can learn how to run any gasoline engine on water, it's a very simple process. The amount of gas that is output will depend on the proper construction of the cell itself. You can also use hydrogen to cook with or help heat your home.

A customer who bought our plans quickly put together a small Fuel Cell Unit. Using an 8 oz glass of water he had enough hydrogen to power his Bunsen burner many days! He was amazed that he could get that much energy from just one glass of water.

The fuel cells are easy to build from supplies you can find in your home or at any hardware store in your area.

We do not store the Hydrogen and oxygen in large containers, we use it on demand, we make it as it is needed which makes using these fuel from water cells safe to use.

Hydrogen Fuel Cells

Many vehicles in America are already running on propane gas and natural gas. The nice thing is these cars or trucks could be made to run on hydrogen and oxygen gases as well. Hydrogen and Oxygen gases are a great way to run your car. Some foreign countries are already using water as a fuel. Now America seems to be getting very close to using it. In California they are testing these types of cars right now, of course you do not need a special car engine to run these gases only a special intake hook up valve and collection inverter box.. Think about it; instead of going to a gas station to fill up on high price gas that pollutes our environment, you just stay at home and fill your car tank up with water instead. We have heard many back yard researchers are already doing this!

There is a man I talked to down in Kentucky who has been running his car from water for many years, and Stanley Meyers of Ohio ( USA) has developed a highly efficient and safe way to run your car on water in which he holds a US Patent on this method. The old way has been to store the Hydrogen and Oxygen gases in sealed gas tanks, but now that is no longer necessary, there is a safe and better way to produce these simple gases that could run any gasoline engine. Simply store the water in a holding tank and then use water pump to pump the water up into the carburetor area to a separation fuel cell box, giving the user power on demand! This is much safer than storing these gases in a tank. These gases are clear and have no odor, and when burned they again come together and produce water out of the end of the exhaust pipe in the form of water vapor and fresh air.. See this powerful US Patent for yourself! The exhaust water vapor could be collected and used again, directing it back into your water tank. And then the whole process starts all over again.

We reach the 21st century Aqua car....
