N-Wheeled Vehicles
- Animats 3y agoThe current record seems to be 1,536 wheels. Mammoet, the heavy-lift company, ganged together enough self-propelled modular transporters [1] to move a ship on land.[2] Each unit has 8 independently powered and steered axle lines, for 16 wheels. As many modules as necessary can be bolted together to make a huge moving platform. They're all networked, and coordinate steering and power.

- yencabulator 3y agoThe page disqualifies combinations where a "propelling unit" can be driven separately from a "trailer". This seems to fall under that same classifications; this is multiple attached vehicles, not a single vehicle.

- tetris11 3y agoThe 9-wheeler does have brakes, it's a fixed gear bike - so you just have to stop pedalling to do a hard brake.
- carlob 3y agoI would say it has a way to stop and slow down, but a fixie does not have brakes by any definition of the word brake.
- tetris11 3y agoMerriam Webster for break (ˈbrāk) > 1 : a device for arresting or preventing the motion of a mechanism usually by means of friction > 2 : something used to slow down or stop movement or activity I think it holds.

- wjholden 3y agoHTTPS is indeed a good thing, but I actually felt some nostalgia looking at this site. It reminds me of the independent passion projects people made in FrontPage in the late 1990s, before Wikipedia and Facebook.
- wgj 3y agoOff topic, but Douglas Self is also the author of several remarkably good audio electronics books. For example, http://www.douglas-self.com/ampins/books/ssad3.htm http://www.douglas-self.com/ampins/books/ssad3.htm .
