A recessed portion is formed in each tire side portion of an agricultural machinery pneumatic tire. Rigidity at the part of each tire side portion where the recessed portion is formed is reduced. This enables each tire radial direction outside portion to be made to tilt over toward tire width direction outside with the recessed portion as a point of origin without reducing the internal pressure, enabling the ground contact width of a tread portion to be enlarged. Since there is no need to intentionally reduce the internal pressure in order to reduce the ground contact pressure, bead portions do not tilt over more than necessary, and there is no reduction in the durability of the bead portions. 1.

SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MODIFIED TIRE RIMS FOR USE WITH GRAVITY-DRIVEN AUTOMATIC TIRE PUMPS AND GENERATORS

Номер: US20170015158A1

Автор: McClellan Scott

Принадлежит:

Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for gravity-driven pumps and generators, as well as various supporting concepts, mechanisms, and approaches. As a tire rotates around an axle, the pull of gravity varies for a given point on the tire. While gravity is always pulling ‘down’, the force relative to a fixed point on the tire changes. Gravity-driven generators exploit these changes in gravitational force to do work. A gravity-driven generator is different from an automatic pump that operates using centrifugal force due to rotation of a tire. Automatic, gravity-driven generators can be used to generate and store energy to perform such tasks as inflating tires to offset the natural gas leakage of modern tires, and can maintain tire pressure and inflation within a desired or optimal range. Tire rims can be modified to accommodate these pumps. 1. A system comprising:a tire rim with an outer surface onto which an inflatable tire can be mounted;a first hole configured within the tire rim for an inflation stem; andat least one second hole configured within the tire rim for a fixedly attached electricity generator configured to generate electricity via rotational motion of the tire rim about an axis that causes gravity to move a generation element of the fixedly attached electricity generator in a first direction at a first rotational position to yield a first generator stroke, and with rotation of the tire rim, causes gravity to move the generation element in a second direction at a second rotational position to yield a second generator stroke, wherein the first generator stroke and the second generator stroke cause electricity to be generated.2. The system of claim 1 , further comprising:a mounting area in the tire rim into which the fixedly attached electricity generator can be inserted so the fixedly attached electricity generator is flush with an outer surface of the tire rim.3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the fixedly attached ...
