ABSTRACT:
A variable shaped wheel having a hub, a plurality of extendable ram rods connecting the hub and shape adaptable rim. Extension and retraction of the ram rods cause the rim to harmonize to a selected wheel shape such as horizontal oval, vertical oval, elliptical, tractor like and numerous other shapes, when stationary and while moving. The selected shape of the variable wheel in motion is maintained by continual length adjustment of the ram rods. The variable shaped wheel adjusts to the most effective, efficient shape for travel over varying surfaces such as asphalt, concrete, sand, mud, rock, snow, ice and others, providing optimum speed and comfort. It is another purpose of the present invention, through change in shape of the variable wheel, pulley, gear from conventional circular to oval, elliptical, and shapes other than circular, to make contact at the periphery along the elongated axis with another wheel, pulley, gear, providing for simple and effective rotational energy transmission from one wheel, pulley, gear, to another.
