Boy1 (the mechanical engineer and road cyclist, remember) sent me this link for a giggle. Apparently the Canadian company that came up with it is serious enough to have applied for a US patent, on the grounds that it offers all the benefits of an e-bike without a battery or a motor, but it looks more like a fool-and-money separator to us. www.superwheelsystem.com/ |

Spectacular bollocks.
Somehow uncompressing the spring gives you energy over and above the energy it cost to compress it?
Utter garbage, patent or not.

We may have got this all wrong, stuck as we are in the O-level world of Newtonian mechanics. This thing uses mass-to-energy conversion technology. That’s Einstein’s domain, in which case we just might need more than a chamois pad in our shorts.
