The revolutionary invention of the wheel

Image 1&2 : This image show that Mesopotamia civilization wheel.

The wheel is probably the most important mechanical invention of all time. Nearly every machine built since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution involves a single, basic principle embodied in one of mankind’s truly significant inventions.

The Beginning 3500 B.C. the wheel was seen in

Ancient Mesopotamia (potter’s wheel)

3200 B.C. the wheel was first seen used for transportation (Mesopotamian chariots)

Before the first wheel, many rollers were required to move objects.

This problem was overcome by the Flintstones

Further Innovations

2000 B.C. the Egyptians invented the first wheel with spokes.

They did this by carving the wheels to the right shape.

1000 B.C. iron rims where invented by the Celtics

Wire Spokes

1802: G.F. Bauer invented wire tension spoke.

Wire threaded through the entire wheel.

Within a few years, a new innovation was made to Bauer's design.

The Pneumatic Tire 1845: R. W. Thomson invented the

first pneumatic tire (filled with compressed air).

Leather tread, rubber inner tube.

1888 the pneumatic tire was reinvented by John Dunlop.

Outer tube made canvas covered by vulcanized rubber.

More Metal In 1926, steel welded-spoke

wheels were invented.

In the late 1960s, wheels started to be casted out of different alloys.

Magnesium alloy wheel on a Porsche Carrera GT.

The Future2006: the Wheel returns to

using a non-pneumatic solution.

The rolling surface consists of a rubber tread, bonded to the hub by flexible spokes.

The flexible spokes are fused with a deformable wheel that absorbs shocks and rebounds.

However, with the coming of the Industrial Revolution the wheel became the central component of technology, and came to be used in thousands of ways in countless different mechanisms.

It’s hard to imagine any mechanized system that would be possible without the wheel or the idea of a symmetrical component moving in a circular motion on an axis. From tiny watch gears to automobiles, jet engines and computer disk drives, the principle is the same.
