Background
A pneumatic, or air-filled, tire is made of an airtight inner core filled with
pressurized air. A tread, usually reinforced with steel belting or other materials,
covers this inner core and provides the contact area with the road. The tires air
pressure provides resistance against forces that try to deform the tire, but it gives
to a certain degree -a cushioning effect as the tire hits bumps in the road.
Another problem with pneumatic tires involves variations in air pressure and tire
performance. Lower tire pressure can create improved traction (and increased
comfort), because the tires flatten slightly, placing more tread in contact with the
road. However, the pressure inside the tire doesnt just maintain up and down
stiffness - it also maintains the lateral stiffness of the tire. Reduced air pressure
allows the tire sidewalls to flex, which unfortunately results in poor handling.
Whilst the NPT will not go flat if hit by sharp objects. This is the best tire type for
military vehicles. It will safeguard the U.S. military personnel by providing
continuous mobility during hostile events.
A handcart is pulled or pushed by one or more people. It is different from a dray
or wagon, which is a heavy transport vehicle with four wheels and typically two or
more horses, or a carriage, which is used exclusively for transporting humans.
2. Problem/s

What are the differences between the two wheels?


Why non-pneumatic tires are more efficient in normal cars?
Why pneumatic tires are not effective in pushcarts and military tanks?

3. Objective/s
To determine that pneumatic tires are more efficient in cars than non-pneumatics
for daily use.
To determine the certain use of pneumatic and non-pneumatic tires.
4. Scope and limitation
This experiment will attest that pneumatic tire is more effective for daily use in
normal cars.
(The experiment is the most appropriate type of wheel for a car. It can answer the
problem, which talks about the difference of the two wheels. The experiment
intends to)
