Re: Water tires experiment/need contributions

One thing everyone is neglecting to consider are the laws of fluid
dynamics.

1) the water will behave more and more like a solid and the volume of
the tire (not the tube) is approached. Werehatrack noted that the
pressure increase would be abrupt. This is certainly true, and the
limited expandability of the tire will make it exceptionally more hard
as you try to force more water in. However, the flexibility of the tire
wall will allow only for a certain level of compliance. I'm thinkin'
you won't get no stinkin' snakebites.

2) since water is in fact a fluid, as you accelerate, the mass of water
in the tube will attempt to stay stationary. This will have a massive
braking effect, much greater than the influence of greater weight. As
you eventually get the rotational mass moving, you will experience a
significant hydraulic flywheel effect. This is the same technology that
is used in torque converters for automatic transmissions. The effect of
the spinning hydaulic fluid keeps the vehicle speed differential to a
minimum. Performance cars tend to use smaller torque converters to
allow for quicker throttle response, while luxury cars tend to use
larger torque converters to mask the shifts and variations in engine
speed associated with them. Therefore, the rotating fluid in the tires
would help to overcome the effects on rolling resistance and help the
bike keep moving, as well reduce braking performance and acceleration.
