Cool stuff from gizmag

• Internal combustion/steam hybrid from BMW -- The powertrain is retrofittable into existing vehicles, down to a 4-cylinder 3-series
• French company Osmos "reinvents the wheel" -- hubless "orbital" wheel offers numerous advantages, they claim
• Peugeot shows off two-seater electric "city car" concept -- you enter and leave through the center of the hubless wheels

Some of these may be old.  But they're still cool.

I agree, that does seem a weak point. I don't know what, if anything, they've done to address it; the article is short on details of that. (More diagrams of the wheel mechanism itself would be helpful.)
