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.

Ahhhhhhhh. So that is how it is different from Billy Lane's hubless motorcycle designs.

His versions of this concept use an $8000 helicopter main rotor bearing. So, I hope these guys source some cheaper parts.
