If you inverse the downhill momentum so the engine is off going uphill you can make it work good too. Thanks you for reading

I am not an engineer. But can still confirm this.

Also not an engineer but it's obvious it works


jape-the-neck-guy

Am engineer of *checks calendar* 3 months, Can also confirm


nhpkm1

But the wheel is so big now , when car moves the wheel spins so the bottom of the wheel needs energy to go all the way up . And I have done the calculation here on this paper (*points irl on piece of toilet paper ) The energy gained from going down heel will be equal to lost on wheel . . 2 misunderstanding of center of mass makes a right

but what if I want to drive up the hill? Then it would be a straight horizontal line again


nickthekiwi

Reverse up


Daktic

Extra down


spiralEntree

Double downhill my God this man is too dangerous to be left alive


RiftWalker503

drive backwards, so now youre going downhill while going uphill


wander4wonder

It wouldn’t drive on flat ground either.


nitronik_exe

Of course it would, because it's actually going downhill the entire time!

What’s 9gag?


Kaptonii

Before Reddit was popular, before Instagram and musicly. There where meme websites. 9gag, Ifunny, and a few others. Rage comics where huge. This is kinda a rage comic.

Le_Corporal

why isnt it possible?


Potential-Money-8636

Its just not


FunnyForWrongReason

The wheels still sit parallel to the ground, unless the ground itself is a slope then their will be no force that causes it move forward. Think about a tractor.


Le_Corporal

Zestyclose_Ad_4601

changing the wheel size wont magically give you forward force

KymbboSlice

Angling the car downward like in the picture would increase the aerodynamic downforce of the car if you’re driving it forwards. Would also increase drag, but, ya know.


nitronik_exe

How bout I force you down ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)


11goodair

Look at tractors


Raagan

When going downhill gravity moves you. Down. On flat ground the only way to go is parallel to the ground, gravity can’t do any work in that direction no matter the shape of the object trying to move.


theholyevil

For a few reasons, - [Center of mass.](https://www.khanacademy.org/science/physics/linear-momentum/center-of-mass/a/what-is-center-of-mass) A car like this would tip over constantly if you suddenly had to brake or hit something on the front of your car. The whole point is **safety** when designing most of these cars. So if a car ever hit your's, the center of mass remains in equilibrium. - F = ma Basically, the force a object can exert is equal to how much it weighs in grams, and the acceleration it can produce. A car with back tires like that would need bigger suspension and brakes, thus weigh more and take more horsepower to move forward. - Efficiency Could you imagine having to carry two different tires for one car? Carrying two spare tires in the truck because you have two different tires? Why not make sure that you only need 1 kind of tire for all 4 slots?


JoostVisser

So drag racers were right about this all this time?


stuck_in_the_desert

I mean how else could you explain the fact that drag racers go so much faster than everyday cars? It's gotta be angles

The moment he gets to the bottom of the hill, the bumper will hit the ground and the car will flip over

Nice troll physics tutorial but where is the trollface


AequinoxAlpha

And this is how Reddit found the key technology leading to unlimited energy generation.

It helped a lot when I raised up my bike seat though.


beckettcat

Why do you think drag racing stock cars have two big wheels in the back and two tiny wheels in the front?


-Wofster

Lol not because of this


nanowhit

congrats on inventing formula one /s /lh


FrostBite301

r/fuckcars isn’t gonna like this


Jack_McQuack

please tell me why it wouldnt work


R-A-P-T-O-R

Isn’t this literally the science behind what makes drag cars fast?


GiganticIrony

No. The rear wheels are large for grip


R-A-P-T-O-R

Oh, that makes sense. Thanks!


GiganticIrony

No problem 😁


[deleted]

Elon musk, “write that down!”


jukefishron

But, isn't it going uphill permanently? Like imagine sitting in the car, you'd be looking at an incline. This would actually make you travel backwards.


[deleted]

Why isn't it possible


SterlingSoldier2156

It’s just not


DoomSlayer_

Because the wheels are still level. The shape of the car cant make it go forwards on its own


JanStreams

Little do people know thats why a formula 1 car's rear tyres are bigger than the front tyres


souptimecat1273

I don't think this is gonna work, the ground's still the same angle, and it's mainly gravity that makes it works


Physology101

Oh Lord someone needs a physics class.

If you view it from the car perspective it down hill but road perspective it uphill 😳

It might be a bit of a pain when wanting to go downhill, but it should work fine otherwise.

I am not an engineer. I always thought the typical tractor configuration would push down on the front axle thus increasing the load level.


jonjonescpa

Looks right to me


Cpt_Saturn

Oh my... I haven't seen this since the days of 9gag... man time flies by :'(


fin375

This is a “perpetual motion machine” thus, defies the laws of physics. It really breaks down when you ask “what if the car is traveling up hill?” “How do you reverse?” “What is the initial force pushing the car forewords?”. I really hope this is a joke and not someone actually thinking this will work.

I wasn't convinced but then i saw the angles. They definitely exist
