What would happen if you tried to make a bicycle tire out of a square?

Tires for bicycles used for transportation are generally round. However, YouTube channel

The Q , which has previously created ' groundbreaking bicycle tires that are less likely to get punctured ' using tennis balls, has developed a square bicycle tire.

The Q is playing the game.

The tires of the car, which were represented using rough polygons, were in fact square.

The Q saw the square tire and seemed to have an idea.

I prepared a square metal pipe.

First, polish the surface to remove any rust.

Use a ruler to mark the size of your bicycle tire.

Cut in half with a disc grinder.

The metal pipe was cut in half.

Then mark the corners with a pen.

Cut again with a disc grinder.

The four processed parts are combined to form a square.

Welding the parts together.

Pass the pipes through the four corners and attach the gears.

Drill more holes.

The bicycle

spokes are finished.

Spray paint them white.

The Q pulls out a bike chain.

A metal plate is attached and welded between the two chains.

The completed chain looks like this. It is shaped like a ladder.

The Q also provides tires.

Cut out only the grooves of the tire.

The cut grooved part is cut into smaller strips.

Attach it to the chain you just used.

Metal bearings are installed in the rim area.

Then wrap the chain with the tire you created earlier around the rim.

By hiding the sides with a frame, you can create a square tire.

Remove the regular tires from your bike.

Fix the square tires this time.

The completed tire and bike look like this.

Let's actually try riding it.

The bicycle moves smoothly like

a caterpillar , but it seems that a 'grinding' sound is generated, where metal rubs against metal, which is not emitted from normal tires.
