The wheel is probably the most important mechanical
invention of all time. Nearly every machine built since the
beginning of the Industrial Revolution involves a single, basic
principle embodied in one of mankind’s truly significant
inventions.

4. The Beginning
3500 B.C. the wheel was seen in
Ancient Mesopotamia (potter’s
wheel)
3200 B.C. the wheel was first seen
used for transportation
(Mesopotamian chariots)
Before the first wheel, many
rollers were required to move
objects.
This problem was overcome by
the Flintstones

8. Further
Innovations
2000 B.C. the Egyptians
invented the first wheel with
spokes.
They did this by carving the
wheels to the right shape.
 1000 B.C. iron rims where
invented by the Celtics

9. Wire Spokes
1802: G.F. Bauer invented
wire tension spoke.
Wire threaded through the
entire wheel.
Within a few years, a new
innovation was made to
Bauer's design.

10. The Pneumatic Tire
1845: R. W. Thomson invented the
first pneumatic tire (filled with
compressed air).
 Leather tread, rubber inner tube.
1888 the pneumatic tire was
reinvented by John Dunlop.
Outer tube made canvas
covered by vulcanized rubber.

11. More Metal
In 1926, steel welded-spoke
wheels were invented.
In the late 1960s, wheels started
to be casted out of different
alloys.
Magnesium alloy wheel on a
Porsche Carrera GT.

12. The Future
2006: the Wheel returns to
using a non-pneumatic
solution.
The rolling surface consists
of a rubber tread, bonded to
the hub by flexible spokes.
The flexible spokes are
fused with a deformable
wheel that absorbs shocks
and rebounds.

13. However, with the coming of the Industrial Revolution the wheel
became the central component of technology, and came to be used in
thousands of ways in countless different mechanisms.

It’s hard to imagine any mechanized system that would be
possible without the wheel or the idea of a symmetrical
component moving in a circular motion on an axis. From tiny
watch gears to automobiles, jet engines and computer disk
drives, the principle is the same.
