Hexawheel: A Little Matter for the Imagination

I ran across this article on a Benz concept design and thought this had some interesting ideas. Gets a guy thinking....

Note the diesel plant is in rear and it all uses a hydraulic scheme to distribute power to each axle.

Howdy! Already been done many years ago. The Army called it a Gamma Goat. Not nearly as coordinated as it looks in the diagrams. Not hyway friendly. But it is interesting to think about. John

Correct.

The US war machine had this concept in use years ago.

I like this version better. I spotted this at the Indy Jambo years ago.
