Abstract

The conforming wheel, an adaptive wheel machine with a flexible rim to alter its circumference and or its shape from circular to elliptical; spokes connecting the rim to the hub, a central hub providing the base of support for the spokes and mounting apparatus for the conforming wheel machine, and an axel receptacle in the hub for the wheel to rotate. A preferred embodiment includes: the spoke a piston cylinder apparatus in order to connect the flexible rim to the hub, as well as apply neutral, negative, and or positive force to the flexible rim, axel shaft, or other apparatuses.
