5 strange ideas from Japan 30s Bashny.Net

Car with spherical wheels





Vehicles moving on a few rubber balls of different sizes, the driver must provide a smoother ride than the standard four-wheel cars with rubber tires. In the event of an accident spherical wheels replace the airbag.
Currently spherical wheels are still only a concept. They are equipped with, for example, the car of the protagonist of the film "I, Robot", which takes place in 2035. Model futuristic vehicle was developed by Audi. For a while, even the automaker wanted to run it into production, however, still replacing bulky wheels on the standard. Another concept belongs to a group of students from California College of Engineering Charles Davidson: in 2012, they proposed a model elektromototsikl two spherical wheels.
The monorail



To move in the mountains, according to the magazine, will use a small two-wheeled monorail trains equipped with a propeller and a vertical stabilizer, tail-like part of the aircraft. This design should allow the train to develop greater speed and at the same time maintain a stable equilibrium. Another two wheels on the sides facing the outside of the train used to stop it.
High speed passenger plane



The aircraft of the future, according to the illustrator Matsuiro Murakami, will drive the two powerful turboprop engine in the fore part of the wider fuselage. In the 30s in many, especially European, countries, and in fact actively develop the production of high-speed twin-engine passenger planes. However, as would not be subsequently changed their design, the proposed model in a magazine and not have realized.
The safest passenger ship



In an emergency, the bow opens, releasing the freedom of a small fleet of boats, allowing passengers to evacuate quickly and safely.
High-speed patrol boat-tank



As a military transport paper presents a hybrid fighter aircraft, boats and tanks: floating vehicle on tracks with cabin for one person.
To some extent the implementation of this idea can be called a German project midget submarine with a crawler gear "Zeetoyfel» (Seeteufel), equipped with two torpedoes and machine guns. Its first launch was carried out in 1944; run into production it, for obvious reasons, have not yet. However, the first hybrid boats and tanks appeared even earlier in 1936 - at the end of the First World War, when in 1918 in Italy was built torpedo boat "Grillo» (Grillo) with tracks on the sides.
