wheel

A wheel is a circular component that is intended to rotate on an axle bearing. The wheel is one of the key components of the wheel and axle which is one of the six simple machines. Wheels, in conjunction with axles, allow heavy objects to be moved easily facilitating movement or transportation while supporting a load, or performing labor in machines. Wheels are also used for other purposes, such as a ship's wheel, steering wheel, potter's wheel, and flywheel.
Common examples can be found in transport applications. A wheel reduces friction by facilitating motion by rolling together with the use of axles. In order for wheels to rotate, a moment needs to be applied to the wheel about its axis, either by way of gravity or by the application of another external force or torque. Using the wheel, Sumerians invented a device that spins clay as a potter shapes it into the desired object.

    MG4 wheel swap efficiency hit tested

    Sorry if this was posted anywhere else, I couldn’t see it anywhere obvious but I’m hardly infallible. Headline results right there. Full video I’m kinda surprised it’s that much but then if it weren’t companies wouldn’t bother with aero wheels/trims in the first place.

    Heated seat and steering wheel keep turning off.

    Nearly every time I put the heated seat and steering wheel on it turns off when the HVAC screen closes, I have to open it and turn them on again. Am I missing a step or something when I turn them on ?
