An innovative engineer has created a bicycle that works with square wheels, defying the laws of physics and surprising internet users. The unusual invention gained prominence on social media and proves that creativity in engineering has no limits.
Inspired by the world of gaming, an engineer decided to reinvent the bicycle. Instead of the classic circular wheels, he created a model that moves with square wheels. Yes, square. And the most curious thing: they actually work.
A project that plays with the mind
The first thing that catches your eye is the look. The wheels are square in shape and, even when they are moving, the spokes appear to be still. It is an effect that confuses the brain for a few seconds. But there is a technical explanation for everything.
The creator began the project with two square-shaped metal frames. At each corner, he welded small tubes to support shafts with two sprockets each. These sprockets were connected to regular bicycle chains.

Tank-like system
The chains, in turn, form a kind of track, similar to the tracks used in war tanks. To maintain the structure firm, the engineer added small metal strips every four centimeters between the chains.
On the outside, strips of bicycle tires were glued. Inside the frames, small round wheels help keep everything moving. After painting and assembling, all that was left was to fit the square wheels onto the bicycle frame. The pedals drive the rear wheel, as on any regular bicycle.
Curious and functional result
The end result is surprising. The bike has square wheels, and the unusual look is part of its charm. For those who want to understand all the details, the best thing to do is watch the full video of the project. It's worth seeing to believe.
