Omni wheels or poly wheels, similar to mecanum wheels, are wheels with small discs around the circumference which are perpendicular to the rolling direction.

The Mecanum wheel is one design for a wheel which can move in any direction. It is sometimes called the Ilon wheel after its Swedish inventor, Bengt Ilon, who came up with the idea in 1973 when he was an engineer with the Swedish company Mecanum AB.

The Airtrax wheels are Mecanum wheels. Each wheel is comprised of a series of rollers, mounted so that their axis of rotation is 45 to the axis of the main wheel. As the wheels rotate in sync, the vehicle moves forwards or backwards normally, but by spinning pairs of wheels in opposite directions, the rollers enable sideways movement. Put it all together, and you can move laterally, diagonally, or spin in a circle.

This is a very good idea to save energy. Although this concept is not in market this time but it’ll surely make you tension free. Now you need to worry if you had forgotten batteries at home or they are discharged. Only the problem is “weather”. But in this case you may use your regular batteries. You may use solar strap as alternate. If you search over the net more about solar designs you’ll get more ideas like this. Many of them had implemented as well. Like folded & micro solar panels which may be suitable to charge your mobile phones or i-pod.
