Square wheel

From open-encyclopedia.com - the free encyclopedia.

A square wheel is a wheel that, instead of being circular, has the shape of a square. Such a wheel can roll smoothly if the ground consists of evenly shaped bumps of the right size and curvature. Stan Wagon, a mathematician at Macalester College, has constructed a bicycle with square wheels.
