9560678 Kwan This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project addresses a novel concept in amphibious vehicles. The vehicle would drive on normal roads at customary speeds and yet provide off-road traction equal to that of tracked vehicles. It would utilize a series of co-axial half wheels in tandem, adjusted and synchronized to maintain road contact at constant height above ground and thus maintain smooth vehicular movement at speed. When operating in water, the half wheels provide efficient propulsion, with no wheel adjustment required in landing on a beach. Phase I will conduct feasibility tests with a powered model. Commercial applications are potentially in use as amphibious vehicles for recreational and rescue purposes. It may also find use at farm and construction sites while affording convenient travel on conventional raods at normal speeds.

小行星9560678 这个小企业创新研究（SBIR）第一阶段项目解决了两栖车辆的新概念。 车辆将以常规速度在正常道路上行驶，但仍提供与履带式车辆相同的越野牵引力。 它将利用一系列同轴半轮串联，调整和同步，以保持路面接触在恒定的高度以上的地面，从而保持平稳的车辆运动的速度。 当在水中操作时，半轮提供有效的推进力，在海滩上着陆时不需要调整轮。 第一阶段将使用动力模型进行可行性测试。 商业应用可能用作娱乐和救援目的的两栖车辆。 它也可以在农场和建筑工地使用，同时以正常速度在传统道路上提供方便的旅行。
