GRÜNE HELDEN: The Tyre Collective

Zoomin.TV Deutschland

The Tyre Collective mindert Emissionen, indem es Reifenpartikel unmittelbar an der Kontaktfläche auffängt und so für saubere Luft und den Schutz unserer Umwelt und Gesundheit sorgt.

Transcript

00:00Tire wear is actually the second largest microplastic pollutant in our oceans and not only that but

00:13they become airborne at the roadside.

00:29This is our proof of concept prototype.

00:31The tire is driven by a motor where it's in contact with a static road which mimics

00:37the car constantly skidding and our prototype is powered then by a dynamo at the top and

00:44the electrostatic plates at the bottom is where the particles are captured at source.

00:48So on a real vehicle this would be positioned right behind the tire as close to the contact

00:52patch as possible.

00:58By capturing at source we prevent these particles from entering the environment as a whole and

01:02therefore we're more effective than other devices that might work at the roadside.

01:23Most vehicles produce more tire wear due to their increased torque and battery weight

01:28but as we transition to EVs it's important that we are proactive rather than reactive

01:33when it comes to tire wear.

01:34So we're not trying to clean up this problem when it's already too late.
