Very interesting idea, though i am at a loss as to the intended use. It cannot be for regular refilling of the tires, which happens every 4 weeks max so... - military? after a shot to the tires have a sealant automatically close the hole, then refill the tire by your hubcap-pump while driving? |

really nice idea - bit over engineered for a monthly tyre pump though...mind you.... in a lazier society which doesn't do the monthly car pump - it would sell...harder tyres = more life = more mpg... |

on a side note..i often thought of putting my washing in a hub cap..... |

The intended use would be to completely replace regular filling of tires. When the car is being driven, the tires would be filled continuously, with excess air being vented by a small relief valve. |
|
| |
Of course, you'd still need to periodically check the tires' air pressure... but with this invention, low pressure could only be cause by actual punctures, not air diffusion through the rubber. |

What would the extra weight do to gas mileage? |

I'm sure I've heard of this for Land Rovers. |
