Merge with hubless wheel
It has been proposed to merge the Osmos Wheel with the Hubless wheel article. I would strongly agree. It seems to me like the Osmos Wheel is a special case of the Hubless Wheel, where the axle is round, hollow and only slightly smaller then the wheel itself. The Hubless wheel article only metions the Osmos Wheel as an example anyway. There are other examples of hubless wheels, like the Hailfire droid from Star Wars or some Monowheel designs. In those other designs, there is not really such thing as an "axle" anymore. Instead, the Wheel is stiff and connected to the machine inside the wheel at just a few places.

So, is there a reason against merging them all into one article? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Krystman (talk • contribs) 15:37, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

I agree, the orbital wheel is a type of hubless wheel.DineshAdv (talk) 03:47, 5 August 2008 (UTC)
