Pablo Wheel Theory

Pablo Alegre, an Australian theorist proposed the a wheel theory which can be broadly stated as "If a wheel was large enough, it would be able to roll over houses, trees, mountains..." A practical method of construction for such a wheel was never outlined. Such a structure would be subject to severe environmental stresses (particularly at larger sizes), such as wind loads. It is believed Alegre thought of constructing a vehicle using a number of such wheels to perform remote (possibly unmanned) exploration of remote areas of Australia.
