Fortunately, Canadian car buff William Liddiard has created the first (that we know of) truly omnidirectional wheels that can be bolted right on to a standard car. He mounted them on his Toyota ...

these wheels can be bolted onto any car without modifications Liddiard claims that unlike other omnidirectional wheels, his design doesn’t require any extra modifications to the car. They simply ...

Normally, if you need to rotate a car in a small space, you get a set of wheel dollies that pick the car up off the ground, using very little human effort. But what if your car could do that on ...

These wheels enable a car to move laterally along the ground. Inventor William Liddiard created these omnidirectional wheels and put them on his own car. Liddiard calls this "all-wheel drive." ...

and it is stunning to see a car move so nimbly, powered by Liddiard’s omnidirectional wheel design. Omnidirectional wheels are not entirely new, but Liddiard’s protoype shows them in action in ...

Omnidirectional wheels have been around for decades but that doesn't stop us imagining the day they'll finally become practical to use. The latest video to inspire this omnidirectional dreaming ...

William Liddiard fitted what appears to be a Toyota Echo with his own take on the omnidirectional wheel concept. His omni-wheels do not require extensive modifications to the car and can simply be ...

What if cars could turn on the spot ... Besides all the advantages omnidirectional wheels bring on their own (as the name suggests, the ability to go in any direction), Mr. Liddiard's solution ...

This is far from the first omnidirectional wheel concept, but it may be one of the more practical designs. Liddiard Wheels appear to be made from the same components as conventional car wheels ...

Omni-directional wheels that allow cars and other vehicles to go laterally as well as backwards and forwards and even turn 360 degrees have been around for some time. They are mainly used in ...

William Liddiard has created a set of omnidirectional tires, called Liddiard Wheels that allow his Toyota Echo to move side-to-side and even spin in circles. They can be used on almost any vehicle ...

Since the Eagle-360 is spherical, they are, as Popular Mechanics put it, "essentially omnidirectional." Any cars that use these wheels could drive forward and backward, strafe, and spin in place.
