Snowcats keep people speeding
At this time, people must be very careful when traveling, because the surface is very slippery and you will fall if you are not careful. Therefore, in the harsh environment of the Arctic, cars are even more helpless. Cars will slip on the icy road or get stuck in the snow. , but this difficulty still does not faze people. In order to transport energy and materials in the ice and snow, scientists invented the snowmobile.
However, the snowmobiles commonly used by people today were finally formed through people’s efforts and a long period of improvement. The original appearance of the current snowmobile was born in the 1890s. At that time People artificially add some uneven structures to the relatively flat wheels of ordinary cars. Do you know why? Just to prevent slipping.
Later, people changed the unpowered rear wheels into sleds, so that cars could ski as freely as skiers.
With the development and advancement of technology, the tracks have become the new driving wheels of snowmobiles, providing forward power for snowmobiles and making them safer and more reliable. Today’s snowmobiles have made many improvements to adapt to the polar environment, and the technology has become more advanced. The weight of the snowmobile has also been reduced, and it is more agile and safer to drive.
If you observe carefully, you will find that the tracks of the snowmobile are connected to the engine. It is the engine that drives the tracks to roll forward, which makes the snowmobile run forward. So you must be a little curious, why do snowmobiles use tracks? What is the difference between it and the tires used on ordinary cars?
In fact, what kind of tires a car uses depends on what kind of road it drives on. This is the same as the shoes we can wear. Sports shoes are used on the sports field, hiking boots are used for mountain climbing, skates are used on the ice, and there are skates in the snow. sled.
The same is true for cars. When driving on the road, you can use ordinary tires. When driving on muddy or potholed roads, it will be better to choose an off-road vehicle with professional off-road tires, but it is very difficult to drive on snow. Because the snow is like soft soil, people will sink into it as soon as they step on it, let alone ordinary cars.
The crawler tracks are different from our common tires. They are not round, but strip-shaped. Our common excavators and tanks use crawler tracks. The crawler tracks are like skis. The contact area with the ground is very large, and the vehicle can be The weight is distributed over a larger surface, so that the snowmobile will not sink into soft snow even if it is loaded with weight.
In addition, many snowmobiles have nail-like structures on their tracks. When the tracks encounter particularly slippery ice and snow, these nails will be inserted into the ice and snow to ensure that the tracks can firmly grip the ice. surface so that the vehicle can move forward smoothly.
In the ice and snow, snowmobiles are truly the ultimate iron cow.
