Reinventing the Wheel: Spokeless Wheelchair That Prevents Injury | Ankith Girish | TEDxMeritAcademy

Wheelchairs pose significant hazards to their users, whose injuries commonly result from tips, falls, and entanglements in the open spokes. Ankith has developed a unique solution to the problem by designing a spokeless wheelchair. His design reduces the risk of injuries by offering enhanced stability, maneuverability, and a sleek, modern look. Ankith is a high school student exploring the world of engineering and its endless possibilities for improving all of our lives. He is also an imaginative builder and engineer who loves the thrill of solving problems in uncommon ways. Through experimentation, he recently discovered a unique solution for mobility-impaired persons, and turned a sketch into a detailed CAD model and functional 3D printed prototype for a spokeless wheelchair awaiting a possible U.S. patent. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
