Rolling resistance originates from structural bending
HERE’S THE INTERESTING PART
A perfect wheel on a perfect surface would roll for eternity. Unfortunately, real wheels physically squash and deform under weight as they turn. This constant, exhausting flattening and un-flattening creates rolling resistance. You aren't just fighting the ground; you are fighting the agonizing structural distortion of the wheel itself with every rotation.
One discovery leads to another.
