1. A solid vacuum wheel and tire assembly, comprising of a vacuum wheel assembly and a solid vacuum tire, wherein the solid vacuum tire is comprised of a flexible center tire core comprising of solid or porous rubber textiles, or a jell and hardener mixture that mimics pneumatic tire rigidity and further surrounded by a resilient tire tread rubber, wherein a vacuum valve assembly may be installed into a vacuum channel, wherein the vacuum valve assembly is installed into the vacuum wheel, wherein the solid vacuum tire is installed onto the vacuum wheel assembly, wherein the flexible center tire core of the solid vacuum tire compresses, seals and adheres directly into place onto the vacuum wheel well surface and wheel rims while a vacuum is applied, wherein the flexible center tire core compresses, seals and adheres directly against the vacuum wheel well surface and wheel rims and remains in place during vehicle operation after the vacuum is applied, wherein a vacuum seal is created by the vacuum compressing the flexible center tire core into a void that is present before the vacuum is applied between the flexible center tire core and the vacuum wheel, wherein the solid vacuum tire remains in place and directly in contact with the vacuum wheel assembly during non-pneumatic vehicle operation, wherein a spacer belt may optionally be installed onto the vacuum wheel in order to save space or weight, wherein a removal of the solid vacuum tire is accomplished by releasing the vacuum seal and replacing the solid vacuum tire. |
