Usage examples of rollers.

Petrovsky's vehicle kept spinning, trailing wisps of hot vapor from its rollers, cold gas from its yaw/antispin jets, but it was hopelessly out of control and went whirling off the roadbed, past the shoulder and onto the ice.

Besides, all you'd be doing would be to send the rollers to their frictional base states, and they become like superslippery bald tires.

The rollers would go independent for a fraction of a second as they each go through their friction curves from base state to maximum traction until the backups cut in.

But in fact, it was all the front drive rollers coming to the peak of their grab-factor curves before the back ones did.

I've been with Marty, seen her navigate a portal approach with three bad rollers in an eighty-klick-per-hour crosswind.

The grade neared forty degrees on some stretches, and the rollers were polarized to maximum grab.

I finally regained control and found that we were on the shoulder near Petrovsky's vehicle, with our left rollers on the ice and the right marker dead in our path.

I didn't want to reverse the transmission, thinking that the rasp of the rollers would only irritate Fiona more.

Fortunately the floor sloped downward and away, and the front rollers hit neatly.

So please obtain a decent bid on those rollers and get Arik off my back.

But no, the hollow rollers performed as planned, the bridge heaved to the surface and, with one tank riding it, eerily swam straight across.

The first rollers follow over the top, and the bridge begins to move more easily and a little faster, as the drag of gravity behind decreases.

The first rollers slide down the embankment, hit with a towering splash, and float.

We crossed the Canal on a giant prefabricated steel structure floating on rollers, and Nitzan told me how its construction was forced on Israel because they couldn't buy mobile bridges from us or anyone else.

Solid iron rollers, rather than the current iron-hooped wooden rollers, would be nice, but changing from smooth rollers to "toothed" rollers will produce a more aggressive crush.
