Next up is a company hoping to change the transportation industry with an innovative space-age material.
00:00My name is Brian Yennie.
00:14I work from Los Angeles, California.
00:17Sharks imagine an everyday product that fails seven times per second in the US alone and generates 50 billion pounds of toxic waste every year.
00:21Now imagine that same product was first padded way back in 1847. 1847?
00:321847. That's so old the light bulb didn't exist yet.
00:38Look, we have put a man on the moon.
00:42We've put robots on Mars, but still this particular product hasn't changed much in over 100 years.
00:45That's right folks.
00:53The everyday rubber tire, the steel with air, the steel gets flat.
00:55And that's why we started the Smart Tire Company, the world's first high-performance airless tires made up of space-age materials.
01:00Using proprietary technology to first invent that NASA. Wow.
01:11We use an advanced material called Night-Nall.
01:15It's a shaped memory alloy that's elastic like rubber, yet strong like titanium.
01:19Shaped memory alloy, radio technology or smart, will change the way vehicles perform on and off-road.
01:25Smart tires make transportation safer.
01:33They're better for the environment and they're made right here in the USA. So sharks for $500, 000 in exchange for 2. 5% equity.
01:35Who wants to join us in re-imagining the wheel and building?
01:44The next great American Tire Company, the Smart Tire Company.
01:50Let me introduce what you're looking at here, these big shiny tires.
01:55So this is actually a spring tire.
02:00This was originally designed for missions to Mars, for lunar expeditions.
