Ball Tank















Popular Science, July 1936 described it as "a giant ball, a
high-speed "tumbleweed tank" with a spherical hollow steel
driving cab, enclosed by a rotating outer shell... The inventor
states that the tank’s spherical shape presents the smallest
possible target for enemy bombs or shells, and all but direct
hits would glance off its curved sides." Not so impractical,
after all, regardless of how crazy it looks.
