New solution to an old problem. This innovation is just great! I can imagine that the tweel provides more shock absorbents than the conventional air wheel.
How I theorized this is during impact the conventional air wheel creates shockwaves that travel via the compressed air and this distributes the impact throughout the whole wheel and also into the axle. At 30-40psi air is not compressible enough to absorb shocks. With the tweel the impact is absorbed and dissipated only among the localized spokes. The spokes deformed and distort to absorb all the impact. Hence the shocks are localized and doesn't dissipate through the axle.
