My wheel will get power through piezoelectricity by using polycrystalline ceramics inside the outer layer of the wheel. The outer layer is made of Fe-Mn-Si shape memory alloy(sma) added with chromium and nickel because it is very corrosive resistant. The outside layer will be embedded with carbon fiber grousers made with interlocking triangles so the rover can get out of sandy areas. The wheel will have solar panels and a camera that can be positioned and docked remotely. A pressurized air tube will go up and down the solar panels and vacuum the dust on the solar panels. The inner layer of the wheel will have shock displacers made out of a titanium carbon fiber composite. The inner layer of the wheel will also have sheets of thermoplastic olefin to bend with the shock absorbers to minimize all damage, and to let the rover explore very rocky and tough terrain.
