Why Not? There is, most often, a better way!

Answer:

This expression means "Everything is as good as it ever will be, so don't bother with change." However when you look at the Wankel Engine you will see what happens when you do (specifically) reinvent the wheel. The core of this engine is a new shape that, at one level, acts exactly like a wheel. As it rotates the top extreme edge is always the same distance from the contact between the surface it rolls on. Just like wheel. However due to its unique shape it can be used to create progressive cavities to power a car just like pistons. SOmething a wheel could never do.

Other reinvented wheels include:

  • Mouldy bread becoming penicillin
  • Iron becoming steel
  • Tubeless tires
  • Burnt sulfur contaminated rubber becoming vulcanized
  • Champagne
  • Cheese
  • Cooked food
