Automotive Steer Wheels of Car 90 Degrees: Possible? How?

AI Thread Summary
Steering a conventional automobile's wheels through 90 degrees is not feasible without significant modifications. Achieving this would require implementing a 4-wheel steering system, which allows for greater maneuverability. However, the necessary changes to the vehicle would be extensive and complex. The discussion raises questions about the purpose behind wanting such a steering capability. Overall, steering a car's wheels to that degree is theoretically possible but practically challenging.

can anybody tell me is it possible to steer the wheels of a car through 90 degree? if yes how?

If you're talking about a conventional automobile, no.
 
what changes must be done to achieve it?

4-wheel steering. Have you never seen that before?

Everything. Literally, everything.

For what purpose do you want to explore this subject?
 
How did you find PF?: Via Google search Hi, I have a vessel I 3D printed to investigate single bubble rise. The vessel has a 4 mm gap separated by acrylic panels. This is essentially my viewing chamber where I can record the bubble motion. The vessel is open to atmosphere. The bubble generation mechanism is composed of a syringe pump and glass capillary tube (Internal Diameter of 0.45 mm). I connect a 1/4” air line hose from the syringe to the capillary The bubble is formed at the tip...
Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'
Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...
I'd like to create a thread with links to 3-D Printer resources, including printers and software package suggestions. My motivations are selfish, as I have a 3-D printed project that I'm working on, and I'd like to buy a simple printer and use low cost software to make the first prototype. There are some previous threads about 3-D printing like this: https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/are-3d-printers-easy-to-use-yet.917489/ but none that address the overall topic (unless I've missed...
