The 1967 Gyro-X is a one-of-a-kind self-stabilizing two-wheeled wonder of the automotive world. Developed by aerospace engineer Tom Summers and designer Alex Tremulis, it was a fanciful approach to ...
This is a car from the 1960s that never made it to production. The prototype proved that a self balancing gyroscope car could work, but it was still years away from completion. Sadly the company went ...
Earth's axial precession is a gyroscopic wobble, analogous to a spinning top, causing its axis of rotation to trace a cone over time. The primary cause of Earth's precession is the gravitational ...
I do like stabiliser projects - whether Murata unicyclists or self-balancing tightrope walkers - and here's a "Stabiliser Zonai Device". We're talking DC motors and gyroscopic precession... Thanks to ...
