Claimed efficiency... yeah, "my car design will be efficient in the future - i just need a streamline body with no space for other passengers or luggage, and it is only relative efficient when driving at higher speeds to offset the gyros powerneeds - and it is unstable at slow speeds, in tight corners and high speeds, and the gyro is a massive safety hazard". It is an interesting car, but practicality is kinda like that of a jet pack - it looks cool.

[@bungaplayz228]

Maybe a similar concept with a battery would work better. Putting a li-ion battery pack in the bottom of the vehicle would increase stability and make more room where the original engine would be, and this space could presumably be for a second passenger or a trunk. A unique concept and I'm sure it could sell if marketed correctly as a sport or luxury vehicle. It's certainly innovative enough.

[@Владислав-ы9м5у]

Hey, how about pit-stained roads?

The intensity of the vibrations would depend on the tolerances of the mechanism, and since this would've been manufactured by industrial grade machinery, those tolerances would likely have been too small for any vibrations to be noticeable.

[@PaulJosephdeWerk]

No, because with a vertical axis rotor, if the car tilted it would the gyro would try to lift either the front or back of the car, and making horizontal adjustments like in the video would do nothing. Vertical axis gyros are used to determine the roll or pitch of a ship or aircraft.

When going downhill, the car balances on just the rear wheel. When going down a steep hill, the rear fender gets scraped off. When you drive too far in a straight line, the nose pitches up. Do it in reverse and the rear pitches up. Regardless, keep the car running for 12 consecutive hours and it will try to flip itself upside down.

[@mikegLXIVMM]

Is this true? This has been tried a few times: Shilovsky's gyrocar in 1914 Gyro-X, 1960's Lit Motors, C1, 2010. All of them failed. I figure there were hidden problems in this design. I've never seen the C1 from Lit motors demonstrated on anything but a parking lot at slow speeds.

Hi, Jared - as ever, I really enjoyed your video. In this case, however, I was left a little confused as to quite how the precessional ram receives its inputs. If, for example, the Gyro X were stationary, received an impulse from a sudden brief gust of wind and began to tilt to one side, how would this tilting motion be detected by the car and translated into a compensatory movement of the ram? I hope I´m not being too obtuse...

[@JaredOwen]

Yeah I'm somewhat vague on this as well - the mechanisms refer to this as the "control system." Beyond that I don't know too much

[@Del350K4]

@@JaredOwen Well, the ram´s obviously a two-way item which can be pressure-fed from either end, and there´s presumably a reservoir of pressurised hydraulic fluid and two valves, one for each direction of travel. I did wonder whether these valves might be controlled by a linkage originating from another, far smaller gyro, whose response to inputs was thus being employed to operate those valves sufficiently quickly to keep the vehicle balanced. In the absence of electronic control it´s hard to think of another way in which the engineers might have done it...

I've always wondered how electric Hair trimmers work.

[@quillmaurer6563]

I once opened one up to fix and figured out how it works. There is a mechanism that moves side to side that basically works as a spring and electromagnet. When connected to AC current, the current through - and force by - the electromagnet reverses at 60 hz (in the US anyway). This moves the spring-loaded bar with a magnet on it side to side. As the bar moves the back-EMF (Electro-Motive Force) of the moving magnet fights the current flow through the electromagnet, limiting the current flowing through it - if there is more resistance to movement more current will flow. If it is jammed there will be no back EMF and the current will be very high, likely blowing a circuit breaker - if I remember right this was why I needed to take apart and fix it. This moving bar moves the blades back and fourth. Would all make more sense if you open one up. An animation would be pretty interesting.
