Self-balancing Gyroscopic Transport will allow you to travel without traffic jams

Gyroscopic Transport system relies heavily on a gyroscope, which consists of a metal wheel mounted on an axle, the wheel and an axle spin freely secured in a metal frame. This simple device can behave in most unexpected ways. The components of this simple mechanism are obvious and don’t seem to have any special capabilities. When try to stand it on one end and it falls over and try to suspend it sideways and it drops. However, it can defy gravity when you spin the wheel and the behavior changes. The first things to notice about spinning gyroscope is that it resists attempts to change its position. When you try to tilt or rotate the gyro, it provides resistance. When the spinning wheel is in action, it creates a force that allows it to stand upright.  The force created by the spinning wheel of a gyroscope can also allow it to levitate when it is hinging sideways from a surface. This phenomenon is so powerful that a spinning gyroscope can even balance on a string. The rotating wheel has angular momentum, similar to the momentum that a stone flying through the air. To change the direction of the stone requires a force. Similarly, changing the orientation of the rotating wheel requires force. The spinning wheel prefers to stay oriented as it is and resists any attempt to change that orientation. The fact that a gyroscope can maintain a particular orientation in space is very useful. In an aircraft, a guiding system uses a spinning gyroscope to monitor and control the orientation of the aircraft. The gyroscope is suspended in a special cage that allows it to maintain its orientation independent of the aircraft’s position. The spinning gyroscope provides stability and navigational information, and it has become a central component of any modern Smartphone, Aircrafts, Ships, Robots, or Spacecrafts.

During the beginning of last century, Russian inventor Pyotr Shilovsky, created a working prototype of a two wheeler gyro car and a mono wheeler train. At the same time, Anglo-Australian engineer, Louis Brennan, also build and successfully tested a gyroscopic monorail locomotive. Such machines are based on the principle of Gyroscope. Thanks to the ramped-up flywheel, a gyroscope keeps the same direction of the rotation axis and effectively resists the effect of external moments of force. This means that as long as the flywheel maintains the necessary rotational speed, the car remains stable. This is precisely why the first gyro cars failed. Those days, engines often stalled and if the flywheel stopped then the car would just fall over onto its side. Over the last 100 years, immense progress has been achieved in this field. Today, engines are incredibly reliable and it’s time to revisit the idea of gyro transport.

A Russian design company, Dahir Insaat, took inspiration from recent developments in the area of electric motor control and developed a gyrocar that meets all current safety requirements. In modern cities where problem of traffic jams is of particular importance, and its physically and financially impossible to expand roads and builds tunnels and ramps. The only solutions is to utilize the unused road medium.  Urban transportation can greatly benefit from a automobile that relies on gyroscope for stability and navigation.

The main feature of a gyro car is its ability to fit into the existing road infrastructure while remaining independent from the rest of traffic flow on the roads. Thanks to the small bearing section and light composite body, such a car can quickly move down a special fortified strip between lanes and over the rest of traffic, creating almost no interference for no vehicles.  The lane separator between lanes is used to create a railway like system that can be integrated into the existing infrastructure. Thanks to highly ramped-up flywheels located  underneath, a gyrocar maintains stability even in an event of a collision with other vehicles. It’s continuous operation is achieved with the help of two independent generators and one back generator battery pack, which ensures that no power failure of rotary drives occurs even when both primary generators are stopped.  The gyroscopes in these cars will be initially powered by flywheels that are wound-up in the morning and throughout the day it can used the energy supplied by solar panels that are mounted on the roofs. The gyroscopic cars will have telescopic legs which will allow them to navigate underneath bridges that require low height clearance. Check out the concept video below to see the Gyroscopic Transportation in action.

 

The design and reliability of the gyro bus is such that is can be used both as passenger and freight transport. Plus, such a car can be used to create a real luxury mobile salon that stands no comparison to even with a most expensive limousines. The gyrocars can be used for emergency needs such as mobile operating room for performing urgent surgical operations.

The gryo wagon can be used to design a fire truck, which allows for quick access anywhere in the city regardless of road conditions. if there are traffic jams then the car just rises over the traffic on telescopic legs and moves between the rows of cars. On arrival of the fire site, a  twenty engine drone connected to the gyro car with a power cord, pulls out of the car and soars up high. The drone as more than enough power to go up to the fire location along with necessary fire fighting equipment including water hoses and special cannons that shoot capsules with fire extinguishing powder. Besides, the drone can use a pullout walkway to take on board and evacuate up to five victims if necessary. The video below show a concept of the Gyroscopic Fire Truck with incredible functionality that will surely blow your mind.

The design of the gyro car is universal and allows you to use it for creating safe, economical, efficient, environmentally friendly, and comfortable means of transportation that is independent of the traffic flows on general roads. The gyroscopic automobiles can also pass alongside high population areas, parks and even alongside people strolling down pedestrian walkways. It is designed to be safe in both ecological and physical terms and it cannot cause serious injury. From comfortable private cars to public trains. Thanks to the use of modern materials and self balancing mechanism, the creation of such a automobile is already possible. The gyroscopic transport truly has the potential to supersede buses, streetcars, subways, and taxis in the cities of the future, as it is both practical and useful for solving real life problems.
