<p>#CMT# #/CMT# The stable and controllable single-wheeled vehicle is preferably suitable for radiographic control, being readily adaptable as a remote-controlled toy vehicle. It remains stably upright and is rotatable in principle around its vertical axis. During its forward rolling movement it is completely turnable and controllable. It can also move backwards and execute curves without the need to use external guiding and drive mechanisms, such as a steering wheel, propeller, screw or jet motor. #CMT# : #/CMT# The vehicle comprises a wheel (10), around the axis (9) of which is a freely suspended cage or frame (12). A flywheel (13) has its shaft parallel to the wheel nave and tippably suspended around an axis vertical to its shaft in the cage or frame. A drive causes the flywheel to rotate, to create a gyroscopic effect. #CMT#USE : #/CMT# As a stable and controlled single-wheeled vehicle, adaptable as a remote-controlled toy vehicle. #CMT#ADVANTAGE : #/CMT# A vacuum is created, whereby the frictional forces of the flywheel are minimized and the energy usage of the drive mechanism is reduced. #CMT#DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS : #/CMT# The figure is a schematic presentation of a side and front view of a system of a preferred version of the invention. 10 : wheel 9 : axis 12 : cage or frame 13 : flywheel.</p> |
