- The Lane Motor Museum is the home of some truly whacky cars. One of the most exciting is the Gyro-X, a prototype from 1967 that stays up on two wheels through the use of a gyroscope.

Two-Wheeled Car Uses A Gyroscope To Balance
probably needed to use the double Gryo method , used in the gyro monorail, to make it more stable
I just saw that a few days ago- the youtube algorithm is trying to bring this back!
@@sierram1stme too. And when seeing this video it was my first thought too. On the idea of this car, why do people have a good idea, then try to reinvent the wheel instead of using the existing technology somebody else used their funds developing. What a wast of a million dollars.
@@petethebeat48 If we all thought like that, we would be living in a boring world with far less innovations around us. Innovation is trial and error...problem solving and then onto the next challenge. Failure is half the fun.
This video got recommended to me right after I watched that video!
Yes twice as st pid. We already have an old perfect two wheeled car: motocycles.
I need a gyroscope to balance my life.
Oof
Bro that's a mood
It's called fentanyl isn't it
Yeah, would be helpful
I need one yo balance My debt
In an event of a car accident, this thing would roll like crazy.
It was developed in the 1960s, cars in the 1960s weren't safe anyways
Better to roll than hit a hard object and stop all at once
Or with a heavy enough flywheel it would maintain its orientation perfectly while flying through the air into a light post.
It leans INTO the corner instead of out? That's what they've been trying to solve for ages with modern anti-roll bars and suspension systems. Turns out all you need is a car build on a motorbike with a gyroscope. Truly amazing.
Let's face it leaning into corners is the closest feeling of moving like a plane there is and that's what makes motorcycles so much fun so I figure if I could get the plans and a gyro of my own I could modify a motorcycle to be enclosed and sturdy on the road. A roll cage is a must for sure.
The gyro effect of the wheels is a problem. So the transversal engine turns the other way. Depending on the gear, a gyro needs to compensate: in low gear the engine, but in high gear the wheels.
Only a plane with counter rotation is a good plane. P-38 and A400M.
Even more impressive is the gyro monorail.
That prrticeser/ probably birthed this 🤪
They read the monorail advantages list, except the "needs only one rail" point.
Super cool. I'm really glad someone got ahold of it and put the effort into making it as close to original as possible.
there was a train built in 1910 that solved this issue for higher speeds, the solution could be a bit too complex to fit inside a car though
I learned about that train from a mustard video
If they solved it, where it the train? haha
@@stephen300o6 It was too expensive to mass produce since every cart needed 2 gyros and a pneumatic system.
This is what I want from this channel
To be fair, this is very clever and intriguing engineering, but evidently this was also an answer to a question very few (if anyone) asked. As the narrator aptly describes, a product of its era. What a fun challenge though! For two wheels, a large bike with panniers would be just as suitable (though likely not as comfy on longer journeys).
Tremulous is an awesome name.
1:01 omg ! Like when you see it .
They should have made fibreglass cars for the public to buy. Not only would bring in a lot of money from them from selling it also bring a lot of attention to the type of car that is further bringing more attention to the museum.
Coolest one! Motorcycle in India needs Gyroscopic stability for sure!
Great restoration - a huge achievement. Still not convinced that gyros are so great if you want to corner with any kind of gusto! I prefer the Peraves solution - the pilot-operated outriggers of the Ecomobile and the Monotracer - and I say that having driven many examples of both!
Yeah i know that one... 90% of the power feed the damn gyro... nice exercise of style from the engineers in shape of a big red suppository
No, the gyro requires very little power because of the momentum and low friction. Remember: the flywheel keeps rotating for two hours if power is completely cut off!
Amazing engineering behind this.
Im curious to see this technology updated
Check out LIT MOTORS
That’s one heck of a moose knuckle at 1:01
Solution to a non-existent problem.
Its great to see quirky stuff like this restored to what it was but you have to say what on earth were they taking when they thought that was a good idea! Ok it takes up half a lane but you couldn't get twice as many cars on the road could you, even if every single car was that width you'd need twice as many cars as its clearly not a family sized car so it certainly wasn't the answer to congestion. The narration also mentions better cornering stability and less chance of skidding. With half as many tyres that wasn't going to work was it. How they managed to get 3/4 of a million in backing is beyond me.
What is the purpose of the gyro, is it to make the car lean into corners, or is it to make the car drive around corners without leaning? I suspect it's the latter, in which case I suspect that going into a corner too hard would see it fly off. But who knows, it would be interesting to see this thing pushed a bit hard to see what happens. And is the new gyro thought to be similar specs to the original? How much do they know?
It’s so that it doesn’t fall over when stationary or at slow speeds.
this car also reminds to me to an speciffic movie
This is sick actually
large ships of war used gyros to steady the ship so as to drop a shot onto the opponents deck, 20 or so miles away.
So silly. We already have this two wheeled cars called motocycles.
turly a game changer!
Reminds me of the gyro monorail.
Register that thing as a motorcycle and you've got the safest motorcycle ever made
I also drive a gyroscopic vehicle. It's called a motorcycle. It's pretty neat.
Awesome!
At a speed of say 10 to maybe 25 MPH I might trust it but I would never want to be going 55 or 60 in that thing...
If kanedas bike was made in the 60s
Re-upload?
Why don’t we use it in motorcycle?
Because on motorcycles, they balance well enough on their own and humans too. On a motorcycle it would only add too much weight and make it harder to turn as you lean into turns.
it is unnecessary and even counter productive.
Because it makes no sense. In fact, It doesn’t even make sense on a car.
@@RATsnak3 exactly. However as they said, it does makes sense on certain boats.
@@greego5952 what does that have to do with motorcycles or cars
Hermoso me gustaby para comprar carisimo solo me queda hacer gusto personal thank Arg
On November 27, 1913, Russian Count Pyotr Petrovich Schilovsky launched his gyrocar for the first time. It was electrically powered.
Definition of overengineered.
I would pay for plans for this car. And buy a gyro.
Where is the Lane Museum ?
is it possible to move ever thing from a Tesla to a Cadillac like the inside of the car.... For example my Cadillac well have the screen bulid in like tesla and well get update one Tesla has update there Tesla cars and my Cadillac well have autodrive
this car was shown in top gear before
I had one of these but I had to sell it. It made me two tired. 😜
Two-wheeled car = motorcycle. With gyro.
Gyros are fine, but they "saturate" after time and begin to precess..
I just love this car. So beautiful.
Old technology. A two wheel train did that in 1910
We are all using old technology.
Is like putting 4 wheels to a motorcycle..... humans will never be satisfied...
It's not.
“Balance”
I think 200mph + would be doable if you dared to install a turbo Hayabusa engine. HAHAHAHA !!
Looks like a death trap
Why?
Not very much protection. Perhaps wings, or someway to stay outa harms way from other traffic.
What did you expect from a car designed in the 60s?
Two wheel car is called motorcycle 😁
Not when you have the body of a regular car!
2 wheeled car... or a motorcycle
日本人もがんばれー
👍👍👍
nothing to see here. he won't take it out on a ride
needs 2 gyros.....look...lit motors did it
Very Good!... #98 ✝ {12-27-2024}
Who's here from "daily dose of internet"?
Except that it requires training wheels to stay upright.
So stupid.
I wonder why it failed?
The outrigger "training" wheels would be needed for parking, even if the gyro system worked perfectly. Motorcycles have stands...
@@brianb-p6586 yeah they have stands , not training wheels 😂
@@user-co6ww2cm9k motorcycles also have the rider's feet, which an enclosed vehicle does not have. A bike rider puts his feet down as he stops, then puts out the stand; with an enclosed balancing vehicle something needs to come down while still moving slowly (instead of a rider's feet), and thus the wheels.
@@user-co6ww2cm9k I'm pretty sure in the 20th century, they'd come up with a more aesthetic design. For example, a sexy pair of wheels would lower (automatically) as the gyro slows down.
What would happen if you’re cruising on the highway and the gyro stops working lol
Maybe if you actually watch the video you’d find out as that’s mentioned.
It'd lean on the auxiliary wheel; nothing disastrous. However, the gyro without power would spin for about 2 hours, and any chance of the gyro failing is very slim.
😍😍🥰🥰🤩🤩
🆒😎👍

A two wheeled car has already been invented. They're called motorcycles. Oh, and one second into this video I count at least three wheels. This channels cannot be trusted. Outta here.

The outrageous betty perplexingly clip because cloth independently exercise per a waggish eight. tasteful, optimal bedroom
Best youtube comment ive ever read got no idea what it means keep it up
Did anyone else completely forget what they were watching 1 minute into the video? 😂🤣
