MonoWheel MX1

162k spefyjerbf  7.9 years ago

"Another product of physics manipulation."

IMPORTANT NOTE: This vehicle is highly experimental, and works best on flat pavement. Also, use camera 1 or the cockpit view.

Interestingly, the MonoWheel MX1 isn't at all related to a bicycle, car, or motorcycle. Instead, its closest relative is the hovercraft, specifically the Hoverblade U prototypes. The monowheel shares the low traction of the gravity manipulating hoverwheels, and even has a few hoverwheels for stability. The craft also has a mass-vectored CoM.

Controls:
Yaw to turn. Throttle for engines.
VTOL up for parking brakes.
Brake for brakes.

    Isn't this too slim for a vehicle?
    I don't think the people can go on it.
    No offense
