Gyroscopically stabilized vehicles with KERS (patents pending)

Flywheel kinetic energy recovery system

• Flywheel/gyroscope functions as a mechanical battery.
• Recycle energy with Flywheel KERS instead of wasting it like standard braking.
• Braking energy is transferred to the flywheel and stored for later acceleration. 
• Transfer energy from the flywheel to the drive motor for quick acceleration.
• Reduce the heavy draw on chemical batteries during acceleration.
• Increase range.
• Consume less power grid resources as energy is recycled.
• Much higher energy recapture rate than current regen braking in hybrids.

 

Gyroscopic stabilization

• Ability to hover at zero speed.
• Greatly improved safety in cornering.
• Our gyro system maintains a fixed plane in space and can be adapted to stabilize other land vehicles as well as  hovercraft, watercraft, and helicopters.
• Enables stable rear-wheel steering for the first time.

Rear wheel steering

• Superior aerodynamics (no wheel wells).
• Tighter turning radius
• Greater maneuverability
• Buckminster Fuller's aerodynamic rear-wheel steered Dymaxion car could seat 11 passengers and got over 30 mpg... in 1933. How many vehicles can claim that today? Look for Amelia Earhart in the video to the right. Stability was a major reason the Dymaxion did not progress.  Imagine where transportation would be today if the Dymaxion had been further developed with the benefit of gyro-stabilization!!!
