Inline-wheeled Thrustcycle SRT performs a clever balancing act
The Thrustcycle SRT is a three-wheeled vehicle that incorporates a gyro/flywheel system to maintain its balance, and harvest power from braking
Article Summary
Fans of three-wheeled cars will tell you that the vehicles come in two configurations: delta, with the single wheel in the front, and tadpole, with the single wheel in the back. Well, now there's another type. The prototype Thrustcycle SRT has all three of its wheels in a straight lateral line, and utilizes a mechanical gyroscopic stabilizing system to keep it firmly upright even when standing still. That same system also stores kinetic energy generated by braking, extending the vehicle's range.
