How This Two-Wheeled Car Uses A Disk To Balance

YouTube description:

The Lane Motor Museum is the home to some whacky cars. One of the craziest is the Gyro-X that balances on two wheels through the use of a gyroscope.

There's an interesting bit of history that was -never- going to be a decent design for a car. Single-person, low speed, and a high-speed heavy-weight gyro just waiting for a collision to turn it into shrapnel. I'm still trying to figure out how anyone could claim that it wouldn't slide...with only two wheels, it's going to get -far- less traction than a four wheeled vehicle.
