Claimed efficiency... yeah, "my car design will be efficient in the future - i just need a streamline body with no space for other passengers or luggage, and it is only relative efficient when driving at higher speeds to offset the gyros powerneeds - and it is unstable at slow speeds, in tight corners and high speeds, and the gyro is a massive safety hazard". It is an interesting car, but practicality is kinda like that of a jet pack - it looks cool.
Maybe a similar concept with a battery would work better. Putting a li-ion battery pack in the bottom of the vehicle would increase stability and make more room where the original engine would be, and this space could presumably be for a second passenger or a trunk. A unique concept and I'm sure it could sell if marketed correctly as a sport or luxury vehicle. It's certainly innovative enough.
you are ribht, AB... It's interesting but not efficient. For example my Golf 3, with 90 Horsepower makes 45 to 57 miles per gallon. That is efficient. And it can have 5 passengers.
It's not about size, it's about the fact it's on two wheels but isn't shitty like a bike.. Believe it or not, some of us don't carry round 50 big macks and a fat wife and kid, so a small luggage is enough.
Oh wow a gyro x video? Dude your content is always such an awesome surprise. I watched a documentary about the Gyro X once but ended up with some unanswered questions. This video answered all of them and then some! I’m recommending you to all of my homeschooling friends.

Switch the power train to electric with a hub motor and have the seating inline rather than side by side and the drag coefficient would be tiny. A 50kw motor would make this thing fast, efficient and practical for all year round use.
Benjamin Leo - I've driven plenty of two wheeled vehicles, both human-powered and motor-powered, that didn't need gyroscopes but still didn't fall over. They were called bicycles and motorcycles.
That was incredible! Thank you for the animation I never knew this car existed. It really is a shame it never made it to production. Such an interesting concept. Could you imagine if they began a rally division?
Super clear....the reason why I started to search about the working and principals of a gyroscope was when I started playing Simple Rockets 2. Really the gyroscope us amazing. Thanks, ur explaination and animation helpd a lot.
The intensity of the vibrations would depend on the tolerances of the mechanism, and since this would've been manufactured by industrial grade machinery, those tolerances would likely have been too small for any vibrations to be noticeable.
How could you give this video a thumbs down? People are strange. Cool video, found a article on this car and was wondering where the gyro was located and how it worked! Perfect!
You can bet that if this gyro-X car could ever had been a real option, it would have been been adopted by a modern car manufacturer and turned into a production car. That never happened!

It was probably a vertical axis rotor they used and not horizontal though either orientation would work. I assume that Agency Impianti, the company who did the work, builds their gyros like Seakeeper who use vertical gyros.
No, because with a vertical axis rotor, if the car tilted it would the gyro would try to lift either the front or back of the car, and making horizontal adjustments like in the video would do nothing. Vertical axis gyros are used to determine the roll or pitch of a ship or aircraft.
@@PaulJosephdeWerk Then how do you explain mine and MORI, Hiroshi's models working? Vertical axis rotors with horizontal axis gimbal controlling the ROLL of the vehicle - not the PITCH. th-cam.com/video/qPfw1JQyzVU/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/N22i4JuYoXM/w-d-xo.html And MORI's excellent theory book here: thebbb.net/free/theories-and-experiments-for-gyro-monorails.pdf And if you go to Seakeepers website they show a broken out model of a vertical axis gyroscope controlling the ROLL of their boats. Also, Lit Motors, C-1 gyro-motorcycle used two vertical axis rotors.

I love this animation . It amazes me that this brilliant car is not in production today . It would save so much fuel and give great joy to any car enthusiasts.
I'm Pretty sure if u told men 200 years ago that: today we would drive at 60mph, mere feet from from other cars going at similar speed in the opposite direction, powered by explosions a few inches away from our feet, and sitting on top a tank of explosive flammable fuel, almost daily, and the men from 200 years ago would be sure u are crazy. Of course such devices as cars will never be created.
@@Jeffrey314159 What’s your point? It’s a sealed system and apart from that the tech has probably moved on from that now so neither would need to be used.
The gyroscope could actually have been a big battery, after all it is spinning weight that a gyro needs to be effective, and a battery has plenty of weight. Put the batteries weight to actual use and create a hybrid drive system.
Hi, Jared - as ever, I really enjoyed your video. In this case, however, I was left a little confused as to quite how the precessional ram receives its inputs. If, for example, the Gyro X were stationary, received an impulse from a sudden brief gust of wind and began to tilt to one side, how would this tilting motion be detected by the car and translated into a compensatory movement of the ram? I hope I´m not being too obtuse...
@@JaredOwen Well, the ram´s obviously a two-way item which can be pressure-fed from either end, and there´s presumably a reservoir of pressurised hydraulic fluid and two valves, one for each direction of travel. I did wonder whether these valves might be controlled by a linkage originating from another, far smaller gyro, whose response to inputs was thus being employed to operate those valves sufficiently quickly to keep the vehicle balanced. In the absence of electronic control it´s hard to think of another way in which the engineers might have done it...

I once opened one up to fix and figured out how it works. There is a mechanism that moves side to side that basically works as a spring and electromagnet. When connected to AC current, the current through - and force by - the electromagnet reverses at 60 hz (in the US anyway). This moves the spring-loaded bar with a magnet on it side to side. As the bar moves the back-EMF (Electro-Motive Force) of the moving magnet fights the current flow through the electromagnet, limiting the current flowing through it - if there is more resistance to movement more current will flow. If it is jammed there will be no back EMF and the current will be very high, likely blowing a circuit breaker - if I remember right this was why I needed to take apart and fix it. This moving bar moves the blades back and fourth. Would all make more sense if you open one up. An animation would be pretty interesting.
When going downhill, the car balances on just the rear wheel. When going down a steep hill, the rear fender gets scraped off. When you drive too far in a straight line, the nose pitches up. Do it in reverse and the rear pitches up. Regardless, keep the car running for 12 consecutive hours and it will try to flip itself upside down.
Is this true? This has been tried a few times: Shilovsky's gyrocar in 1914 Gyro-X, 1960's Lit Motors, C1, 2010. All of them failed. I figure there were hidden problems in this design. I've never seen the C1 from Lit motors demonstrated on anything but a parking lot at slow speeds.

Can’t imagine how loud that would be even if the flywheel is just the tiniest bit unbalanced. Those vibrations would not be fun
Hey, how about pit-stained roads?
The intensity of the vibrations would depend on the tolerances of the mechanism, and since this would've been manufactured by industrial grade machinery, those tolerances would likely have been too small for any vibrations to be noticeable.
We also have dozens of ways of reducing noise, especially since the device in question isn't propelling anything, or using combustible fuel...
It is sealed in a housing and flywheels can easily be balanced to a high tolerance.

Who needs a fly wheel when you could just spin yourself really fast while driving?
