I recently received a Gyrowheel from Gyrobike to try out. I have a six year-old geeklet that demand his training wheels be removed due to peer pressure. The only problem is: he cannot balance very ...

Check it out! When the wheel isn't spinning, it's easy to tilt it from side to side. But when the wheel is given a spin, its forward momentum resists side to side movement. Try it yourself. You'll ...

In a discovery that could lead to better and safer bicycle design, researchers have shown that long-accepted "gyro" and "caster" effects are not needed to make a bike balance itself. In fact, it's a ...

It’s as easy as riding a bike … or so the saying goes. But how do we manage to stay upright on a bicycle? If anyone ventures an answer they most often say that it’s because of the “gyroscopic effect” ...

For [Gunnar]’s diploma thesis, he wanted to build an autonomous bicycle. There’s an obvious problem with this idea, though: how, exactly does a robotic bicycle stand upright? His solution to balancing ...
