My name is David –closing in on 60–googled something totally different (messerschmitt 200) and “fell” into this area of space. Amazing-I have thoughts and ideas along the same lines-how big and how many rpm is the gyro—some think and some do–I’m moving toward the doing side.

I was really astonished for your thesaurus of knowledge you have
included.

I need a long time to see and understand the various items and
subjects you are dealing.

Congatulations

As the founding and sanctioning body of unimotorycle drag racing; we are blown away by this guy. According to the rules of our race; if during a race, any part of the ‘beast’ touches forward of the axle, the run is disqualified. We currently drag race in the style of one wheeled controlled wheelies; the crashes can be rather dramatic.
Our President, Sidecar Willy, founding father of our hot international motor sport, recently found Charles F. Taylor and his one wheeled machines on the internet . . . he is intrigued . . .

I’ve watched the video several times and I still get goosebumps! It looks like sorcery! I MUST build one of my own! I’m putting together my list of materials right now.
Lets see- 12 ft aluminum flat bottom boat hull for a chassis platform, (amphibious?) Ford 8-N tractor wheel, 1 liter 3cyl Geo Metro engine for power, hydrostatic transmission to turn main wheel (MUCH simpler than belts/shafts/chains/gears ect.) Diesel truck flywheels for gyro steering/stabilizers, air compressor to power air turbine motors( to spin gyros), air suspension and fast-acting air piston servo for torque reaction control, 2 seats,”joystick” controls. Hmmmm.
