Artist Walter Wick stacked 117 objects on top of a single Lego piece for the Kids Gallery of the Connecticut Science Center in Hartford. Wick took about a week to perfect the balancing act and in the end used small wind-up toys to knock down the tower.
Enicycle is a one-wheeled Segway
August 20, 2009 @ 7:20 pm
Slovenian inventor Aleksander Polutnik has created what is essentially a one-wheeled Segway that he calls the Enicycle. [via]
The Enicycle uses a computer with gyroscopes that computes about 100 calculations per second to keep the rider balanced and upright. With a top speed of 10mph, it’s not something you would race with, but it certainly looks fun to ride! Currently, Aleksander Polutnik is trying to find a company to mass produce this one-wheeled vehicle. I hope it won’t break the bank!
