Now that I’ve shared the basics about Zlair(the last blog), let’s dive deeper into it. Zlair is an automobile with no wheels, which in theory, defies the definition of a car(thus the word “automobile”). Corporate companies like Volkswagen and Renault are trying to make this possible the new, less-efficient way. I call it inefficient simply because they are putting in more input than the desired outcome is. In simpler words, they will have to add magnets to roads all around the world so they can get a small car to work. I, on the other hand, am going on a trip down memory lane. All the way back in the 2nd century, physicist and astronomer Hipparchus discovered the idea of precession, precession of the equinoxes. What he meant by this is that when you have a wheel spinning at high speeds, it creates torque, which later repels from the earth’s gravity. This idea was later carried on to make a prototype of the Gyro-X, a two-wheeled car which used a gyroscope in the front to make the car stabilized. The idea didn’t work and the creator Alex Tremulis went bankrupt. I would like to use his creation and tweak it a little, and despite the loss of the Gyro-X, I feel like I can try my hands on it. This is my final idea of making Zlair wheel-less, after trying electromagnetic roads to propulsion on all sides. Is the idea viable? Should I take it forward? Are there any faults? Please honestly comment below if I should move on with the idea.
