The Self Balancing Monorail

My mind is blown away by this video! 🤯 I wouldn't have believed if someone told me they made this shit work today, let alone in 1910. Sometimes the ingenuity of humans is unbelievable!

Here is also a #Wikipedia article about it - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gyro_monorail

How does your phone track its relative position/orientation in space? Tiny little accelerometers and gyroscopes!

I dissected an IMU so we could trace it out in detail, play with printed models, analyze high speed footage and look at pretty SEM images

Cheers to all the folks I badgered with questions! ♥ The gyros in particular were a bit of a challenge to figure out, since they don't operate quite like a "textbook" MEMs gyro (or rather, they are more sophisticated in their sensing)
