During the closing ceremony of the 2008 Olympics, I thought I saw several pedal powered uniwheels!

They’d have had a place of honour reserved for this thing in the ‘43 victory parade in Berlin.

How does one keep it from toppling end over end if they have to slam on the brakes? (the civilian model doesn’t appear to have “crutches”)

[...] War Tank on One Wheel Operated by One Man It’s been a while since I posted some MinutiÃ¦ from the real world, but I’m gonna get back in the swing of things with this awesomeness from the evercool Modern Mechanix weblog. This particular oddity makes it look fun to fight a war! The best part is that the thing is a giant wheel, but it has these legs in the front that it uses to vault over obstacles, presumably like barbed wire and trenches. Big Wheel is unfortunately not interviewed in the article. Thursday January 18th 2007, 10:53 pm Filed under: shock:, science/fiction [...]

Unicycle tank from 1933…

Modern Mechanix posted a neat article from the November 1933 issue of Popular Science about a man’s design for an amphibious unicycle tank. The tank bears a striking similarity to Kerry McLean’s Rocket Roadster whose project is profiled in the MAKE:…

I can’t imagine that it would be possible to install a motor with enough HP to move anything with sufficient armor plating to offer any significant protection.
