Use this page to get started.  The fundamentals of the TvA vehicle are
shown in small  video  files...  Simulation  is used  to better describe the  
Physics...  Please follow the sequence.

Narrow  or wide?  You  decide.      [1mb]
Now,  Point 2]
The car falls over.. the tilter  does not  fall ..    [1 mb]
Automatic Countersteer....   [1mb]
  A  narrow  vehicle MUST  countersteer .
TvA systems "automatically countersteer", as shown in the next video..
It  is critically important  that the vehicle  is not required  to be  
"manually countersteered"[ as in a conventional  motorcycle as it is
balanced].  TVA  systems  require NO driver balancing inputs!!.
TvA  Prototype  in action     [1mb]
There  are 3  fundamentals..
1]  The vehicle is less than 1 meter wide
2] The vehicle matches /exceeds the stability of  a motorcar.
3] The vehicle has simple motorcar style control.
First,  point 1]
TvA
A video showing the vehicle in Simulation  [ 9MB]
A video showing the prototype in action [10mb]
So..  What's the point? .....  Efficient  transport  mate!

We  cant afford to tinker with failed concepts.
We must  exploit the fundamentals of efficient motion .
We must make a vehicle that is easy and safe to control   
 ...in the most practically efficient form  possible ...Ok?

... this is EASY!!... its FUN! , and it must be done...
