This document discusses self-balancing vehicles, specifically the Segway. It provides a brief history of transportation and defines a self-balancing vehicle as one that uses sensors, gyros, and accelerometers along with a motor to help riders balance on a single-wheeled vehicle. Examples are given of different Segway models, and the key components of the Segway like its batteries, frame, and wireless controller are described. The document explains how gyroscopes and tilt sensors allow the Segway to detect the rider's movements and maintain balance. Advantages of the Segway like reducing emissions and avoiding traffic are highlighted.

2. WHAT IS SELF BALANCING VEHICLE ?
• It is a type of vehicle thatuses sensors, gyros, and
accelorometers in conjunctionwith anelectric motor to assist
a rider withbalancingon a single wheeled vehicle.

3. HISTORY OF TRANSPORTATION
 Human beings have always been search of
comfort and there comes the technology.

6. EXAMPLES OF SELF BALANCING VEHICLE
•

7.  Segway is two wheel self balancing transportation
vehicle invented by Dean Kamen in 2001 at new
york.
 It is designed to mirror the process of human
walking.

8. User commands the Segway to go forward by
shifting their weight forward on the platform ,
And backward by shifting their weight backward.

9.  Based on the simple principles that
govern the movement of the human
body.
 The Segway has,
wheels legs,
motor muscles,
microprocessors brain and
tilt sensors inner-ear
 Like your brain, the Segway knows
when you are leaning forward. To
maintain balance, it turns the
wheels at just the right speed,
moving you forward.

10.  Info Key Controller
 lean Steer Frame
 Handlebar Assembly
 Tire/Wheel Assembly
 Fenders
 Mats
 Powerbase
 Batteries

11.  A gyroscope is a spinning
wheel inside a stable frame
which resists changes in its axis
of rotation.
 Segway's use special solid-
state angular rate sensor
constructed using silicon. This
determines an object's rotation
using the Carioles Effect on a
very small scale. These are
called Solid State Silicon
Gyroscopes.

12. Effect of Gyroscopic Couple on
Aeroplanes
When the propeller rotates in anti-clockwise
direction &:
1. The aeroplane takes a right turn, the gyroscope
will raise the nose and dip the tail.
2. The aeroplane takes a left turn, the gyroscope
will dip the nose and raise the tail.

13. Effect of Gyroscopic Couple on Naval
Ship
STEERING:
Steering is the turning of the complete ship in a curve towards
left or right, while it moves forward.
PITCHING:
Pitching is the movement of the
complete ship up & down in a
vertical plane.
ROLLING:
In rolling, the axis of precision is always parallel to the axis of
spin for all positions.

14.  When the Segway Handle Bar is tilted, the integrated
Silicon Gyroscopes detect the degree of rotation as well
as the rate of rotation.
 This is based on the variation in the vibration of the
Silicon particles with respect to the Support Frame of
the Gyroscope.

15.  The Segway i2 is the base model
Segway. Sleek and light, the i2
will keep you on the move and
avoiding the congestion of
traffic and the high prices of gas.
 The i2 includes a Wireless Info
Key Controller, Siphon Lithium-
ion batteries, Lean Steer frame
height adjust.

17.  The Segway PT has many benefits for you and the
environment.
 It is used in many fields such as a means of transport, in
the military services , in malls and in many other daily life
uses.
 It also reduces the impact of global warming by checking
greenhouse gas output and fossil fuel consumption.
 If we are able to replace 10% of 900 million car travel to 3
mile with the Segway PT there would be:
 6.2 million fewer gallons of gas consumed.
 286 million fewer pounds of CO2 emitted every day.
