ONE-WHEEL VEHICLE Russian patent published in 2006 - IPC B62D57/00 

FIELD: transport engineering.

SUBSTANCE: proposed one-wheel vehicle has body with possibility of getting in and out for user, and with circular protector, ring weights rotating inside body, locks, flexible member winding bushings, flexible members, brakes of flexible member winding bushings, track brakes, cab with shaft of cardan suspension and with gravity center outside axis of body rotation, mechanism to change direction of movement, and power train. Body is watertight, with transparent sections of surface for observation of outside medium. Weights are made as one weight-ring secured on ring in diametric plane of one-wheel vehicle for angular deflection of weight=ring from diametric plane of one-wheel vehicle and locking it in extreme working positions. Power trains are provided with engines for reversing said ring. Shafts of power trains are common axle of rotation of ring of cab cardan suspension, said ring and body. Bushings for winding on flexible members connected with weight-ring are installed on section of power train shafts between side surfaces of body and said ring. One wheel vehicle can provided video or optical observation of outside medium by user.

EFFECT: simplified design, enlarged operating capabilities.
