 Terry,

First the idea itself is nice but in order to do so you will need a very strong gyroscope or maybe more than one to balance a car and also you will have to remove all the unnessesary objects inside and out the side the car to make it lighter and easier to balance. Second the type of gyroscope you will need to get this done is the military type that is used for gunsight or aircraft navigation and also the matching inverters to supply it with power. Drop me an email and I will send you some pictures of my gyroscopes to let you know what I am talking about.

Regards,

Michael

 terry,

I have a machine I call a Rotator which will do this very thing. It produces a constant torque and it doesn't matter which two wheels stay off the ground. My intent has been to market this device on an individual basis specifically to stunt drivers. Contact me directly for further information.
