one piece of technology did prove itself in the grueling race the humble flywheel. This is currently being exploited by German carmaker Audi,
Using two flywheels spinning in opposite directions means the team of engineers at Lit Motors can cancel out
Inside each M-Block is a flywheel that can reach speeds of 20,000 revolutions per minute; when the flywheel is braked,
it imparts its angular momentum to the cube. On each edge of an M-Block, and on every face, are arranged cleverly permanent magnets that allow any two cubes to attach to each other. t one of these things that the modular-robotics community has been trying to do for a long time,
and flywheels tend to be less efficient, or simply too complex to be reduced practical when to very small sizes. e are in a sweet spot,
Research groups are working on a number of storage schemes to fix these issues from flywheels to liquid nitrogen and oxygen.
'Using a pair of flywheels spinning at 10,000+rpm, our gyro system exerts 1300 ft-lbs of torque to control the tilt and lean of the vehicle.'
