ROVER WHEEL

Abstract

This paper focuses on the concept of developing a gyroscopic 2 wheeler vehicle. This paper focuses on the concept in which a normal two wheeler can be balanced with a gyrowheel attachment without making many changes to the two wheeler design, geometry and structure so that it can be easily adopted in different type of two wheelers. This paper contains detailed description of design and analysis of Gyro wheel used for the stabilization of the bicycle. The Gyro wheel is a special kind of wheel which is designed as an alternative to the training wheels used in bicycle for people with Balance disorders, especially for aged people and new learners. The Gyro wheel works on the principle of Gyroscopic effect caused by the rotating wheel. The Gyro wheel consists of a solid disk/wheel (Depending upon size of the bi-cycle) inside the tire which is spinning independently. The wheel rotates at a high speed and creates a gyroscopic effect known as gyroscopic precession. The Gyro wheel detects the direction of fall and precision the direction of fall and re-stabilizes the wheel. It is designed as a special type of wheel working on mechanical aspects that would be able to balance itself i.e. it would maintain vertical position because the rotating flywheel nullified all the forces acting upon the wheel. For designing of the Gyro wheel, 3d modelling software namely SOLID WORKS 2017 is used. Structural analysis is done to find the stress distribution and the deformation on the model. For structural analysis, ANSYS software is used.
