VIDEO: GYROSCOPIC TRANSPORTATION IS A VISION OF THE FUTURE!

Dahir Insaat has been working on a visionary form of urban transportation, an idea which he has been working on for more than two years. Insaat’s ‘Gyroscopic Transport’ vision looks like something out of Blade Runner; enormous, disk-shaped vehicles swarm through the streets on wheels, elevated above traffic, and overlapping to form multiple layers of travel.  

This form of public transportation would have "huge potential to provide an efficient, economical, safe, environmentally friendly, comfortable, and manoeuvrable conveyance that is independent of the general traffic flows on arterial roads." says Dahir Insaat. 

While the mobile pods may seem unfathomable for everyday use, Insaat assures that the proposed design is fully functional and is ready to build future cities with them. 

The gyroscopes would be initially powered by flywheels wound-up in the morning and would continue to be powered throughout the day from energy supplied by solar panels mounted on the roofs of the cars. 

The pods are stilted on expandable legs that can both contract and enlarge depending on the context, meaning they can pass under bridges and vehicular overpasses with ease. Inside these pods, passengers sit in rows just like they would on a subway or bus, or — alternatively — ride-in-style inside luxurious pods that include comfortable couches and TV sets.
