| Industrial designer applies vacuum cleaner brand’s forced-air tech for a single-wheeled bike concept.
This actually might work. Ignoring the obvious - it is, for all intents and purposes, an uneven one-wheeled motorcycle - this concept uses the same technology as Dyson's clever bladeless fan for balance and speed.
For the uninitiated, the vacuum cleaner brand's ''air multiplier'' essentially looks like a large, fancy ring that silently blows forced air like any other desk or floor-standing fan, minus the spinning blades.
It draws air from an inlet in its base and forces it through a tiny outlet in the hollow upper ring at a faster rate.
