How transport was improved in the past
Humanity has always had a thirst for non-standard technical solutions: 50 and 100 years ago, inventors tried, if not to create something new in the field of transport, then to improve the old. Take a look at the first frames of the video - the car easily turns its wheels 90°. A similar idea is used today in some exclusive cars. But then there were other projects that did not stand the test of time. They are the ones described in the video from the TECHNO TV channel.


For example, a vehicle consisting of only one wheel: how can you drive it? It turns out that it’s easy if you sit down… inside. But pitching, flying dirt, lack of a good view ahead and the impossibility of an emergency stop put an end to the invention. And here is another “miracle” - a hovering scooter that moves on an air cushion. This design was also unlucky - there was no manufacturer who would risk putting this device on the conveyor. The car is too noisy, and also capable of moving only on level ground. But that's not all - the video also presents other, no less amazing inventions. And who knows, if we return to them today, then maybe something will work out, given modern technologies? Watch the video!
