In fact, not in spite of, but precisely because of the laws of physics, Brennan at the beginning of the last century managed to outwit gravity. It's no joke, his concept of a train running on one rail instead of two was embodied in a working model, and when moving on one rail it balanced, tilting at turns, now in one direction, then in the other. At the same time, no effort was required on the part of the driver to perform this action.
This mobility made it possible to take turns at much higher speeds. The invention was based on a patented design for a gyroscope system. They were the ones who prevented the train from falling when turning. But it’s not so simple - the Primal Space channel conducted a whole study, requesting patents and drawings of the inventor. The scientist did not immediately come to a working concept, but each failure only brought him closer to a solution that was surprising in its simplicity.
As a result, the prototype remained stable even if all the passengers on the open platform stood on one side. It was a definite success! After all, laying one rail instead of two meant a serious reduction in the cost of not only the laying of railway communications, but also their operation. So why do we still travel on trains with wheelsets today? You will find the answer in this video.

The Soviet tractor T-40AM, even in the “base”, is better than foreign SUVs
A tractor is primarily an agricultural technique. Such machines appeared precisely to replace horse and ox carts. The peasants quickly realized the advantages...
