MUST see, Crazy Invention from the past

[TrevorBock]

Why do we have cars again?



[IronRoger300]

General Grivous approves.

[explodinggomba]

@IronRoger300 heh heh heh

[RazerZoneSingapore]

Thumbs up for Vsauce

[StrawhatxLuffy]

oh my gosh... they should try to improve on this idea more instead of other things... :p

[mattjens11]

isn't that in starwars?

[20Justin1]

Its the IT (lol South Park)

[thedavidd003]

AWESOME



[MSIceWiz]

Star Wars episode 3, general grevious's vehicle

[FSXTout]

do a wheelie

[letiiib0g0sse86]

south park

[CharlesPieczonka]

thats not crazy, thats fucking awesome!

[Jasonbjamin]

Firstly why is there an old lady in charge of this deal? and secondly where are the two nobs that go up your ass and in your mouth cause I swear this was on southpark

[joethetimelord]

I feel that any flaw this design had (namely sticking your head out the side to see) would be fixed by now.

And that this would be so much more badass to drive.

[thesancezzz]

Diesel Power!

[Sac077]

You know that big freaking bump you get when your car drives into a deep puddle in the rain? I want to see how this thing deals with that shit

[salieeri]

Like if you saw this after you saw South Park!

[wolfspider72]

I want one!

[wv02m]

If he slammed on the breaks he'd look like a hamster in a wheel !

[Kinsky2309]

Awesome cool !

[dammitcrap]

so does it have a heater during the winter? 

[ForlanceAbice]

You know, I can see potential genius with this hamster ball of doom.

I bet an army of rats use it to rampage in tunnels to commit gerbil genocide, perhaps that is all the cause of the earthquakes we are having, a rodent civil war.

I bet the are snickering right now, as they arm them with chainsaws and death spikes, plus a flamethrower to add to this terror of mass destruction to obliterate the human race!

.... Or I am high... But that's just me.

[Milescago]

@ForlanceAbice Well said.

[sustainable2012]

we sure have progressed.... :( im lying

[madmiles]

When the fuck did Julia Child leave the kitchen?

[gayhax]

@madmiles julie child was a member of the secret service before she was ever on a cooking show.

[TheComercialKidz]

lets see it do a wheelie...

[TheLobstersoup]

And if you break, you roll upside down, yay!

[Milescago]

@TheLobstersoup HAhahahahahaha

[DroidShout]

A little bit shaky eyh?

[JohnMGilbert]

How do you roll the windows up?

[MightyLion70]

THats pretty tight!

[HOUSTONismyHOME]

sketchy 

[talontooner]

I'd like to see someone slam the brakes on that thing at high speed....

they're gonna keep spinning like a hamster on his running wheel haha

[lispectorando]

Oh my god, that's the most horrific steampunk thing i've ever seen!!

[MrSuaveeito]

ha ha i wonder what happens when u gota slam on the brakes!!!

[ThinkStage]

very cool

[GZA036]

1:04 yes, quite level, quite level indeed you dumb bitch

[armenia98ararat]

all hell would break loose if korean women decided to drive this thing...

[nickfowlerflap]

Nice machine for the annual Dutch "Zwarte cross festival"

[samoht1977]

I'd call that the "wobbleton machine". Or the "wobbling wobbler". The fun part is when you got to, let's say, 40 mph and then hit the brakes hard... 100% fun guaranteed!

[bnewton0]

I wish there was a modern version. They would be awesome until hovercraft are efficient enough to be used by the public.

[soangry]

@bnewton0 Do a google search, there have been a few different modern types made. Off the top of my head I remember a motorcycle type and another that used a huge monster truck tire with the driver seat counter weighted off to the side. I have to imagine they have a problem with stopping at high speed through.

[willieneal57]

Looks wobbly to me!  You might get sick.

[agentgta007]

thumbs up if CRACKED sent you here

[Gunnar120]

Suck to get run over with that

[spooni08]

i want it

[SLIvista]

this video has better quality than most youtube video

[Matrix29bear]

And the bonus is... all the gravel you desire carried up the back of the wheel and onto your neck.

[djdupre7]

@eckyspondoolie

it is red, you just can't tell because the video is in black and white

[GeorgeBSmithJr]

OMG they stole General Grievous' wheel thingy we saw in Episode 3.

[Shadowybladeatgmail]

@GeorgeBSmithJr Nope. Grievous (Georg Lucas actually) ripped off theirs. This is older than Star Wars.

[GeorgeBSmithJr]

@Shadowybladeatgmail No way dude! Star Wars happened a long time ago in a galaxy far far away!

[yourallstoopid]

it the greatses sutependous gayest thing evea mac .. lets gets a lemonade high trousers

[heykuckma]

I want one....

[jimmypoulincriket]

Lost the prototype after braking while down a long steep hill...

[ivanspajic1]

I'm sorry, once again, the engine in the thing is not electric. It is indeed a combustion engine, clearly heard on the camera. Still, the way it works is just weird! Gravity!

[ivanspajic1]

Sorry! I found out how it works. The electric motor turns anti-clockwise, when the car is respectively viewed from the right side. The seat and everything in the middle pushes up, forwards, putting weight on the front part of the cars wheel, making the wheel turn, due to gravity.

[ivanspajic1]

She said; gravity itself pushes the car, etc. Perpetuum mobile? It is quite possible, there is no engine room.

[idris09]

Like in Steam Boy!

[eadragon1108]

thats is mr garrisons IT

[Caleb6543]

I'd love to see that thing go through some mud. The driver would be filthy!

[Ukrazianation]

must flip often...

[NisMoMoFo]

... do a burnout...

[JDTVEXTREMEVIDEOS]

how exactly does the brakes work on that thing? if I know the mechanism right, the seating point would lock on the giant wheel via "brake pads" against glider guides in attempts to stop but only to be flipping around inside it, til you stopped or crashed into something. correct me if im wrong, but thats just my point of view. or just have a heavy guy for weight vs momentum

[miguetohme]

Esto aparece en Starwars!!! General Grievous la uso jajaja

[RUBAN0606]

get in an accident? you'll just propel away from the vehicle...cheerio!

[UnderManiac]

You have no protection from the environment. What happens when it rains? You'll get soaked. Useless in winter, there is no heating. If you're hit by a vehicle, it's instant death.

[Teranova]

Shit i hate to get a flat tire and replace it.... :o

[mackat4ck]

What happens if you slam on brakes?

[julzabro]

Built in roll bars! And, becuz, it's round, impact crashes would be lessened almost altogether! Here's ur chance, Big 3...someone oughta jump on this one! Lol! I want one!

[HuskerSeaofRed]

Nice. You could go through a drive through backwards. Might just solve all of the world's problems!

[harrytyzard]

Now,slam on the brakes!

[ThePedub]

Hey, didn't I see this thing on South Park?!?

[joseph011296]

@ThePedub that was very different

[UFOMAN618]

You might want to just get a fast car! I thought the entity was funny but was a little harsh towards one wheeled vehicles - as an engineer I suggest they have many merits!.

[kalhoon]

braking was always fun . you go around with the wheel. that's why it never got off the ground.

[neonbluen851]

its like the TRON:Legacy racer

[gregbails4]

Screw your 4x4, my 1x1 will never get stuck!

[Aniva66]

from 1930??

Wow,it's impressive. and i don't understand why the people don't believe in time machine,ufo,planet Nubiri,etc.,etc., ...why people don't know.

Maybe in tyhe past ,the human civilization was more and more progredited/progressed than our of nowdays.

People like Keely,Tesla,etc. nowdays all is occultated/occulted (sorry my English)

[comanchio1976]

@Aniva66 No time machine needed, just a typical eccentric British invention. Back in the days when we used to do that sort of thing..a lot!

[Aniva66]

@comanchio1976 ok,however in the past they were very advanced

[UnderManiac]

@Aniva66 Time machines will never be a reality. You cannot go backwards in time. Time and space are intertwined and inseparable. You can't have negative time, just like you can't have negative length.

[Aniva66]

@UnderManiac

I know : actually the time doesn't exist....it's just only an illusion.  it's just only space and matter in movement which get to change and get old....but it's a matter of space ...time doesn't exist.

So,i think it's possible go back in the past or straight on/(forward) in the future......also the quantum theory admit u can

[masseffect48]

@Aniva66 i have a question? if you destroy space do you also destroy time. like if i destroyed the space around an apple and the apple itself does that mean anything that has ever happened in that space is also destroyed.

P.S i know things can't be destroyed but just humor me.

[Aniva66]

@masseffect48

IMHO Time does NOT exist. It had ever NOT existed ..and it'll Never exist.

Is today different than yesterday for a matter of time? No. it's matter of space. The time is just only a watch..nothing else. It's space. The Earth turn around the Sun. We get to grow up just only because our own cells get too change and lose and move.It's just only a matter of movement...the space/the material which get to change,to move.It's space/material.Time doesn't exist. All is material in movement

[masseffect48]

@Aniva66 didn't mean to get you so upset. i was in a pseudo- high moment and a weird ideal came to me. i just figured you had some intresting insight and it apears i was wrong. my bad 

[McLarenMercedes]

@UnderManiac

That isn't actually true. Einstein showed that if a human travels at the speed of light in a spaceship then time will stand still for that person, and if that same person took a 20 year trip with constant light speed he'll see he is still the same age whereas people on Earth are 20 years older than when he left. Theoretically speaking you could go back in time if you travelled faster than light (but that itself is impossible because it's a constant).

[UnderManlac]

@McLarenMercedes I already know about time and space in accordance to Einstein. Yes, time does slow down the closer you get to the speed of light. He also said that time stops at the speed of light. That is one of the reasons you can't go faster than the speed of light, you can't gain any more momentum beyond that. Plus, matter that has mass cannot attain the speed of light. Only massless particles can do that. My familiarity with Einstein's theory of relativity is more than a passing one

[UnderManlac]

@McLarenMercedes Going backward in time is impossible. Nothing can go faster than the speed of light, so it's a moot point to mention going faster than the speed of light giving you time backwards. Time cannot flow backwards. Nowhere has Einstein ever referred to time travel to the past being even slightly possible. As I have said, "Space and time are intertwined and inseparable. Since you can't have negative length (width, or height), you can't have negative time."

[McLarenMercedes]

@UnderManiac

For your info they did test Einstein's claim that time goes slower closer to the speed of light. They put an atomic watch on an airplane and travelled a long distance. On the ground they had a identical atomic watch. The one the plane proved to be going slightly slower than the one on the ground.

Btw, wormholes are portals in spacetime, and although hypothetical, it should be possible to travel in time through those.

[UnderManlac]

@McLarenMercedes Actually, for your info, it was not a watch, but two extremely accurate atomic clocks, the size of VCR's. They proved that time slows down when in motion relative to a stationary position. GPS satellites have to be re-synchronized daily to keep them accurate as they orbit the earth (geosynchronous orbit). Otherwise, they would be off by miles. I have a clear understand about space-time as well as gravity..

[UnderManlac]

@McLarenMercedes Have you seen the videos asking the question, "what would happen if you were going near the speed of light and you turn on the headlights?" This is exactly what Einstein postulated and answered.  This is where he got his idea that, if light is constant, then time and space must change.

[Vebinz]

Like the vehicle from "Spiral Zone".

[redreaper2020]

needs a far better stabilization system. Look how much it wobbles--it'd make adriver sick.

Actually it's (in theory) a sound design, albeit impractical.

[blackXSpr]

@redreaper2020 This is from the 1930s dude lmfao

[Zockmare]

Mr.Garrisons car i much better :O

[Spongeb0bSqu4repants]

badass

[TheXand19]

That's a zombie ending device just waiting to happen.

[edthestudent]

lmao yes, this is from the 1960s, and in 1965 president clinton was accused of lying in the white house

[MuIdoon]

Cracked.

[calculusaffair]

At 0:46, I so wanted to yell, "Do YOU come with the car?"

[tkwtg]

max speed?

[alkalinecuban]

What kind of one-wheeled catastrophe could have possibly befallen such a person who would dislike this video?

[valleyshrew]

@alkalinecuban What you've written is one of the most idiotic things I have ever read. Next time you feel like making a comment related to the number of dislikes, please do everyone a favour and stick your head in an oven instead.

[alkalinecuban]

@valleyshrew Haha what?

[SilverMaiden]

now that's a wheel chair

[eckyspondoolie]

Does it come in red?

[CCSinventions]

@eckyspondoolie it comes in any color you want as long as you want black- Henry ford

[DavidslvPT]

@eckyspondoolie "You can Have Any Color as Long as It's Black," Henry Ford

[riveaa]

@DavidslvPT misquote

[steel54321]

@eckyspondoolie YOU MY FRIENDS CAN HAVE ANYTHING YOU WANT!!!! (as long as it's black)

[crazyclown36]

@eckyspondoolie it is red already can't you see?

[hunterziegelmann]

@crazyclown36 No it's not, it's obviously green!

[crazyclown36]

@hunterziegelmann oh yeah what was i thinking :( lol

[DoctorVince]

@eckyspondoolie Color wasn't invented in those days.

[Can101276]

Why isint there smoke pouring out like other cars of that day? why is the FAKE motor sound the nearly the same volume as it moves and accelerates? why does the sound just continue from clip to clip? Was this electric?

Very cool!

[UnderManiac]

@Can101276 It was likely driven by a small single stroke engine, something like a lawnmower engine or motor bike engine. It's a noisy thing. Very impractical.  No protection from the environment (rain, snow, wind). Very dangerous if struck by a vehicle, potentially deadly to it's passengers.

[CoNiGMa]

There's a more modern version of this that's like a gyro-mono-cycle. Look it up.

[jwallbanger]

isn't this the "IT" from south park, that's controlled by working a dildo up your ass and mouth?

[THEBIGBARRYBLACK]

lol

[klick71]

how would you see forward when going uphill?

[y2kmagna]

What happens when you need to make a sudden stop?

[KelliferandLanifer]

south parks worked way better

[caqtv]

I'd be more impressed if it was from the future, to be honest.

[psychgirl07]

That was cool

[deltapeco]

sorry to say if walking is faster than the top spead of the car, what good is it.guess thats y it never went into production,hehe

[Scykei]

it looks fun D:

[s0caltrukker]

Thats exactly what I need when I'm in rush hour traffic...Just roll right over the guy in front of me. lol

[zeejustin6]

did she died?

[packleader38]

id like to see an airbag go off in one of them things

[mikeroephonics]

If I ever met a woman like the one at the beginning that spoke like that, I'd walk in the opposite direction no matter what the circumstances were.

[DaNuke1810]

didnt mr.garrison invent something like that

[DOWNwithDICTATORS2]

Cup holders...how many cup holders? I have to have my coffee for the morning commute.

[piccard1976]

it didn't work because a woman invented it

[SAMIMYS]

anything that moves fast based on moment of inertia, it is out of control. or very hardly controllable.

[erikj9910]

WTF WHY DONT WE HAVE THESE ANYMORE THATS AWESOME

[clarencecmcgee]

Where is this thing today? What happened to it ?  what barn is it hiding in?

Don't tell me it webnt to the scrap yard!!

[khrixtian18]

Wheres the ashtray at??

[46Mongoose]

where is the ashtray?

[1surenolove4life3]

okay if this is from the 1960's or way back more... imagine what the goverment is keeping from us

[UnderManiac]

@1surenolove4life3 This wasn't kept from the public by government. It didn't catch on because it was very impractical and dangerous to it's passengers.

No protection from the environment (rain, snow, cold, heat). Not safe at all, if hit by a vehicle the thing would kill it's passengers.

[Stickman591]

that...is...AWSOME! 

[ryobie1]

Hit the brakes and spin like carzy!

[rockerojuan]

If you think military wise it's a good concept!

[N17C1]

HG Wells would have loved this!

[WickedGravityVideo]

I want a red one, with a cd player....

[oscarin919]

@WickedGravityVideo cd player ? come on whit one mp3 player !!

[camcam198]

1:16 she'l lubricate hahahaha

[scorpionexo400]

That thing looks awesome when it's moving



[hunnol]

what a rare and old invent, heheheh, admirable brittish accent of this distinguished lady

[ownerfate]

mono wheel ?

[1chrisdaman1]

but why? its slower than a car ( also than a car in the times back than ), its less steeringable ( i know its bad english ), Its a bumpyer ride than a car and Its more expensive than a car. So why? The only thing that can make this thing better care is that its cool the drive one....

[limtk55]

I'd like to see that thing make a U-turn

[dmun112]

Go offroading :D

[WilAzzamEdison]

fuckin Hamster driver

[daveygravey123456]

never heard the word slime sinse your mother said whats that dripping out my pussy... which was yesterday

[botoheadboy]

Hey Harvey, back up you just missed our left turn!!

[TheRalphus666]

Most of the comments on here are hilarious you have to read them.

[TheRalphus666]

On some show this guy sort of made the same thing but a motorcycle in the middle,he starts it up and crashes it at the end of the clip.

[vincentweb]

hahhaaa its funny. but because of old day we have today technologies.

[ffaizj]

just couple a gyro and feedback system to it and way u go.

[1TheBlindLeader1]

Oh, how impractical.

[djfozzieg]

I would love to go to MC Donalds drive through in one of those : - )

[sunniski]

On the street, getting broad sided would sting a bit. especially a snow tire, lol.

[AriqoFlip]

imagine if you forgot to oil the wheel

[BadCompany2Extreme]

It's not a one wheeled car, cars have 4 wheels, its just a wheel that you sit inside

[vinceythefly]

I want to see it jam and the inside go turning round with the driver as well.

[AznVeteran1996]

Imagine that going down a hill =]

[johnstarr2001]

Put foot down to stop it. Its like a hamster wheel without the stand. Have anyone ever touched a hamster when its is running in a wheel. The hamster stops but the wheel keeps turning thous swinging it around upside down a few times lol.

[DrOhcysp]

go 40 then hit the brakes!  :-D

[Laseranders]

Haha, it's the same accent as colonel Odessa Cubbage!

[theonlywinner]

THis is how the Segway (Seque?) was invented.

[Kitana6662004]

lol, that looks safe...

[gonen32]

General Grivius had one.And mr. Garrison .

[mastifiorulamitongla]

braking may be a slight problem... and after driving through mud, i wonder what will be dripping down through the gratiing above.

[fairyheli2]

damn I hate the accent, I am British btw

[2012Video]

this iss car from carmageddon game

[MrRockett24]

WHEN THAT BABY HITS 88MPH....YOUR GONNA SEE SOME SERIOUS SHIT!!!!!!!!!
