This document summarizes a project to create a self-balancing two-wheeled vehicle using a gyroscope. A team of 4 students at ICFAI University Tripura submitted the project under the guidance of Dr. K. Kantha Rao. The objective was to ensure rider safety by developing a compact, low power vehicle that maintains balance. Gyroscopes produce gyroscopic effects that can counteract external forces and stabilize objects. The team designed a prototype with a flywheel gyroscope connected to a motor to produce stabilizing torque and counteract impacts. Testing showed the gyroscopic effect helped balance the prototype and stabilize it when the wheels lost balance.

2 INTRODUCTION Motorbike is a very popular transport around the globe. It has been very popular due to its energy efficiency, compact design, convenience and attractive look. Many youngsters consider it as fashionable ride while people in the developing country often use it as a low priced vehicle with better fuel efficiency. However, despite of the features and popularity motorbike has lack of safety and is very risky. Therefore, motorbike accidents are fatal. The major lacking in motorbike addressing the safety features are the passenger’s body is exposed during ride time which allows the passengers to get off the vehicle and exposes him to impact with roadside elements and the chance of damage is limitless. We designed a vehicle which can minimize the damage during an impact. So to overcome this drawback of balancing self-stability of two wheeler is achieve by gyroscopic effect. The gyroscopic effect is widely used in air or sea vehicles such as air planes and ships; where in always external disturbing couple is acting on the vehicle.
3 OBJECTIVE Challenges over controlling the bicycle are mainly: Balancing the two-wheeler bicycle without support of any extra support is one of the biggest challenges. A bicycle remains upright when it is steered so that the ground reaction forces exactly balance all the other internal and external forces, such as gravitational if leaning, inertial or centrifugal if in a turn, gyroscopic if Fig 1:- Selfbalance two wheeler being steered, and aerodynamic if in a crosswind. vehicle The objective of building a self-balanced two wheeler vehicle is mainly to ensure safety of the rider. We are trying to make a compact size vehicle for low power consumption too.
4 PROBLEM STATEMENT Now a day, if person have to commute from one place to another he has to use bike or a car. Those who commute with car don’t need effort for self-balancing of vehicle but in case of bikes balancing is very important particularly at low speed. So to overcome this drawback of balancing self-stability of two wheeler is achieve by gyroscopic effect .
5 LITERATURE REVIEW Pawel Bethke,Rafal Dlugosz and Tomasz Talaska, “ Project and realization of a two wheels balancing vehicle”, 20th International Conference "Mixed Design of Integrated Circuits and Systems", June 20- 22, 2013, Gdynia, Poland. Gyroscopes can deliver a major contribution towards stabilization of two wheeler vehicle. It has been speculated that gyroscopically stabilized vehicles would have higher safety with respect to normal two wheelers. The dynamic stabilization of a two-wheeled vehicle requires that a torque acting on the vehicle naturally be neutralized by a torque produced within the vehicle by a gyroscope. DESIGN CALCULATIONS OF A TWO WHEELER SELF BALANCED VEHICLE Hemashree Kakar1 B.Tech. Mechanical Engineering, Department of Mechanical Engineering The factors which affect balancing are mass distribution, the center of mass of the system, steering of the vehicle towards left or right, acceleration & most importantly gyroscopic effect. The paper deals with an experiment carried out to produce the gyroscopic effect on a small prototype. The prototype is a two-wheel vehicle in which rotating discs imparted act as a gyroscope to produce a counterbalancing force (gyroscopic effect) when the vehicle prototype loses balance on either side. Thus the vehicle stabilizes itself.
6 APPLICATION Gyroscopic stabilization concept can be used in motor bikes for advance stability and safety Electric powered flywheel gyroscope insert in a bicycle
wheel is being sold as a training wheel alternated
Example-smartphone, game devices, sensor etc
7 GYROSCOPE A gyroscope is a device that uses Earth's gravity to help determine orientation. Its design consists of a freely-rotating disk called a rotor, mounted into a spinning axis in the centre of a larger and more stable wheel.

8 GYROSCOPIC EFFECT
The gyroscopic effect is widely used in air planes and ships, where in always external disturbing couple is acting on the vehicle. Thus, for the stability of such vehicles it is essential to neutralize the effect of external disturbing couple which can be done by applying equal and opposite couple. Accordingly, to generate equal and opposite reactive couple it is essential to vary the magnitude and direction of velocity of precession. The active gyroscopic couple represents rate of change of angular momentum, and this couple must be applied to disc across the axis of spin to cause it to process in the horizontal plane. When the axis of spin process itself or is made to process the shaft on which the disc is mounted applies reactive gyroscopic couple. This reactive gyroscopic couple thus produced by the gyroscope is equal to the external disturbance but it is in opposite direction. Thus this couple neutralizes the effect of disturbance and stabilizes the object.
9 WORKING PRINCIPLE The prototype of a self-balanced gyroscopic vehicle is so designed that whenever an impact occurs on it, due to the production of the gyroscopic couple it gets stabilized. Once the motor starts rotating, the disc fitted on the motor shaft start rotating. The rotation of the disc leads to the production of the gyroscopic effect (as mentioned for a disc in the introduction) thus, when the wheels lose their balance due to the active gyroscopic couple a counteracting reactive gyroscopic couple is produced in the opposite direction due to gyroscopic effect thus stabilizing the prototype. This occurs on both left as well as the right-hand side. Thus, due to rotation of the gyroscope, a counteracting reactive gyroscopic couple leads to the stabilization of the prototype.
