Feasibility studies have shown that a flywheel powered vehicle will increase fuel economy under the city driving. So, some designs of drive train system which has high efficiency and can regenerate breaking energy by a flywheel storage unit have been contrived. But, far from it, the most interesting subject to be taken up first is the analysis of the gyroidal effect on vehicle's motions and durability of equipment. The author has analysed theoretically how the gyroidal effect has influence on vehicle's motions under bouncing, braking and cornering. Next, the author has built a prototype flywheel powered vehicle on this analytical basis and check the dyanmic behaviour predicted by the theory and obtain some preliminaly road performance data.
