	Strange Vehicles: Bombardier Embrio
		The Bombadier Embrio uses gyroscopic technology to balance itself and the rider on one wheel, however the smaller front wheel acts as stability control when the Embrio is stopped or traveling below 12mph.
		Bombadier drew on its experience with recreational vehicles when it came to design of the Embrio and it is intended for people who enjoy transport, this is evident in the styling and the necessity to lean into turns similar to a motorbike.
		Control of the Embrio is facilitated by a trigger control on the left handlebar for acceleration, and a trigger on the right for braking.

	Protein® Feed - Embrio Wheel (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Embrio, Bombardier's new concept monowheel is balanced by gyros and like all good vapourware vehicles, is powered by magic hydrogen fuel-cells and some all-essential night-vision and ATV-style active suspension.
		The Embrio is powered by a hydrogen fuel cell, a technology that creates power by mixing hydrogen and oxygen, ideally resulting in water as the only exhaust.
		To move the Embrio, you use an accelerator trigger on the left handlebar and a brake trigger on the right.

		The EMBRIO concept is a recreational and commuting vehicle that uses gyroscopic and electronic technology.
		The Bombardier EMBRIO concept has no working prototype just yet, it is more a styling exercise for designers, if it were to be built it would use technology like the Segway human transporter.

		Indeed, the Embrio could attract people who drive a more fun sort of vehicle, what with its motorcycle-derived styling cues and, like an ATV, the fact that you have to lean in order to turn.
		Although Bombardier says the gyroscopes are enough to balance the Embrio, the vehicle is also kept longitudinally stable by a smaller wheel that operates like an airplane's landing gear.
		Once the Embrio is in motion, the landing gear will retract when the vehicle reaches about 12 mph.

	Biker News: Bombardier EMBRIO - One-Wheeled Motorcycle?
		The thing is powered by fuel cells, and uses the same gyroscopic balancing technology that made the Segway famous.
		With a riding position similar to a motorcycle, the EMBRIO uses a complex series of sensors and gyroscopes to balance one or more human passengers on a single wheel.
		Bombardier says that even without the landing gear, the EMBRIO will remain stable and upright because of the gyroscope.

		Some observers have speculated the Embrio could be a Segway killer, but the makers of the one-year-old Segway aren't so sure.
		But the only driver tossing an Embrio in his trunk would be on his way to an Iron Man competition -- the vehicle will likely weigh in at 360 pounds.

		When the Embrio is parked the small front wheels deploy to the ground, like an aircraft's landing gear, to keep it stable.
		However, the Embrio should be stable even without the small wheels when stationary thanks to the controlling gyroscope.
		Industry observers disagree over which aspect of the Embrio's technology will be the most difficult to realise but certainly gyroscopes don't seem to be a limiting factor.

	Really Cool Toys News: EMBRIO Concept Uni-Cycle!
		This hydrogen fuel cell powered, gyroscopically balanced, one-wheeled recreational and commuting vehicle provides an extraordinary vision of the kind of personal transport we could be using in the near future.
		The design brief for Bombadier EMBRIO Concept was to "create highly innovative, functional and exciting products to exceed people's recreational needs" and find the "next thing" in recreational vehicles.
		The result is a futuristic and minimalistic one-wheeler that is as about far away as you can get from the conventional image of a uni-cycle - a mode of transport normally associated with circuses and street parades.

		When the EMBRIO concept is at rest in "stand-by configuration", the front wheels deploy to the ground like landing gear on a plane to increase longitudinal stability.
		The landing gear retracts when the vehicle speed reaches 20 km/h but even without the landing gear, the EMBRIO would be stable when motionless because of the gyroscope.

		If you associate the Embrio with the Segway technology rather than a shaky pedal powered unicycle, it's a lot easier to see this vehicle's capabilities.
		There's no bells and whistles, only what's necessary to get you from point A to point B and it's small enough to be stored in a closet or the corner of your den.

		A conceptual vehicle powered by a fuel cell and therefore emitting only water as a byproduct, the Embrio was designed to look into the future of transport circa 2025.
		I'm not sure if drivers will be a lot more ballsy by then or what, because I can't imagine a lot of people lining up to zip around on a unicycle at 70 mph.

	Bombardier Embrio - a cool concept is back
		The Bombardier Embrio is a transportation concept that originally popped up in 2003, got a lot of coverage at the time and then disappeared from the public consciousness.
		It uses the same gyroscope technology to keep it upright and rolling, though it does have a second wheel that comes into use when you are going less than 12 mph so you don’t fall flat on your face.
		It probably won’t this time, either, but it sure would be fun to have one of those in your parking space.
