Default MXX - Light twins not using contra-rotating propellers



THIS :

Yes, through momentum. But this momentum is eroded by irreversible
effects such as friction with the ground and air. Eventually none is
left, and the bicycle stops.

PLUS THIS:

The cyclist balances it, assisted by the gyroscopic stabilizing effect
of the turning wheel (the heavier it is and the faster it turns, the
better).



EQUALS THIS :

"Yes, I was completely wrong, and everything I wrote was complete bull****,
based on a complete lack of understanding of the facts. . ."

You stated that power to the rear wheel and "traction" were the two requisite
conditions for stability. You specifically and obstinantly discounted
momentum and ANY effet induced by the cyclist.




The giants' shoulders are abraded, and becoming prurient through this abuse.
How much longer do we have to endure it? When will you send us a benediction
and say you have simply decided to give up on us, because we're all too
stupid to deserve your attention, and you have decided to focus your efforts
on alt.medicine.insanity. . .
