"Power" is unrelated to the gyroscopic stability in the equation. Bicycles travel a large propoortion of the time without application of power to either wheel. 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. As long as there is power to the wheel, it will compensate for any losses, and the bicycle will continue to move. Similarly, as long as the bicycle has momentum, it will continue to move. In both cases, as long as the wheels retain their traction with the ground, the bicycle will not fall. -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail. |
