TVA Gazelle - 4-wheel tilting car/bike hybrid

 

TVA Gazelle - 4-wheel tilting car/bike hybrid

TVA Gazelle tilting 4-wheeler is a car which is not at all wider or heavier with an ability to tilt for stability around the corners. The Australian inventor Philip James has designed this vehicle that will make well over 100 mpg with the help of the vehicle design. Its steering wheel is totally isolated from the front wheels because of Gazelle’s radical new steering and handling system.

Tilting 3- and 4-wheelers like the Carver, Phiaro and Venture are a step in the right direction, says James, but they still can’t offer total stability because the steering is still directly connected to the steering wheel - so when traction is lost or the vehicle goes to topple under cornering forces, the driver is completely responsible for any corrective action; a fundamental issue with any vehicle that uses direct steering control.

 TVA Gazelle - 4-wheel tilting car/bike hybrid

James’ solution is simple yet revolutionary - his narrow, 4-wheel TVA Gazelle concept cars connects the steering wheel directly and exclusively to the vehicle’s tilt angle. The front wheels are effectively then completely free to dynamically respond to the vehicle’s momentum and inertia, turning into the lean all by themselves and maintaining exceptional stability in corners. This cue vehicle seems like a dream come true for all those who are fed up of rising traffic on roads.

Table Football or more familiarly, Foosball isn’t that expensive a game compared to the tangible version. They don’t buy or sell players, you don’t even need a ticket to watch them play, and all that you need is a table. But even then, the opulence factor from the real world is seemingly hitting hard on the fictional world with the introduction of the crystal foosball tables from Teckell Collection. The opulence truly is well defined in this case as even the foos-men aren’t the ones conventionally done in plastic, metal or wood and they instead chose to be done in radiant aluminum. All this arrangement of posh metal usage arguably makes it the most expensive foosball table in the world. Pricing hasn’t been disclosed, but you could expect a stocky price tag attached to these crystal foosball tables for sure.
