Segways

Dean Kamen has invented a number of medical and other devices. He invented the first portable insulin pump, the first home dialysis machine, the iBot (a wheelchair that can stand on two wheels and climb stairs) and many other things.

He is currently working on a number of projects including a prosthetic arm with 12 degrees of freedom, a system to allow soldiers to jump 4 to 5 stories in a single leap, and low cost, small low maintenance water purification and electric generator systems for the developing world.

A Segway weighs 95 lbs with batteries!

The average price range of a Segway depends on what level of Segway is desired. For a base model, the going price is usually near $4,700, but if you get a newer generation model it can be an average of $6,500 for a segway.

People look silly riding them. In addition, they are rather expensive (at $5000 apiece) and most cities are not well set up for them. People and Segways don't cohabit sidewalks very well.

segways are not dangerous unless you light in on fire!

Muriwai Beach in Australia is famous for its gannet colony. Every from August to March about 1,200 pairs of gannets nest there.

Yes, most MCU's can not multi task it can run only one program at a time, so if you run a stepperor servo motor from one MCU it will slow down the whole program so, if you have send the command from the main MCU to the other one that is controlling the stepper or servo the main MCU can go on doing other things while the stepper MCU can take its time taking the stepper motor thru its paces If you have to run more than one stepper and using only one MCU, the MCU will have to drive the one stepper with one pulse and then the next stepper, you don't need a large MCU to drive a stepper only 4 bits is needed a 8 pin PIC like the PIC12F675 is all you need, GP0 to GP3 can drive the stepper while the chip can receive commands on GP5 that is a input pin only ,then you still have GP4 spare to drive a LED or a relay or you can use it as a DTR to send an interrupt to the main MCU and tell it that its done with the last command and ready for the next.

A string of commands can be received by the 12F675 in serie on one pin and be stored in onboard EEPROM for use as needed

Cheaper by the Dozen (1950), starring Clifton Webb and Myrna Loy, was originally released in color.

It creates stability. Since aristocracy is inherited, the sons (and sometimes daughters) are trained to take over the fathers' duties.

A formal aristocracy saves the very rich class the need to spend money to corrupt government officials and spend billions $ on influencing election results.

See the related links section of this question. Our inspiration for the name Segway came from the word segue (pronounced the same) which is defined as, "to transition smoothly from one state to another." A Segway PT transforms a person into an empowered pedestrian, allowing him/her to go farther, move more quickly and carry more.

The i2 costs about $6500 and the x2 costs about $7500. Used ones start at about $3000 and the price largly depends on how much use/battery condition. The batteries are the most expensive part at about $1700 a pair. When buying a Segway get the serial number and contact Segway.com to ensure that the unit isn't stolen prior to paying any money.

It is up to the store, or more likely, given that no formal rules exist, to the discretion of the employees and managers present at the scene.

Creationism, intelligent design, and other claims of supernatural intervention in the origin of life or of species are not science because they are not testable by the methods of science. To be termed scientific, a method of inquiry must be based on gathering observable, empirical and measurable evidence subject to specific principles of reasoning. A scientific method consists of the collection of data through observation and experimentation, and the formulation and testing of hypotheses. Intelligent design relies on supernatural explanations that are often not testable nor reproducible. When testable 'experiments' are conducted their conclusions neither lend support or disprove anything with respect to intelligent design. They merely allow for a convenient segway to talk about creationism and other arguments which rely on faith.

bicycles, space shuttles, airplanes and yo-yos. there are lots of other uses too.

some of deans kamens inventions are the... segway- human transporter. water purifier- you can pee in that thing, but in the end the only thing you'll drink is pure, clean water.(: "Luke" arm.- it's a prostetic arm, but it's robotic. gentle enough to pick up a grape without squishing it. and i think maybe a couple others. reas more about him.=DD

Segways were invented in 2001.

Yes, as long as you don't go on the interstate, and use common sense. A 49cc is considered a "moped" or "motorized bicycle". They are only "designed" to go about 30 mph, so try to stay on roads 45 mph or under, or you will be a hazard. I have a 49cc and it's perfect for commuting and local trips - no place over 45 mph. And wear a helmet - not only will it protect you, but it gives you and the drivers around you confidence that you know what you are doing (I know that sounds crazy, but it's true).

chapter 10, parts 1-5:

(34) 'Motorized bicycle' means a vehicle with two (2) or three (3) wheels, an automatic transmission, and a motor with a cylinder capacity not exceeding fifty (50cc) which produces no more than two (2) brake horsepower and is capable of propelling the vehicle at a maximum design speed of no more than thirty miles per hour (30 mph) on level ground. The operator of a motorized bicycle must be in possession of a valid operator's license, and shall be subject to all applicable and practical rules of the road. A motorized bicycle may not be operated on a highway of the interstate and highway system, any similar limited access multilane divided highway, or upon sidewalks.

55-4-101. Registration required before operation - Issuance of registration and license plates: (k) The owner of a motorized bicycle may, subject to the approval of the commissioner, apply for registration and registration plates for such motorized bicycle. Each applicant for registration shall be charged the same registration taxes imposed on Class (A) motor vehicles.
