MONOCAB OWL

[freebeard]

I look at this and think of all the old rail lines that have been removed ]prematurely].

Up the Row river in Lane County, Broadmead to Perrydale in Polk County. It is even gauge-agnostic.

This would enable continuous two-way traffic, or allow spur lines that don't even need cross ties.

How does it work?

[freebeard]

Blue smoke and mirrors, apparently.

Racist Youtube has videos from a year ago and 2 months ago. They all show an outrigger to the opposing rail.

My introduction was at INVENTIONS THAT WILL SOON CHANGE THE WORLD ▶3 @ 10:19 where it obfuscates the outrigger but does have four landing gear. I think the outrigger is for public demonstrations, the one shot at the end may have been empty.

I want to believe.

I wonder if some sort of outrigger shaped like a mild ramp that conforms to the rail, such that another vehicle could drive over it could work? Probably not, but thinking with text.

[freebeard]

They could call is a derailleur.

I think its lawyers. They know liabilities but are ignorant of precession.

Gyro monorail
The gyro monorail, gyroscopic monorail, gyro-stabilized monorail, or gyrocar are terms for a single rail land vehicle that uses the gyroscopic action of a spinning wheel to overcome the inherent instability of balancing on top of a single rail.

That's the beauty of startups. You do first, and apologize later. That's what Uber did, as well as those scooter companies, to name just a couple. Worst case is you don't have a business, which is the default state of being.
