so, after two years, it finally happened π i forgot to post something π (i’m writing this on sunday) … this fact seems relevant π
#tdil about a mad forgotten invention called the ‘dynasphere’ π³
as you can imagine, there have been a whole lot of inventions throughout history … meaning that some have inevitably been forgotten π’
this beast was invented by a dude called dr.j a purves frse back in 1930 π and was inspired by sketches made by leo da vinci ππ»
there were two prototypes made – a leccy one and a gasoline one. it featured a mad iron lattice and an interior on rails that stayed at the bottom of the sphere.
it could manage about 25/30mph but had rubbish steering … so the driver literally had to lean out of the side of the contraption to make it turn π
pretty cool, hey? π well … it had a few issues π for starters, sometimes accelerating or braking hard would cause the driver compartment to fly around the circle π
it was issues like the above and the lack of steering that eventually killed the invention … before going down however, an 8 seater was invented for beach use π
and that’s that! π what a crazy time π
laters! π #tdil
