✓ Electrical motors drive the position of thependulum thus generating torque makingthe wheels move in opposite directions ifneed be
✓ The greater the weight of the pendulum& the further from the center of gravityof the axis, the greater the thrust of thewheels
✓ In this concept typically negativeelements such as battery weight becomepositive factors as they increase thepropulsion power
