Ok read the article in the NYT now- it is a bit C5 ish, and too heavy at present but with lightweight materials (carbon fibre?) it might be a proposition. Can you carry stuff on it eg shopping etc or would that wreck the gyroscopic control?

Useful on supertankers, for hospital porters and posties, but, like an umbrella, I worry it 'd be a pain in the **** when you weren't actually using the thing.

You have to register to read the article. What it's do then?

 

This is the thing that was supposed to revolutionise society and all that?

 

Yep
