Last Monday the inventor Dean Kamen finally unveiled his famous “Ginger” secret project. As many people correctly guessed last January, Ginger is a new electric scooter officially called Segway and notable primarily for its gyroscope-powered, automatic propulsion system. Step onto a Segway, think about going forward, and the gyroscopes under your feet sense a slight forward tilt in your posture and promptly whisk you onwards...
