Equilibria of a Unicycle
This is a very rough attempt at deriving useful conclusions from the equations of motion of a unicycle. It was inspired by my brother’s desire to buy one: my brother is large (almost 2 m tall, and around 100 Kg) and I wanted to know how the usual recommendations for beginners (a 20" unicycle) would work for him. Does a large fellow need a large wheel? The equations have turned out to be too complex of me to be able to make much sense out of them. But I haven’t lost hope. ...
