1. Introduction of WindRunner™
1.1 How do a WindRunner work?
The WindRunner™ is a dual-wheel self-balanceable electrically operated vehicle, a revolutionary
ride-instead-of-walk and recreational tool. The driver may operate the movement of WindRunner by standing on
it, and shifting his/her body. The WindRunner itself may automatically keep balance and the driver does not have
to worry about the risk of falling.
With the built-in electronic gyro, the on-board high speed CPU may calculate in 200 times/s whether the
mainframe of WindRunner is balanced forward and backward or not. If not, the CPU may control the motor on both
left and right sides to rotate rapidly, and keep the WindRunner balanced. The self-balancing function, allows the
driver to stand on the WindRunner with his body inclined forward. The mainframe may automatically enable its
wheels to move forward, and the WindRunner will move forward; and vice versa. Simply turn the handle left and
right.
Because the balance of WindRunner™ completely depends on the good functioning of a high speed CPU,
precision gyro, and motor, if any one of them has troubles, the WindRunner may lose balance. The WindRunner™
has a hot back-up dual-redundant control system which ensures that all key circuit systems shall be doubled.
Therefore, if any one of the key modules fails to work, the backup may be put into operation so as to maximize the
safe riding.
