This Monorail Actually Worked, So What Went Wrong?
A Train That Balanced Itself on One Rail?!It looked wobbly, weird, and totally wrong — but the Brennan Monorail actually worked… and worked brilliantly. Invented in the early 1900s by Louis Brennan, this train balanced on a single rail using nothing but a gyroscope. No tricks, no hidden wheels — just clever engineering that seemed to defy gravity.
It could lean into turns like a pro, stay upright when standing still, and run smoother than regular trains. So why haven’t you ever ridden one?
👉 Watch now to uncover the story of the train that shouldn’t have worked… but did. And don’t forget to subscribe for more forgotten inventions and bizarre breakthroughs!
