I just noticed that some of the text in the third paragraph is taken word for word from:

http://www.douglas-self.com/MUSEUM/TRANSPORT/gyrocars/gyrocar.htm#gyrob, which is:

"The Brennan gyrocar worked on the same basic principle as the gyro-monorail. Two contra-rotating gyros were housed under the front seats, spun in a horizontal plane at 3500rpm by 24V electric motors powered from standard car batteries. This was the greatest speed obtainable with the electric motors available, and meant that each rotor had to weigh 200lb to generate sufficient forces. Precession was in the vertical fore-aft plane."
