I saw the "Unstoppable ATV" on u2b [link] and it got me
thinking of an easy way to park: If there was a way to
bring
up the center of gravity (e.g. by pumping water) when
parking, and then to "roll" the car sideways it would be a
fast
way to get into parking with no extra wheels or moving
parts.
You'de need the door located in a new place, and you
can't
leave loose stuff around in the car, because it will fall to
the
side. But it will look cool and get attention for the 2012
new
car concept contest, or for the finals for an industrial
designer student.

Like fuel, lubricants, hydraulic fluids, battery electrolyte. |

These problems aren't insuperable; gel batteries can be inverted, and aircraft have systems designed to endure substantial negative-G. |

No, gimbals is the question. "No" is the answer. |
