Cool. More like an underwater 'monocycle', though. Make it into a full body struct in Y shape acting as kind of both 'guidon' and secondary propulsion axis -- more blades, an underwater tricycle. :)



Is a Monocycle something different to a Unicycle?


Apparently! I did not expect such a nice find after asking search engine this:

> There are two main types of single-wheeled vehicles. In a unicycle, the rider sits above the wheel. These vehicles are recognizable by most people. Less well known is the monocycle, where the rider sits inside the wheel.


The famous South Park episode was a monocycle!

Axel from the Twisted Metal video games drove a dicycle!
