The Dynasphere (A Dash of Info)

Send us Fan MailIn the early 1930s, crowds gathered on a British beach to watch a bizarre machine roll past—a giant wheel with a man riding inside it. This was the Dynasphere, a radical experiment by inventor Dr. J.A. Purves, who believed the future of transportation didn’t need four wheels, a chassis, or even a traditional steering wheel.Driven from the inside, the Dynasphere promised simplicity, efficiency, and speed. Newsreels called it “the car of the future,” and spectators were captivated. But behind the spectacle were serious problems: unstable steering, awkward braking, poor visibility, and almost zero practicality for real roads.In this episode, we explore how the Dynasphere worked, why it failed, and why it still fascinates us today. It didn’t change the world—but it reminds us that bold ideas, even the ones that don’t succeed, push innovation forward. Being Me Is the Best Thing to Be by Judy Erb tells the story of Honey, a curious little turtle who learns that being herself is the very best thing to be. It's a wonderful read for children, parents, and grandparents, celebrating self-confidence and self-acceptance.
