Segway Technology: What's Newton Got to Do with It?

In this video, physicist, engineer, and inventor Dean Kamen shares insights into the role of physics in his engineering and the invention process. Kamen explains how Newton's laws of motion are key to the design and operation of two of his inventions, the IBOT and the Segway Human Transporter, both of which are self-propelled, self-balancing devices that help people move around.
