geared unicycle?
My dad had the idea of puting a hydrostatic drive on a unicycle which, I think, can be continously variable. I am no mechanical engineer and so I have no idea of how to make it work but if it could be done that would be really cool. Anyone have an idea of how someone could make this work?

Hydrostatic drives from what I remember only become efficient when you are
looking at high torque low speed. They are not very efficient but are used because they are really good at driving multiple wheels from a single hydraulic pack. Hence there use on cranes and tractors. In fact I am not sure if it would work at all because as it is fitted on tractors, you set the revs on the engine to produce enough hydraulic pressure then release it to the wheels, not really a direct drive as you would want it on a unicycle.

Weren't you looking for a physics project, David?
