It's an interesting thought. Maybe it could work. If not, it would be
because in Open Source software the user and developer worlds have
large overlaps.

suppose I had a design for a unicycle part, or assembly,or ....
(not an unlikely event: in fact I have...)
I could patent the thing ... a cumbersome process...
or publish it under public licence so that it could be amended,
augmented
and, who knows? end up in a *real* thing being built... who knows?

my goal would be to have my dreams come true not to become a
professional
inventor.

Wait i have a better idea! I'll Build one!

If i use that crappy chrome torker and get a spare frame, i'll just
follow my blueprint. I'll need a good hacksaw and a hammer or something
to bend the frame.

Good luck. I would look out for the extra bit of axel that will be
sticking out of each side. That would not be nice on the legs.

Yeah.. i may just cut those off... but if i do that means no turning
back, you know?

But i don't expect it will be easy to turn while riding anyway....

It might be easier to just use an old bicycle front fork and weld a
couple of flat steel pieces with right angles in them. One should be
able to spread the fork enough to get a front bicycle wheel into the
axle slots of the fork.

On top of the fork's head tube, one could mount either a bicycle handle
bar or a unicycle seat.

Sincerely,

Ken Fuchs
