This disclosure relates generally to vehicles propulsion based on the use of natural gravitational forces and, in some instances, the use of electric motor control. In some examples, a spherical assembly includes a spherical encasing a first motor connected to a first weight, a second motor connected to a second weight, and a power generator configured to supply power to the first motor and to the second motor. The spherical assembly may also include a controller that is configured to cause the first motor to rotate the first weight in a first direction at a first rotational speed and the second motor to rotate the second weight in a second direction at a second rotational speed based on the rotational speed of the spherical assembly. The controller may also be configured to cause the power generator to generate power for the first motor and the second motor.

A mount bushing includes an outer mounting ring adapted for connection to a mount structure. An outer structural ring is disposed inside of the outer mounting ring. A main elastomeric isolation arrangement is disposed between the outer structural ring and an inner structural insert, wherein the main elastomeric isolation arrangement is supported between the outer structural ring and the inner structural insert by elastomer material. An outer ring isolation layer of elastomer is disposed between the outer mounting ring and the outer structural ring, wherein the outer ring isolation layer is isolated from the main elastomeric isolation arrangement by the outer structural ring. A mounting bolt is inserted through a bore in the inner structural insert.
