Welcome to the gyroscope forum. If you have a question about gyroscopes in general,
want to know how they work, or what they can be used for then you can leave your question here for others to answer.
You may also be able to help others by answering some of the questions on the site.

| Question: |
Dear Gyronaughts,
As this section of the forum needs livening up..........
I have found another old video in a loft – Oh! So many lofts! Oh! So much junk! – which shows both the primary and secondary stroke of my gyro impulse drive (See! Captain Kirk got it right all along!). Anyone with a bit of imagination will be able to see how to make my fast repeater – I only ask for acknowledgements if you only make it for your own amusement and education and not for profit. As I am getting old and tired and it might get lost forever, I have decided to put some of it up on You Tube here:-

The fabulous Papay eetay, Tahiti drums are worth a listen on their own.
There are at least three ways of going between the first and second stroke on my machine without losing the impulse gained in each stroke. That is in addition to the rather time and energy expensive means of stopping the gyros between each stroke. Can I smell a few brains smoking?
Kind regards
NM |

| | | Dear Nitro,
I HAVE A REQUEST.
I have looked at your video and just as I saw the earlier one, I could not write it off. I have tried to brake it down here to simple logic – still it appears to be propulsion, period.
1) The string-connection reacts forward to to the thrust.
2) The vertical alinement of the pendulum follows the connection, creating an angle from gravity.
3) The pendulum then reciprocates and drives the apparatus back and forth as it attempts to find a vertical equilibrium.
3) Each time the apparatus moves in one direction, the pendulum plum bob moves in the opposite direction.
4) As each, apparatus and plum-bob advance toward one another, the strokes become shorter. (More than friction explains? as if that would make a difference.)
5) The first forward pendulum swing is more powerful than the last. The difference in the swing from the first to the last seems to be the distance of the total movement of the apparatus.
6) I do not understand precisely how, but it appears that precession, our old friend, is both the cause and the explanation.
It is a find and wonderfully clever idea. By the way, you are a handsome figure of a man, almost equal to me. : )
Nitro, if you can find the time, will you please video a clip of the same set up, but without the disk rotating?
Much Regards Glenn,

| | | If you will not present both, a spinning disk test and non-spinning dist test using the same set up. . .
If you continue to refuse to reply to this question presented to you by a member of the audience you demonstrated the one-half test to. . .
. . . Then as this is only the proper and correct to do as demanded by accepted in science. .
Then I declare the test to be a sham.
Osculation, time and friction must be the culprit.
Prove me wrong and receive my applause.

| | | Sorry, but was in my cups, so to speak, but still it is essentially true. You've got to do another test and show it.
Glenn,

| | | NM, others,
I'm a 30 year old engineers son who love design challenges, I have had a similar basic concept in my head for several years. I have approached physics doctorates, engineers, geniuses, and none have disagreed the concept, yet no one seems to care... I have several ideas on how to greatly improve the efficiency, and several ideas for very exciting applications (no not flying cars).
Unfortunately after going through patents I found one from early 2000's from an American gentleman which basically details this exactly (though I am unable to find it today, I wish I had bookmarked it instead of closing the computer in rage). In spare time I am trying to re-find the patent and check if it's still valid.
Luckily today I found this forum (I was aware of the site) and have spent a few hours going through different threads.
I hope this year to build a working model to prove the idea. I'm based in Yorkshire and if anyone would like to share resource/time please post here and get in touch, I believe a few more hands would be very beneficial.
Andy
