Question
Asked by: bob waddell
Subject: xyz gyro
Question: What would happen when three gyros are arranged with rotations in the xyz axis? Such a device could be manufactured with the x and y gyros nested inside the z using hubless gyro rings on a common former. If the stored energy from the xy and z is balanced (by varying the ring densities and/or velocities) my guess is that the device would act as if its mass was being multipied but that the force of gravity would only act on the stationary mass of the device. Probably completely useless but it would make a great toy.
p.s. I have an AutoCad solid model of this device if anyone wants to make it (must have own lathe and milling machine).

 I enjoy making 3d renderings also. Would it be possible to recieve an image or the autocad file? Your idea sounds very interesting.

 Would you be able to e-mail the AutoCad model to me? I have to make a model assembly for my Engineering Graphics class and am interested in seeing how you did the solid model on the program.
