 Chris, some of us have a passion to solve the mystery of what the gyroscope holds, one day it will be discovered, this forum may be where it will happen and when it does a little bit of history will be made. We want to discover the secrect of Gyroscopic Propulsion, do you have any ideas?

Regards Steve

 I saw the original christmas lecture on tv when I was twelve and have been hooked ever since.
I've got a few ideas but have discarded many over the years.
finaly think i've figured out why a gyroscope behaves the way it does but I cannot explain it in the mathematical terms you all use.
i've decided to get on and build my (thing)and if it works ill show you all free of charge.
the principle is easy. the engineering is a nightmare, but I've started now and it wont let me go.

 P.S
It needs a big engine.

 Chris,
This forum has multiple categories.
In one category (“Basic Gyroscope Questions”) interested people may ask and seek to understand gyro behaviors. Which behaviors are being sought for understanding depends on which (physical and mental) experiments have been performed and what the results were.
The other category is “Gyroscopic Propulsion” where people ask and sometimes share regarding how gyros may be used to propel devices forward. If this is accomplished with sufficient force then it will be called “flying,” with lesser force they can be space thrusters or such.
Thanks, Luis
