Question

Asked by: John Farrell
Subject: Psycology and gryoscopes
Question: Hi all,
I have a challenge in building my gyroscope. We use a gyroscopic effect (with the client sitting inside), for our client to go though a Personal Development journey. Very effective however I’m trying to build one small enough and aesthetically pleasing to sitting inside a therapist’s office. We have built one that goes outside, the client sits in it and it is built out of 2 inch steel tubing. The material I’m presently using is 1 inch Stainless steel. Has anyone built a light weight example they could give some help with? The system doesn’t need spinning at great speed often the client will only do 2 or 3 revolutions in a 10 minute period, they end up hanging at different angles (they need to be seated for this therapy).
Thanks in anticipation

 Dear John Farrell,

I am sorry I cannot help with your search for a gyro that can be sat in by one of your patients as I am one of the nutters in a shed who are, usually to be found on the propulsion section, searching for mass transfer without opposite reaction. Perhaps this is sufficiently illogical to warrant a “personal development journey”.

However, before ordering a “personal development journey”, I would first like to know that a “personal development journey” will be effective.

I have, over the years, heard of many previously fashionable Psychological “treatments” that have, amongst other things, involved: - wrapping people in cold wet blankets; winding people’s memories back to create (that mystical, unbelievable, silver bullet to the id) an “abreaction”; the fantastical “orgone” box, lamp, blanket, underpants etc.; insulin convulsion therapy that was sometimes effective (but how to explain to the family when “the treatment was effective but the patient died”?) and that sledgehammer to crack a nut (you should excuse the expression), but amazingly successful, electro convulsive therapy, now largely replaced by drugs that can be fine provided the patient doesn’t become deluded that they have become well and stop taking them without anyone noticing until the patient harms themselves and/or someone they believe needs harming.

I really hope that your gyro therapy is actually able to affect a cure for the sick. It’s surely not just another fashionable way for “therapists” to lighten the wallets of the pampered classes is it?

Regards
NM

 Have you fellows considered the lobotomy, instead of gyroscopes, etc. to enhance your mentality/personality? You’ll need a handheld mirror, a drill & bit, a big spoon and steady hands. As soon as you suddenly feel you no longer believe in IP you can stop spooning. You’re healed.
Glenn,
P.S. Don’t forget to plug the hole.

 Hi John. We manufacture a human gyroscope that completely disassembles, so it can fit through a standard door.

You would need a ceiling height of 9 1/2 feet, when assembled.

Please look our WEB site www.gyrogym.com for information, the model number is GyroGym2504.
