Question

Asked by: Simon Bennett
Subject: Powered Gyros.
Question: Hi I'm Simon and am new to the world of gyros.

I've searched tinternet for a battery powered scope similar to the ones found at:- http://plus.maths.org/issue7/features/gyroscopes/

They look pretty cool.

If any one can build one, knows of a mechanical engineer that can build one, has plans for one etc.... then please reply to this posting or use email at ground zero.

My initial thoughts are that I would like someone to bastardize a DeWalt 18V Cordless cut off tool,
the DC410KA (Angle Grinder). Gear it up and fit a variable speed trigger. Slap in a 150mm solid brass rotor. Precision bearings and quality shaft. Oh and I would like 2.

To buy two cordless grinders with 1 battery pack and two batteries is about £ 350.00.

Can the finished product be made for less than £600.00 per unit ?????

If there are any takers out there who can bring this on and don't want to give details out in a forum, I've set up an email address:- myspam@postgirl.co.uk

A toast to inventors, engineers, the Queen, Country and things that spin.
