 Francis,

Good for you! None of us may do drawings etc. here. I wouldn’t know how to send mine if a means were provided. That’s why there is a ton of talked to death bull- (rimes with sheet) here. Yours is the only way, think, build and test. Try YouTube. ‘Luck to you.

Glenn,

 I’m wrong in the sequence I mention above, which was think, build and test. Recently I was made aware that the idea of mire thinking is not explanatory enough. Hit and miss thinking will never work. To have any chance the inventor must understand theory forward and backward. He must rely on much past observation and trials he could do and a great deal of good reasoning. He cannot merely think up an idea to try this and that. This is too complicated and requires exactitude. He must be sound in his understanding of how a number of individual gyroscopic events work together in D3 responses relating precisely to a number of other gyroscopes during their indicial and un-indicial responses. Confusing? Well, mire thinking is not enough. One must first know something. He must know quite a lot.

I am happy to admit fault and correct myself. Let us all stay that way you wonderful people. Stay humble. Smile. I’m watching you. You didn’t knowI could see your smilling face in my monitor? You see, you didn’t know everything either.

Glenn,
