Abstract: Gyrostabilizer methods and apparatus having simultaneously counter-revolving masses that do not require physical shafts or axles. The stabilizer can have dual counter-revolving concentric rings, or tracks filled with weights such as spherical balls, that are propelled in orbital fashion by fluid pressure or electromagnet propulsion. The rings can include rigid contiguous rings, such as metal, plastic, composites, and the like. Additionally, the rings can include liquids and/or gasses. Still furthermore, the rings can include flexible, bendable contiguous materials, such as chains and ropes. The concentric ring diameters can be a few inches to more than ten (10) feet. Without an axle or shaft the weight of the gyrostabilizer is shifted to the perimeter where most of the momentum is generated at a fraction of the weight of gyrostabilizers that spin on an axle. The gyrostabilizer can dampen unsteadiness such as tremors, vibrations, sway, pitch, roll, and yaw.

Abstract: A housed gyro-sensor 31 is housed in a rotation plate 33. The gyro-sensor 31 is mounted so that a rotation operation is enabled in a pitch axis direction about an axis in a mounting hole 24 formed on a housing of an inner face of the car navigation system 21. In this way, as shown in FIG. 8, even when the main body of the car navigation system 21 is not housed horizontally with respect to the vehicle, it is possible to regulate the mounting angle of the housed gyro sensor 31 in a horizontal direction by rotating the rotation plate 33. In order to realize how many times the rotation plate 33 needs to be rotated, standards for angle settings may be provided by directly printing the name of the vehicle type on an outer face of the rotation plate 33 or by printing the major angles.
