  • Patent number: 11754363
    Abstract: The present disclosure incorporates a spinning rotor/mass, a single or multiple gimballed points on one gimballed axis and to the focus the power of precession to “physically” provide resistance against the movements of the device it is attached to. That is why this device is called a Gimballed Precession Stabilization System. A Gimballed Precession Motor(s) of the present disclosure can be placed in a single or in multiple positions on a Firearm to achieve resistance to an angular change. A Gimballed Precession Motor(s) may be used in one or more positions depending on the desired angular constraint. The motor can be self-contained and can be designed to rotate at a high speed and allow the pivoting of the device on its mounting Gimbal Pivot Axis.

  • Patent number: 10203179
    Abstract: A motorized weapon gyroscopic stabilizer which creates a stabilizing effect for single shot, semi-automatic, and fully automatic weapons. The rotating mass that generates the gyroscopic stabilizing effect can be the rotor of the motor. The motor is designed to allow the mass to rotate around the open core of the motorized weapon gyroscopic stabilizer. Because of its open core design the motorized weapon gyroscopic stabilizer allows the fired projectile to pass through it, or be mounted in line with the sighting mechanism allowing the target alignment-line of sight to pass through the motorized weapon gyroscopic stabilizer, or both.
