  • Torque induced propulsion system
    Patent number: 6860166
    Abstract: A gyroscopic device includes a drive gimbal drive ring spinning about a drive gimbal axis, a precession gimbal spinning about a precession gimbal axis substantially perpendicular to the drive gimbal drive ring, and a gyro coupled to the drive gimbal drive ring rotating about the precession gimbal axis and spinning about a moving gyro spin axis substantially parallel to the drive gimbal ring. The gyro rotation and spin generates a precession force about the drive gimbal axis that is either opposite or coincident the direction of the drive gimbal spin when the depending upon the direction of the gyro. The precession force can be used to propel an object.
