Re: Gyro Effect!

three flywheels, mounted on the three XYZ axis, spinning so that motion in one axis will cause a flywheel to twist into another axis, which will make the second flywheel twist into the 3rd axis?

sounds like perpetual motion ?! I wonder what that would do? It seems like it would be a very ustable system, and as soon as you disturbed it the slightest bit, it would spin faster and faster on all three axis?

is that possible?

I think you just blew my mind!
