The two gyro producet net motion.

Greetings

@Xaustein They don't produce net force but they produce something like net moment - with other words, you can't push yourself from nothing but you can rotate yourself from inside, from internal system changes. And if something from outside make a stand against this rotation, a reaction appears, which can be used (like I use it in this simulation).

hmmm. verry interesting concept. Try to realise it!

[savata71]

@ferenckarvak I didn't try it but it's realy easy to check if this is truth.

This check can be done if you sit in a cradle with two rotating bicycle wheels in your outstretched arms (rotation of the wheels must be like is shown on the video) and when you begin to collect your arms in front of you, the cradle must begin start rotation "forward" (or "backward").

[savata71]

@savata71 The cradle will start rotation "foreward" If rotation of the wheels is like the shown on the video.

the intellectual answer is gyroscope.. the practical answer is bigger tires and more beer..

[ferenckarvak]

@savata71 thanks for answer.

@savata71 So what are the Gyros for? are they for steering or something?

[savata71]

@savata71 (continued 3 - correction of continued 2)

........... – and reaction force R in the other end becomes equal to G+F , where F=ma is inertia force which appears in the center of mass so as to be satisfied the condition (G+F)*L=M , where L is the “arm” of the moment which G causes about rotation axis. M is the summary gyroscopic moment.

[savata71]

@savata71 (continued 2)

And if this summary gyroscopic moment is bigger than the moment which G (weight of the car, the gravity force in the center of mass of the car) can causes about one of the driving wheel axis, a rotation starts about that axis and that’s why one end of the car rises – and reaction force in the other end becomes equal to G.
