ABSTRACT:
An automatic balancing concept including two annular containers used to dmically balance a rocket during flight. The containers are partially filled with a high density fluid and are installed forward and aft of the longitudinal CG of the rocket. When spin is induced in the rocket the radial CG will shift to the spin axis and the fluid will couple itself to the outside diameter of the ring.
