ABSTRACT:
A controllable gyroscopic propulsion apparatus comprising a base, a shaft rotatably mounted on the base, a cylindrical frame attached to the shaft and rotating therewith, a plurality of rods slidably and horizontally carried by the frame, weights attached by a pulley and cable system to the rods so that sliding the rods horizontally causes the weights to move radially, and a rotatable, tiltable plate for changing on command the horizontal positions of the rods so that the apparatus develops propulsion in the desired direction. The ends of the rods bear against the plate that can be rotated and tilted using a paid of cylinders. A motor may be attached to the base of the apparatus.
