ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a device for righting and stabilizing a gyro vertical comprising: a disc arranged on the gyro housing and perpendicular to the gyro spin axis to be driven in the same sense as the gyro rotor, a cavity provided in the disc and a liquid drop movable in the cavity, the cavity being formed such that the liquid drop, with an inclination of the gyro spin axis with respect to the vertical, flows downhill into an edge portion of the cavity remote from the gyro spin axis, in which cavity it is taken along and lifted by the wall of the cavity in an angle range, thereby producing a righting torque.
