ABSTRACT:
A fluid actuated gyroscope having a hollow rotor provided with apertures defining nozzles through which compressed fluid within the housing flows to the interior of the rotor before being discharged. This flow causes the rotor to spin up to speed rapidly. Also described is a caging piston which, with its associated apparatus, performs the dual function of providing a passageway for venting the interior of the rotor during spin up and for caging and uncaging the gimbals.
