ABSTRACT:
A stored energy gyroscope includes a power spring contained within the gyroscope rotor. A latching arm is positioned to hold the rotor in place with the spring fully wound, and when the latching arm is released from the hold position the power spring unwinds to drive the rotor up to speed. A sustaining motor contained within the rotor extends the useful life of the gyroscope by maintaining angular momentum of the rotor and eliminating deceleration torques upon dissipation of the spring power.
