<p>A gyroscopic stabiliser (10) for a marine vessel (12) comprises a flywheel (14) arranged to spin about a spin axis (16). The spin axis (16) lies in a plane containing a longitudinal axis (18) and a transverse axis (19) of the vessel (12). The flywheel (14) is attached via an axle (28) and bearings (30) and (32) to an annular support (34) mounted to the vessel (12) and lying parallel to the plane containing the longitudinal and transverse axis (18, 19). The flywheel (14) can precess about a precession axis (22) that extends perpendicular to the plane by arranging the support (34) to also rotate about the precession axis (22).</p> |
