<p>A gyroscopic thrust apparatus which releases rotational energy of gyroscopic mass along the axis of precession via a gyroscopic couple, to generate thrust. In particular, the gyroscopic thrust apparatus has two gyroscopic diametrically opposed discs (42, 54) adapted to be rotated in a vertical plane about common horizontal axis, but rotated in different directions. The discs are pivotably mounted on shafts (38, 48) and supported on a frame (60, 62) which is coupled to drive means (24) for driving the gyroscope about a spin or precession shaft axis (12). As the gyroscope rotates the disc (42, 54) also rotate and, as speed of rotation increases, the gyroscopic movements overcome the centripedal force and the discs (42, 54) lift to transmit an upward force along the spin shaft (79).</p> |
