GYRO-DEVICE Russian patent published in 2008 - IPC G01C19/00 

FIELD: transport.

SUBSTANCE: rotors 1 are fitted on the ends of shaft 2 to run free thereon. Recess 9 on the side surface of every rotor accommodates gear wheel 6 and support wheel 7 coaxially arranged with the said rotor and linked to it, the support wheel rim representing a truncated taper surface. The rotor gear wheels are in mesh with support gear wheel 5 fitted on base 3 on its diametrically opposite sides and on the like sides with the gear wheel of drive 11 interacting with the shaft of drive 4. Central support wheel 8 is coupled coaxial by with the support gear wheel and the base, its rim representing a truncated taper surface in contact, on its diametrically opposite sides, with the rotor support wheel rims. The centre of the rotor axes at the intersection with the line of the drive shaft axis O¹-O¹ makes a central point O₁ of the device. The centre of gravity of every rotor, its bearing 10 and the contact point of the rotor and central support wheel rims are located on one straight line A-A parallel the drive shaft axis line O¹-O¹.

EFFECT: simpler design and higher reliability.
