Eric Laithwaite's reality defying 1974 lecture on Gyroscopes #AntiGravity #HiddenScience
Never heard of this guy until today, I'm not surprised why after seeing this lecture at the royal institute. I wish he'd of been my science teacher at school.

One could measure the curvature of the Earth by driving cross-country with a gyroscope.

It's always intrigued me, how spin seems to defy gravity, and takes on properties of it's own.

Thanks OP, I hadn't heard of him either. Watched the first 10mins and am enthralled and bookmarked to watch later. In the video he mentions his 'favourite author' Martin Gardner....I've never heard of him either. Just looked him up and he is a 'recreational mathematician' and has written many books on math, philosophy and other interesting topics. I've just bought one of his books on Kindle to give him a try.

A perfect gyro in space can maintain x,y,z coords no problem, but with gravity to contend with, one has to think that perhaps an eccentric ring that maintains the axis oppositional to a directional force could be used to counteract said force.

Think about a cam.

I suppose the cam would be acting both upon the positive and negative along that axis, but maybe if you could slow the swing on the up or down, you could convert it into directional energy.

Gravity does not exist in the conventional sense 'science' has proffered, not one of them can even tell you what it is only describe it. Without comprehension of fields both dielectric and magnetic it can't be understood.

Re: Eric Laithwaite's reality defying 1974 lecture on Gyroscopes #AntiGravity #HiddenScience
Laithwaite got in to hot water with the scientific establishment for this particular lecture:

[link to en.wikipedia.org (secure)]

In his 1974 lectures, Laithwaite suggested that Newton's laws of motion could not account for the behaviour of gyroscopes and that they could be used as a means of reactionless propulsion. The members of the Royal Institution rejected his ideas and his lectures were not published at the time, a first for the Royal Institution. His lectures were subsequently published independently as Engineer Through The Looking-Glass and also on the Royal Institution website.

Despite this rejection and the fact that Laithwaite later acknowledged that gyroscopes behave fully in accord with Newtonian mechanics, he continued to explore gyroscopic behaviour, maintaining the belief that some form of reactionless propulsion could be derived from them. Laithwaite set up Gyron Ltd with William Dawson and, in 1993, applied for a patent entitled "Propulsion System". A United States Patent, Number 5860317, was granted in 1999. To this very day, research is conducted to account for the physics behind gyroscopic effects, directly pointing to Laithwaite's work as motivation.
