What is the use of storage battery in Gyro Motor 418?

The storage battery serves as the power supply for the gyro motor 418 in this design. FIG. 11B shows another implementation where a crank arm angle sensor is used to measure the angle of the crank arm and feeds the angle measurement to the system controller 1130.

How much power can a gyro generate?

A gyro at a wave frequency of 1.25 Hz and a gyro rate of 90 r.p.s. generated a maximum of 3.0 watts into a 6.3-ohm load. Efficiency calculations emphasize the importance of keeping electrical and frictional losses as low as possible. Sea tests of the prototype Gyro-Gen demonstrated that a rotating gyro significantly increased the power output.

How does the Gyro-Gen generate electricity?

The Gyro-Gen successfully generated sufficient power to run both the gyroscope and an auxiliary load, demonstrating that the gyroscope can be used to efficiently transfer power from periodic angular motion into electricity. The test results further show that the crank arm could generate little power without the gyro's precessional torque.

What is a gyrobus bus?

A gyrobus is an electric bus that uses flywheel energy storage, not overhead wires like a trolleybus. The name comes from the Greek language term for flywheel, gyros. There are no gyrobuses currently in use commercially.

What is the gyro rate of a generator?

The generator synchronizes and outputs power at various gyro rates, as indicated by the data. At 65 r.p.s. and 90 r.p.s., the generator is able to synchronize and output power at all frequencies except 0.25 Hz. There is a direct relationship between the gyro rate and the generator's ability to output power.

How does a gyro work in patent?

In the context of the given patent, the gyro is initially spun by the bench power supply at 80 r.p.s. Once the gyro motor is switched to the electric generator, it is driven by the test frame at 1.5 Hz wave frequencies until the gyro rate is stabilized.
