GyroTorque Operating Principle. Gyroscopic reaction torque is generated when precessing a spinning rotor. A very common form of gyroscopic reaction is experienced when riding a bicycle, where the front wheel exhibits the properties of a gyroscopic rotor. If, as is too often the case, an off-balance torque is created by gravitational force, the rider intuitively counters the gravitational torque by turning the handle bar, which, in effect, amounts to precessing the rotor-like front wheel. The faster the bicycle is travelling, the greater is the spin of the front wheel and, hence, the smaller is the precession required to counter the off-balance torque. The operational advantages of GyroTorque result from a novel technique of generation and rectification of gyroscopic reaction torque from a rotor as it is applied to an input-independent output shaft.  1, fiche 1, Anglais, - gyroscopic%20reaction%20torque

Due to its gyroscopic action, the spin axis of the rotor(gyroscope) tends to remain nonrotating with respect to inertial space. From the previous consideration, it can be stated that the gyroscopic output torque is the reaction torque, which is developed by the angular velocity of precession of the angular momentum vector H, and opposes the applied torque.  1, fiche 2, Anglais, - gyroscopic%20output%20torque

Couple gyroscopique. C'est [...] une conséquence de l'inertie du gyroscope : un gyroscope réagit par un couple chaque fois que l'on veut lui imposer une rotation suivant un axe différent de son axe de rotation propre. Ce couple s'appelle couple gyroscopique et tend en général à faire basculer l'axe du rotor.  2, fiche 2, Français, - couple%20de%20sortie%20du%20gyroscope
