gyroscopic space-drive

KonradKorzenowski

How would a gyroscopic space-drive function/do?

Antiphon

As far as we know, it wouldn't work.

Crosson

A gyroscope can't be used as a drive for a spaceship, they produce no propulsion. (GyroDrive sounds cool, but it's nonsense.)

That said, gyroscopes can be used to stabilize space ships (to eliminate unwanted spin) and are currently used in airplanes and missiles for that purpose.

Okay let's say the laws of physics allowed a space-drive to function.Then how would it work?

hehe....lets say the laws of physics aren't true. how would the laws of physics say it works...nice...

If we don't have to obey reality, it would, of course, work however you want it to work.

KonradKorzenowski

Quite avoiding the question.

If pigs could fly, how would they?

KonradKorzenowski

Ha ha ha very funny

Bloody hell, aviator! Can't you take a hint?

You beat me to it, my transatlantic symbyote!

KonradKorzenowski

Oh forget it.

If I could flap my arms and fly, how fast would I go? [insert terminal velocity joke here]

no, it wasn't
