Gyroscope for SUV roll protection

AI Thread Summary
A gyroscope mounted midship on a 2100 lb SUV could potentially help prevent rollover during sharp turns by providing stabilization. The discussion centers on the necessary rotation speed of the gyroscope to maintain control when the SUV makes a 90-degree turn at 65 miles per hour. Key considerations include the mass of the gyroscope and how its mass is distributed, which are critical for effective stabilization. While the concept of gyroscopic stabilization is theoretically sound, practical implementation raises concerns about feasibility. Overall, while gyroscopic systems could enhance SUV stability, practical challenges may limit their effectiveness.

A gyroscope of a certain size is mounted midship of an SUV of about 2100 lbs, and the gyroscope was setup to accelerate if this SUV accelerated. Now normally if a SUV makes a 90 degree turn past 35 miles per hour the driver looses control and or the vehicle rolls over.

How fast would this gyroscope have to rotate to keep a SUV from rolling over if it takes a 90 degree turn at 65 miles per hour ? Also is it possible for a gyroscope spinning at a great speed be able to keep this 2100 lb SUV from loosing control or rolling ? Dymium,

You need to say how massive the gyroscope is, and how its mass is distributed.

In principle such gyro stabilisation could work, but I doubt it would be practical.
 
I think it's easist first to watch a short vidio clip I find these videos very relaxing to watch .. I got to thinking is this being done in the most efficient way? The sand has to be suspended in the water to move it to the outlet ... The faster the water , the more turbulance and the sand stays suspended, so it seems to me the rule of thumb is the hose be aimed towards the outlet at all times .. Many times the workers hit the sand directly which will greatly reduce the water...
