I have been struggling to visualize how three rotating reaction wheels on bearings and affixed to each other at 90 degree angles, one at each axis (picture the kind of 3-axis reaction devices used in satalites), would behave when torque is applied to the whole assembly. If all three reaction wheels where spinning clockwise (viewed from the outside of each wheel), how would the device precess? Would it precess at all, or would it resist torque from all directions?
Please tell me your thoughts.
