Dual-purpose control moment gyroscope for vehicle control

A vehicle, comprising:

• a vehicle body;
• a vehicle power source including a housing and a power generator, the housing including an inlet and an outlet, the housing rotationally mounted on the vehicle body and configured to rotate, relative to the vehicle body, about a first rotational axis, the power generator rotationally mounted within the housing and configured to rotate about a second rotational axis and generate power, wherein the first rotational axis and the second rotational axis are orthogonally disposed;
• a first flexible duct coupled to the inlet;
• a second flexible duct coupled to the outlet;
• a controller configured to receive data, generate actuator commands to control a gyroscopic torque supplied to the vehicle body based on the data, and supply the actuator commands;
• and
• an actuator coupled to the housing and further coupled to receive the actuator commands from the controller, wherein the actuator is configured, in response to the actuator commands, to rotate the housing about the first rotational axis and over an entire angular range of motion from +175 degrees to −175 degrees.
