Abstract
A rotor for a gyroscopic device is constructed by fabricating a unitary assembly comprising a rim, a hollow shaft, a hub at each end of the shaft, a web that extends radially inward from the rim to one of the hubs at angle to rotor spin axis and machining the assembly. A second web may be welded between the rim and the second hub.
Claims6
A method of constructing a rotor for a gyroscopic device comprising:
- fabricating a unitary assembly comprising a rim, a shaft and two hubs on opposite ends of the shaft with a web that extends radially inward from the rim to one hub at angle to rotor spin axis;
