Claim 13:
14. A method of operating a centrifugal gyroscopic device, the method comprising:
rotating a shaft of the centrifugal gyroscopic device about a first axis;
pivoting an arm of the centrifugal gyroscopic device about a second axis different from the first axis, wherein the arm is pivotably coupled to the shaft and configured to rotate with the shaft;
pivoting at least one rotor of the centrifugal gyroscopic device about a third axis different from the first axis and different from the second axis, wherein the at least one rotor is pivotably coupled to the arm and configured to pivot with the arm about the second axis; and
controlling the rotation of the shaft, the pivoting of the arm, and/or the pivoting of the at least one rotor to bring the shaft, the arm, and the at least one rotor into a resonant mode of operation in which (a) the shaft rotates at a rotational rate, (b) the arm oscillates about the second axis at a first frequency, and (c) the at least one rotor oscillates about the third axis at a second frequency at least approximately equal to the first frequency.
