Claim 0:
1. A centrifugal gyroscopic device, comprising:
a shaft rotatable about a first axis;
an arm coupled to the shaft and configured to rotate with the shaft, wherein the arm is pivotable about a second axis different from the first axis;
at least one rotor coupled to the arm and configured to pivot with the arm about the second axis, wherein the at least one rotor is further pivotable about a third axis different from the first axis and different from the second axis; and
a control system operably coupled to at least one of the shaft, the arm, and the at least one rotor, wherein the control system is configured to bring the shaft, the arm, and the at least one rotor into at least approximately a resonant mode of operation in which (a) the shaft rotates about the first axis 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.
