Claim:
1. A rotational damper for a motor vehicle, comprising: a gyro element, said gyro element comprising a first shaft, supported for rotation relative to a first component and connected with a second component, which performs a relative movement relative to the first component, said first shaft having a first frame, a second shaft rotatably supported in the first frame and arranged orthogonal to the first shaft, said second shaft having a second frame, said second shaft being connected with a first shaft drive, and a third shaft rotatably supported in the second frame and arranged orthogonal to the second shaft, said third shaft being connected with a second shaft drive, wherein a rotation of the second shaft by the first shaft drive causes a change of an angular velocity or a change of a moment of the first shaft; a first sensor for determining a rotation of the first shaft; a control unit operatively connected with the second shaft drive for adjusting an angular velocity and/or a moment of the second shaft; and a second sensor connected with a controller and adapted for determining a change in position of the first component.
