Abstract:
1. A method for stabilizing an electronic rack structure, the method comprising: operating an inertial stabilizer system attached to the electronic rack structure by calculating a rotor spin speed in response to receiving a plurality of inputs, determining a required energy level to maintain the rotor spin speed, determining whether a power supply associated with a gyroscope within the inertial stabilizer system is charged, determining whether a failure is occurring in an operation of the gyroscope, and determining whether a rotor is spinning at a calculated rotor spin speed; monitoring the electronic rack structure using a sensor system embodied in the inertial stabilizer system to determine a change in a center of gravity of the electronic rack structure; and changing an orientation of the gyroscope within the inertial stabilizer system to generate a force to oppose the change in the center of gravity.
