    Awesome if rocking bothers you. I like a little rocking to sleep better because my bones ache (sleeping beam to beam when rocking hard vs bow to stern when rocking gently :-) This is great for any powerboat as they seem to rock very hard, pounding a lot. The large keel on a sailboat softens the rock a lot.

    Can you brilliant fellows create one for off road trophy trucks? I have this feeling that video game like air control would be achievable with a seakeeper gyroscope mounted in the center of the truck. Man that would be a dream to see level and controlled car air/ hang time.

    • @joeKisonue
      @joeKisonue Před 2 lety +1

      I would say just install one of these as is. Trophy trucks already handle the best there is for handling uneven terrain. I thought of this idea a few years back for use in a car. It would massively improve a Mustang in burnouts. A gyro would in no way increase air time other than the extra 370lb inertial influence at apogee.

    • @joeKisonue
      @joeKisonue Před 2 lety

      If you installed one sideways you could definitely actively control pitch (nose up/down) expertly. I think it would have a very odd effect in the launch unless it didn't contribute until departure from ramp.

    • @cats400
      @cats400 Před 3 lety

      No. Modern cruise ships use stabilizing fins on the side of the hull to decrease wave action. The biggest model SeaKeeper makes is meant for around a 75 foot yacht and costs over $200,000.

    • @joeKisonue
      @joeKisonue Před 2 lety

      I think the options currently in use are probably the best. Really better for the low end of the mass scale because motions are greater in comparison to the size of the vessel. Think 4 foot swells on a 30ft boat and it's only 4 feet from rail to boot stipe. That's like 200 foot seas for a cruise vessel. The fins do the trip on monsters.

  • @johnb9825

    Why would you want to make it lighter? It's the mass that makes it work.

      Only the spinning mass provides reactionary force, the case is just dead weight.

      Um grease moving parts, rinse clean before storing, and it will last longer than not. So the warranty is 2 years or 2000 hours. Let's say you run a seasonal charter off cape cod. Your gas costs alone could buy a few of these per year. I think it will be fine.
