On this page they have an electrically powered gyro rotating 180 degrees by precession. If the rotation could drive the gyro......?
Also on this page is a link to a patent for a device which uses precession to power a generator(OU).

: My initial experiments with gyros seems to suggest that they need to precess in order to maintain their position, which, in itself is a very interesting phenomenon.
: Unfortunately, it means simply trying to hold them horizontal (as in my posted drawing) will not work. Back to the drawing board!!!!!!
: Keep up the good work. We'll get there yet!
