#SmartGyro stabilization technology | Smartgyro stabilizers effectively reduce boat roll through force created by spinning of flywheel inside vacuum-enclosed sphere, which is then transferred into hull structure to counteract wave motion | Gyroscope is spinning wheel (flywheel) or disk that maintains its orientation and resists changes in its axis of rotation | Gyroscopic effect | The law of conservation of angular momentum | Precession motion | Moment of inertia | Gyro stabilizers are mounted in such a way that force that disturbs axis of orientation of flywheel is (mainly) force caused by rolling | When vessel rolls due to wave motion, on-board gyroscope responds by generating forces that oppose these movements | Antiroll effect can be increased by installing more gyros | Precession motion must always be carefully controlled, continuously adjusting and synchronizing its amplitude and its time correlation with incoming sea waves | Motion control system takes care of this important task by means of hardware computing platform, and series of sensors distributed on different parts of machine | Based on data acquired by sensors, (including boat state - roll, pitch and precession rotation angle), algorithms precisely regulate braking effect of hydraulic pistons mounted on side of sphere containing flywheel, and ultimately, synchronize precession motion with rolling wave | Control system is capable of responding to different, ever changing sea conditions rapidly, and maximum antiroll torque is always generated, whatever sea state | Smartgyro modular approach splits stabilizer into smaller, easy-to-handle components | Modular design allows for opening of sphere containing flywheel, to inspect, extract or replace internal components
