Steadying Steamships via a Floating Fly Wheel System
German naval architect Herr Herretto Schhlick proposes a vertical axis fly wheel mounted low in a vessel to counteract roll. The device uses gimbals, brakes, and high speed rotation driven by motors or turbines to create opposing forces that reduce rolling by altering the ship's motion. For a 6004 metric ton steamer a 4 metre diameter wheel weighing 10 tonnes at 200 m/s would have a pronounced stabilizing effect according to calculations reported by Harper's Weekly.
