This paper investigates the design of a three-degree-of-freedom rotational inertia generator using the gyroscopic effect to provide ungrounded torque feedback. It uses a rotating mass in order to influence the torques needed to move the device, creating a perceived inertia. The dynamic model and the control law of the device are derived, along with those of a comparable concept using three flywhee...
