Gyroscopic device to generate resisting force for arm exercise for astronauts in space

摘要

The unit is produced in a form to be worn on the wrist of the astronaut. Within the vacuum sealed housing [5] is an electric motor [4]. This drives a pair of gyroscopic force producing discs. This force is sensed by the body as a resisting force when the arm is moved and compensates for the loss of gravitational force in space.
