Suggestions

This article has obvious interest but is currently rather difficult, technical in its use of language, and general (without specific examples), and theoretical (without explanation of how the rotations are actually accomplished - it seems there must be a motor and a momentum wheel, or several of each at right angles to each other, but the article doesn't say so). It would be far more approachable with a diagram or two, a photograph of the machinery involved, and a simple worked example. I'm thinking along the lines of a Scientific American style treatment.

Might want to start with a definition for "eigenaxis". Kortoso (talk) 21:21, 4 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
