My mechanics lessons have been more than a decade ago so my guesswork and reality might be two worlds but I'd guess that the rotationg foil platter is basically a spring the faster the platter rotates a) the "stiffer" it gets since the centripetal force gets bigger relatively to a force orthogonal to the surface (eg gravity). So the "Platters" which might otherwise "hang down" if not rotationg are now flat.
b) but the faster the "platter" rotates the bigger the gyroscopic intertia will be and the bigger the force has to be that changes the platterns orientation.
My guess is that a) does not grow significantly faster than b) and that the only way to make a Foil-Disk in a movable case crash-save is to have a very small disk diameter and a small mass by this.
But somebody still in school might be able to provide a rough calculation...
(Please forgive if I do not sound very clear in English.)
I do not believe in miracles. I have seen too many.
My bet is that the system of multiple foil platterns rotating in air with a comb of heads in between them is too complex in it's non-concentrical movements to be on the market for the end-user within this decade. I won't buy your shares.
However, I'd love to be proven wrong in this point:-)
Now imagine what happens if you tilt the drive. The hub now has to transfer a force rectangular to the foil-plattern's surface - fast - to tilt the rotating plattern inside the drive. But the foil-plattern want to stay where they are (think bicycle wheel)
A foil doesn't provide much resistance rectangular to it's surface. The process is called "folding" if done exactly or "crumpling and head crashing" if done in a foil-platter-drive. Maybe it would even be called "cringling" then?
Do I make any sense to you?

They still don't get it.. It doesn't matter which sports team's t-shirts you own, or where you placed your bets because this is not sports.
Your country has now warrantless surveillance, secret lists for all those people who pose a risk to security, secret trials, secret prisons, revocation of citizenship, torture, you're fucked.
But you can still feel safe since you don't have gay marriage. Now THAT would be really bad, wouldn't it?
Since "insect overlords" is gender-neutral but "Insekten-ober-herrscher" is male and considering the fact that in many insect species the female is larger than the male I vote for the female form: "Insekten-ober-herrscherinnen":-)

Yes, the guys who didn't have passports and tickets yet and who haven't been charged with anything yet. Well, they planned to use some strange "liquid explosives", I personally have at least some knowlegde in chemistry and don't believe this. But let's hear what others say (taken from http://www.rawstory.com/news/2006/Sources_August_T error_Plot_Fiction_Underscoring_0918.html ) : --- "The idea that these people could sit in the plane toilet and simply mix together these normal household fluids to create a high explosive capable of blowing up the entire aircraft is untenable," said Lt. Col. Wylde, who was trained as an ammunition technical officer responsible for terrorist bomb disposal at the Royal Army Ordnance Corps in Sandhurst. ---
However, science doesn't matter anymore and this story sounds very made up by Bliar's and Bush's regimes.
And I might add - most of the TV-Specials on German TV were even less accurate on the chemistry of explosives as they usually are on IT related stuff.

Still the distance a foil will be bent by a force compared to a "massive" platter will be much bigger.
Without additional magic pixie dust of course. Let's see...
Now that you know that you are wrong, will you apologize?
