Abstract

A method for controlling a rotation damper operating according to the gyroscopic principle for a motor vehicle, wherein the rotation damper includes a flywheel, which is driven by a drive and rotating about a rotation axis with an angular velocity ωφ, which is cardanically mounted via a first bearing element and via a second bearing element, wherein the flywheel is rotatably mounted on a first bearing element and at a rotation angle φ, and the first bearing element is rotatably mounted on a second bearing means about a first axis that is oriented orthogonally to the rotation axis of the flywheel, and the second bearing element is rotatably mounted at a second rotational angle (ψ).
