Here's a basic gyro stabilizer that can be used on boats to arrest over 90% of the side to side rolling motion.
The unit has a motor driven flywheel in a vacuum.
The arrows indicate the rolling action of the waves.
The way the flywheel is constrained allows the angular momentum to combine
with the flywheels precession oscillation to generate a large amount of torque
over time to directly oppose the dynamic rolling action of the waves.
