A prototype that can keep balance without using gyroscope nor engines.
Although its actual mechanism is slightly different from a momentum wheel in real world, it still shares the same basic idea.
AG8 to switch balancing on and off.

Hi there are you still around
@JoshuaW
yes, with the difference that you have a much bigger concern, the damn electricity
@DragoransEscarti Yes I know that, momentum wheel in KSP is just like the gyrocope in SP, magically producing torque from nowhere, no need to care how, but this is something that actually using the game physics to achieve.
I'ts very interesting!
But not for me, as I play KSP and momentum wheels are much more used than RCS
(RCS is basically the Reaction control nozzle, but it works in space)
