I am not an historian, but here are a few of my remembrances of my 78 years. Precession theory and application had its formal beginning by Euler in 1758 to define rotation of rigid objects. A short burst of interest, theory, and application for precession and planetary motion and gyroscopes started around the1800s. Precession theory blossomed in the 1960s by the Soviet-American contest for space exploration and the contest for a geodynamo model. Precession interest then followed separate paths. Aerospace research introduced precession dissipation energy by America's 1958 satellite (Explorer I) where an instability was seen. Its antennae dissipated energy by material hysteresis. Liquid dissipation in precessing satellites became a major difficulty for designers, and physical experiments became the prime solution. Precession dissipation energy rates are difficult and expensive to measure, see Vanyo, "Rotating Fluids", 1993 Butterworth-Heinemann (2001 Dover), p.318. Geophysical research introduced nutation and precession by luni-solar forces. Luni-solar precession dissipation energy had become the criteria for adequacy for a geodynamo. Roberts and Busse both examined viscous models, but an attempt by Malkus (1968) for a viscous and magnetic model did not success. A precession model by Vanyo-Likins (1972) derived an aerospace application for dissipation energy. Rochester et al (1975) and Loper (1975) claimed that precession energy was inadequate for a geodynamo, but formal criteria were never published. The 1975 papers by Rochester et al and Loper were in error. Their estimate for precession energy rate is off by 4 magnitudes. New research now supports energetic precession geodynamo models, e.g., articles for precession experiments that have adequate geodynamo energy rates, articles for core-mantle motions that show geomagnetic CMB patterns, articles for viscous-electromagnetic analyses that show precession core-mantle coupling, and articles for computer simulations that have achieved laminar and turbulent precession geodynamo models. Please, by e-mail, ask for a survey of solutions and problems.
