A vehicle includes a vehicle body, a vehicle power source, and an actuator. The vehicle power source includes a housing and a power generator. The housing is rotationally mounted on the vehicle body and is configured to rotate, relative to the vehicle body, about a first rotational axis. The power generator is rotationally mounted within the housing and is configured to rotate about a second rotational axis and generate power. The first rotational axis and the second rotational axis are orthogonally disposed. The actuator is coupled to the housing and is operable to selectively rotate the housing about the first rotational axis. By gimballing the rotating mass of the power source a gyroscopic torque can be applied to the vehicle improving its maneuverability.
