What if magnetic gimbals were used so that whenever they aligned in a parallel configuration they were physically close enough to repel one another and correct the problem?
Any of you guys thought up other solutions to the ancient problem of gimbal lock? It continues to bewilder engineers even in the 20th century:

Add more gimbals?
Don't let their axes line up to take away a degree of freedom.

Use a bubble in a bubble.
You could have the interior bubble/sphere, which contains the gyro, floating inside another slightly bigger sphere that has a fluid.
