Hi

For that kind of power, I'd dig out an audio transformer and drive it with something like an LM-380.

Frequency stability (at least, in a real application) is more important, since the gyro response depends upon the rotational speed of the wheel. Not that I'm going to actually use it for anything other than just getting it working. :)
