An actuator (100) for coupling to a rotatable object (10), the actuator (100) being configured to be primarily activated by Euler forces arising from rotational acceleration of the rotatable object (10) about an object pivot point (12) of the rotatable object (10), the actuator (100) comprising a first coupling arrangement (130) and second coupling arrangement (140), each coupling arrangement (130, 140) being configured to be pivotally coupled to the rotatable object (10) by a respective coupling arrangement pivot point (135, 145), wherein each coupling arrangement (130, 140) comprises a first outer pivot point (135a, 145a) and a second outer pivot point (145a, 145b) radially offset from the coupling arrangement pivot point (135, 145), wherein the respective first outer pivot points (135a, 145a) are operatively coupled by a first body (110a), and the respective second outer pivot points (135b, 145b) are operatively coupled by a second body (1 10b), such that a center of mass of each body (1 10a, 1 10b) is radially offset from the object pivot point (12) when the actuator (100) is coupled to the rotatable object (10).
