Hmm. Gyroscopic stabilization of laundry?

We have a washer-drier unit with the dryer right above the washer.  I had the worst time today balancing the washing, until I turned on the dryer, when the shimmying stopped.  I'm seriously wondering if the dryer is acting as a gyroscope for the washing machine.

The thing to do to test this hypothesis is to replace the dryer with a large gyroscope.  Does anyone know where I can get a 2-foot wide set of high-speed gyros?
