When a single-engined aeroplane turns to the left, the nose tends to dip; when the turn is to the right, the gyroscopic effect tends to raise the nose. When a twin-engined plane, with propellers ...

The gyroscopic motion of the earth (26,000 years) will be reduced to four minutes. The earth’s swing around the sun (one year) will be crowded into 7.3 seconds or slowed down to seven minutes to ...

For the particular application of CVG's in cell phones, the oscillating mass is actually the vibrations of MEMS-sized beams along a radial line of the rotating phone. The vibrational motion transverse ...

The gyroscopic system for gyro monorail trains that Brennan developed. (Credit: Primal Space) Everyone who has ever handled a spinning gyroscope found themselves likely mesmerized by the way it ...

The reason is that the spinning mass (of the gyroscope and the top) resists a change in motion. (If you don't have firsthand experience with a gyroscope, try this: Hold the ends of a bicycle wheel ...
