Gyroscopes Humble Beginnings To Hyper Technology.

It was first used in a train project with a single track but the investors didn't show interest in it.

No, aircrafts dont use the gyroscope to balance themselves, the gyroscope is used for the artificial horison which pilots use as a reference to stablise planes in instrument flight conditions

My friend has a gyro from a WW2 torpedo. Amazing piece of tech and lots of torque when spun up on compressed air.

My father helped design and build gyroscopes for the British and American defence services 65 years ago 👏🛩️👍

Modern tanks have gyroscopic stabilizers the M3 Lee, and the M4 Sherman were the first tanks to have a gyroscopic stabilizer which would allow the gun to stay stable while moving and be able to fire while moving

One of the first ships to use an anti-rolling gyro was the Italian passenger liner SS Conte di Savoia, which first sailed in November 1932. It had three flywheels which were 13 feet in diameter and weighed 108 tons each. They worked very well by all accounts, with rolling in heavy seas being dramatically reduced.

Fun fact the iss( international space station) uses gyroscopes to control its altitude and position is really cool and worth the google

The earth even stays solidly in orbit bc of the same principals too

The moment he said self-balancing motorcycles I knew he didn't really know much about what he was talking about, there is no well working self balancing motorcycle. You try to turn too much and it just flips over

For Stormworks users this is basically a tilt sensor

It's amazing how much tech borrows from nature. The simplest design for a gyroscope exists in the human ear in the form of the semi-circular canals. The fluid that flows through them serve the same function as the spinning motion of the gyroscope, and nerves relay the motion of this fluid to the brain enabling it to understand thee body's relative position to the environment, and then make fine adjustments to muscles of the body to correct or maintain posture & motion. Amazing.

GYROSCOPE IS A MAGIC PIECE OF SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING

[luxaly]

also a gyroscope is part of a planes INS(Inertial Navigation System) when u start the plane the gyros spin... u set up the INS with exact coordinates °heading of the gate/pos ur on... from then on the plane knows where it is based of it speed, yaw, pitch, roll, heading... also space crafts work this way :D we only know where they are cause of the gyros

[Viv_the_Human]

Whats cool is adding force to the gyroscope in the opposite direction its turning increases the force of the gyroscope. Such as adding friction, can help make the scope stronger. Pretty cool stuff

[cosmicHalArizona]

I'm not an expert, but I believe it's for navigation, that is bearing (direction) also known as vector.🕳

Fun fact a French dude once made a monorail that could move on normal rails with gyroscopes

[stanleestruve]

That velocity gyroscope relies on electromagnetic dynamo and a computer to work
