I was there also, in the gimballed mechanical gyro lab. We used an 8X300 microcontroller to PWM the motors that kept the gyro platform orientation constant. Report comment. Reply.

Entomologists and mechanical engineers ordinarily have little to do with one another. The first study bugs; the second design machinery. But last week the Sperry Gyroscope Co., designers of ...

The first gyroscope was invented in 1852 by Leon Foucault (a traditional mechanical gyroscope of this general type is shown in Fig 1).Foucault thought that he could measure the rotation of the earth ...

The iPhone 4 uses a MEMs (micro-electro-mechanical-systems) gyroscope but a newly developed optical gyroscope, small enough to fit on the head of a pin, ...

Gyroscopes, Pulsars and the ... “If more attention were paid to the intelligent examination of tops, there would be greater advances in mechanical engineering and a great many industries ...

[Jim] loves gyros – not those newfangled MEMS devices, but old-fashioned mechanical gyroscopes. His obsession has pushed him to build this gyro stabilized two wheeler. We love watching hacks … ...

Ideally a gyroscope would be sensitive only to rotation rate, and nothing else. In practice, all gyroscopes have some sensitivity to acceleration due to asymmetry of their mechanical designs and/or ...
