A gyroscope (from Ancient Greek γῦρος gŷros, "round" and σκοπέω skopéō, "to look") is a device used for measuring or maintaining orientation and angular velocity. [1] [2] It is a spinning wheel or disc in which the axis of rotation (spin axis) is free to assume any orientation by itself.

2025年1月8日 · Gyroscope, device containing a rapidly spinning wheel or circulating beam of light used to detect an object’s deviation from its desired position.

A gyroscope is a device used to measure or maintain an angular position. It works using the principles of angular momentum . The gyroscope is made up of a spinning wheel or disc , as well as (in some cases) many other moving parts.

A ring laser gyroscope (RLG) consists of a ring laser having two independent counter-propagating resonant modes over the same path; the difference in phase is used to detect rotation. It operates on the principle of the Sagnac effect which shifts the nulls of the internal standing wave pattern in response to angular rotation.

A vibrating structure gyroscope (VSG), defined by the IEEE as a Coriolis vibratory gyroscope (CVG), [1] is a gyroscope that uses a vibrating (as opposed to rotating) structure as its orientation reference.

The Foucault gyroscope was a gyroscope created by French physicist Léon Foucault in 1852, conceived as a follow-up experiment to his pendulum in order to further demonstrate the Earth's rotation. [1] [2] [3] [4] Foucault felt that the results of his …

A gyroscope is a device for measuring or maintaining orientation, based on the principle of conservation of angular momentum. The key component, a relatively heavy spinning rotor, is mounted with nearly frictionless bearings inside two concentric lightweight rings (gimbals) each of which is also mounted with similar bearings inside the next ...

A control moment gyroscope (CMG) is an attitude control device generally used in spacecraft attitude control systems. A CMG consists of a spinning rotor and one or more motorized gimbals that tilt the rotor’s angular momentum.

A gyroscope is a device for measuring or maintaining orientation, based on the principle of conservation of angular momentum. Gyroscope may also refer to: Ring laser gyroscope, uses ring lasers; Fibre optic gyroscope, uses fibre optics and light interference; Rate integrating gyroscope, a type of rate gyro

2025年1月2日 · gyroscope (plural gyroscopes) An apparatus composed of a wheel which spins inside of a frame and causes the balancing of the frame in any direction or position. In the form of a gyroscopic stabilizer, used to help keep aircraft and ships steady.
