Airplanes, submarines and even automobiles of tomorrow may be equipped with arrays of inexpensive high-performance micro-mechanical gyroscopes for navigation and other purposes. The proprietary system ...

A gyroscope is a mechanical device that consists of a spinning wheel or disk mounted on a set of rotating axes. A gyroscope demonstrates the principle of angular momentum and maintains the orientation ...

Abstract—(MEMS) Microelectromechanical systemsin consumer electronics are growing faster each year, with increasing demands from the mobile market, which is dominating the growth for this emerging ...

A new detection scheme that may lead to the world's smallest gyroscope has been uncovered by scientists. More than creative learning toys, gyroscopes are indispensable components in a number of ...

Aviation instruments are highly interesting pieces of engineering, and it is quite satisfying to watch the often over-engineered mechanisms behind them. If you are into that sort of thing it is ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. A team of Chinese scientists has reportedly developed a new fibre-optic gyroscope that is stable across a wide range of ...

Mechanical Design Labs has created and launched a unique version of the traditional gyroscope, to provide a distraction or focus tool on your desk while studying, working or when you need a little ...

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 highbrow ...

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 ...

In a worst-case scenario, gyroscope failure could render the Landsat 7 Earth observation spacecraft useless by the end of 2007. While maintaining that the probability of such a catastrophe is unlikely ...
