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 ...

There are two kinds of gyroscopes in widespread use for navigation and control: optical ones, which are extremely sensitive but also expensive, and microelectromechanical (MEMS) ones, which are ...

Most engineers are familiar with the mechanical gyroscope, which you can use either to maintain a fixed heading as a gyrocompass or to provide inertial navigation information when you combine it with ...

(Nanowerk News) In cooperation with an international team at the Institute for Basic Science in South Korea, theoretical chemists Dr. Chandan Das and Professor Lars Schäfer from Ruhr-Universität ...

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 ...

Gyroscope designs used in inertial navigation systems (INS) fall into three basic groups: the classic spinning-rotor mechanical gyro (still in use in specialized situations due to its superior ...

Fiber optic gyroscopes (FOGs) are precision sensors that harness the interference of light within coiled optical fibres to detect rotational motion, thereby playing a critical role in modern ...
