Gyroscope
A gyroscope is a device used for measuring or maintaining orientation and angular velocity. It consists of a spinning wheel or disc that is mounted on a set of gimbals, allowing it to freely rotate in any direction.
About
It consists of a spinning wheel or disc that is mounted on a set of gimbals, allowing it to freely rotate in any direction. The principle of its operation is based on the conservation of angular momentum, where the spinning wheel tends to maintain its orientation in space. Gyroscopes are used in various applications, such as navigation systems, aircraft, satellites, and smartphones, where accurate measurement of angular motion is required. They can also be used for stabilization purposes, as they provide stability and resistance to external forces. Gyroscopes have significantly contributed to the advancement of technology and have become integral in many modern devices.
