  2. Gyroscope - Wikipedia

    A gyroscope flywheel will roll or resist about the output axis depending upon whether the output gimbals are of a free or fixed configuration. An example of some free-output-gimbal devices is the attitude control gyroscopes used to sense or measure the pitch, roll and yaw attitude angles in a spacecraft or aircraft.

  3. Hemispherical resonator gyroscope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemispherical_resonator...

    Hemispherical Resonator Gyroscope (HRG) The hemispherical resonator gyroscope (HRG), also called wine-glass gyroscope or mushroom gyro, is a compact, low-noise, high-performance angular rate or rotation sensor. An HRG is made using a thin solid-state hemispherical shell, anchored by a thick stem.

  4. Ring laser gyroscope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring_laser_gyroscope

    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.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gyroscopic_stabilizer

    It senses orientation using a small gyroscope, and counteracts rotation by adjusting control surfaces or by applying force to a large gyroscope. It can be: Some active ship stabilizers adjust "active fins" of the ship or apply force to a large gyroscope. Anti-rolling gyro, or ship stabilizing gyroscope, applies force to a large gyroscope.

  8. Gyroscopic autopilot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gyroscopic_Autopilot

    The key feature of the gyroscopic stabilizer apparatus was that it incorporated a gyroscope to regulate the control surfaces of the aircraft. [1] Lawrence Sperry managed to design a smaller and lighter version of a gyroscope, [1] and the device was integrated into an aircraft's hydraulic control system. Using a negative feedback loop, the ...

  9. Flying gyroscope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flying_gyroscope

    A flying gyroscope (also known as a flying cylinder or flying tube) is a cylindrical wing or annular airfoil. It is thrown like a football, and can fly very far. The William Mark Corporation invented their flying gyroscope, X-Zylo, in 1993. [1] It was invented by Mark Forti, a Baylor University student, and refined within the aerospace industry ...
