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 ...

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 ...

A small, inexpensive and highly accurate gyroscope could help drones and autonomous cars stay on track without a GPS signal. A small, inexpensive and highly accurate gyroscope, developed at the ...

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 ...
