However, if the gyroscope is tilted around an axis it will exert a force perpendicular to that axis of tilt, known as gyroscopic precession. By tilting the gyroscope with an actuator, and ...

In other words, if the planet were a perfect sphere, there would be no precession. While a top or gyroscope might precess several times each second, a single precession of Earth’s axis takes ...

Toy gyroscopes can do all kinds of interesting tricks. The most mysterious one, precession, seems to defy gravity. By definition, precession refers to a change in the orientation of the rotational ...

This means that if we actively drive the gyro in one axis, we can actively control the force in the perpendicular axis. ... in order to cancel out any unwanted gyroscopic precession.

AN interesting dynamical illustration of the Zeeman effect may be made by fixing a gyroscope so that its axis of rotation is the line of suspension of a pendulum bar so suspended as to be capable ...

The rotation axis tilts just a little bit, and gravity tries to pull the spinning top down. The top can’t fall over, though, because it’s spinning rapidly, creating a gyroscopic effect.

In other words, if our planet were a perfect sphere, there would be no precession. While a top or gyroscope might precess several times each second, a single precession of Earth’s axis takes ...
