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 ...

Traditionally, gyroscopes were mechanical devicesthat measured the angular rate of rotation. Onecommon use of gyroscopes has been in navigationsystems to provide heading estimation.Installing these ...

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 ...

MEMS gyroscopes are self-contained rotation sensors that can be integrated with linear accelerometers to make single-chip inertial measurement units (IMUs) 1–3. Their small size and low cost have made ...

[Jim] loves gyros – not those newfangled MEMS devices, but old-fashioned mechanical gyroscopes. His obsession has pushed him to build this gyro stabilized two wheeler. We love watching hacks come ...

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 ...

The ADIS16135 iSensor precision angular rate gyro and the ADIS16385 iSensor six-degrees-of-freedom inertial measurement unit (IMU) are both based on ADI’s iMEMS® (integrated Micro Electro Mechanical ...

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 ...
