The vibrational motion transverse to excited beam motion can then be used to determine the Coriolis component of acceleration, and therefore ω.

The gyroscopic motion of the earth (26,000 years) will be reduced to four minutes. The earth’s swing around the sun (one year) will be crowded into 7.3 seconds or slowed down to seven minutes to ...

The reason is that the spinning mass (of the gyroscope and the top) resists a change in motion. (If you don't have firsthand experience with a gyroscope, try this: Hold the ends of a bicycle wheel ...

The gyroscopic system for gyro monorail trains that Brennan developed. (Credit: Primal Space) Everyone who has ever handled a spinning gyroscope found themselves likely mesmerized by the way it ...
