The critical part of a gyroscope is the spinning wheel, which an electric motor keeps it spinning at a rate of more than 20,000 rpm. A gyroscope wheel cross section will vary in different gyroscopes, but the general design aim is to provide the greatest moment of inertial consistent with adequate strength and heat dissipation. 2, record 2, English, - spinning%20wheel

The gyroscope is a rotor, or spinning wheel, rotating at high speed in a universal mounting, called a gimbal, so its axle can be pointed in any direction. 4, record 2, English, - spinning%20wheel

Un gyroscope est essentiellement constitué d'un solide de révolution animé d'un mouvement de rotation rapide atour de son axe de symétrie. Le solide de révolution est appelé rotor ou toupie gyroscopique. Dans un grand nombre de cas d'utilisation concrète, le rotor doit pouvoir prendre n'importe quelle position dans l'espace. 6, record 2, French, - rotor
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 3 CONT
