Des gyroscopes à suspension électrique sont utilisés dans les centrales inertielles les plus précises (sous-marins nucléaires). Une bille quasiment parfaite joue le rôle du gyroscope. En fonctionnement, cette bille est suspendue, grâce à des forces électrostatiques, à l'intérieur d'une cavité sphérique tapissée d'électrodes. La bille ainsi suspendue est mise en rotation par un champ magnétique tournant produit par des enroulements situés à l'extérieur. 5, record 1, French, - gyroscope%20%C3%A0%20suspension%20%C3%A9lectrostatique
