... gyroscopes exhibit drift. Gyroscope drift rate effects are usually classified into three groups. The first group is independent of applied acceleration and encompasses error torques derived from springs, power and signal leads to the float or reaction torques from the signal and torque generators. The second group includes effects proportional to translational acceleration... The final group consists of drift rates proportional to the square of the off-axes acceleration. This is called the nonisoelastic or compliance effect. 1, record 3, English, - gyroscope%20drift%20rate%20effect

GyroTorque Operating Principle. Gyroscopic reaction torque is generated when precessing a spinning rotor. A very common form of gyroscopic reaction is experienced when riding a bicycle, where the front wheel exhibits the properties of a gyroscopic rotor. If, as is too often the case, an off-balance torque is created by gravitational force, the rider intuitively counters the gravitational torque by turning the handle bar, which, in effect, amounts to precessing the rotor-like front wheel. The faster the bicycle is travelling, the greater is the spin of the front wheel and, hence, the smaller is the precession required to counter the off-balance torque. The operational advantages of GyroTorque result from a novel technique of generation and rectification of gyroscopic reaction torque from a rotor as it is applied to an input-independent output shaft. 1, record 5, English, - gyroscopic%20reaction%20torque
