The Two Frame Gyroscope. When the rotor is spinning and the spin axis is in a horizontal plane a definite resistance will be felt owing to gyroscope inertia, at the same time the spin axis will begin to precess in a vertical plane and will continue to do so with sufficient power to lift light weights until all the gyroscopic inertia disappears due to the rotor slowing and stopping. The Three Frame Gyroscope. If the base of a three framed gyroscope is held in the hand with the rotor spinning and turned about any of the three axes, the rotor will continue to point in the original direction in space. This property is known as gyroscope inertia. 2, record 1, English, - three%2Dframe%20gyroscope

L'analyse des données provenant des trois encodeurs optiques du gyroscope démontre sans doute qu'au moins un des axes s’est bloqué très tôt au cours du vol. Le gyroscope n’ étant plus libre de pivoter sur trois degrés de liberté, des forces de précession sont probablement apparues, causant des rotations aux axes libres qui ne correspondent pas à des mouvements réels de la fusée en vol. Comme le gyroscope a pu être récupéré, un examen de la structure a été effectué après le vol. L'équipe du Gaul a pu constater que le gyroscope a subi des dommages importants : les cadres externes et internes sont très déformés, l'axe des cadres brisé, plusieurs fils sont rompus et l'encodeur de l'axe des cadres présente une grande résistance à la rotation. 2, record 1, French, - gyroscope%20%C3%A0%20trois%20cadres

Three-frame gyroscopes. The unrestrained or "free" three-frame gyroscope has little practical use, because its spin axis is subject to tilting and drifting owing to the rotation of the Earth. 1, record 3, English, - unrestrained%20three%2Dframe%20gyroscope

Mine roadways offer resistance to air flow due mainly by surface drag between air and roadway sides (...) Energy losses are directly proportional to the cube of the air quantity flowing. A simpler pressure difference relationship is used which is derived from basic fluid flow principles and which can be related to Atkinson's equation. In this case P = RQ [squared] where P is the frictional pressure difference across a length of roadway in pascals: R is the roadway resistance in Gauls (...); and Q the air-flow rate in [cub metre] / s. Roadway resistances are expressed in Gauls per 100 m of airway (...) 1, record 5, English, - Gaul

Selon ce qu'en dit M. Favre Bulle, directeur de la revue "Industrie minérale", le Gaul est, dans le nouveau système international, l'unité de mesure de la résistance d’une galerie d’aérage, d’après la formule h=rxq au carré, où h représente la différence de charge(en pascals) ;r, la résistance(en Gauls), et q le débit(en mètres cubes/seconde). L'ancien système d’unités français utilisait le "murgue", un kilomurgue valant 9, 81 Gauls. 1, record 5, French, - Gaul
