Gyroscopes can be used as devices for direction finding, guidance, and control. If a gyroscope, mounted on its gimbal rings, is set spinning about a horizontal axis, and the outer gimbal ring is rotated in a horizontal plane, then the inner gimbal ring, carrying the flywheel, tilts up out of the horizontal plane in which it, too first lay. After a few oscillations, damped out by friction, the axis of spin of the gyroscope settles down along a vertical direction. Inertial guidance systems make use of very similar phenomena. Once a gyroscope has been set spinning about a chosen axis, any motion that would cause it to deviate from this direction calls into existence a torque that can be used as an error signal to control corrective maneuvers... Some of the most important applications of gyroscopic phenomena are in aircraft instruments. A free (perfectly balanced) gyroscope can give a constant indication of a chosen reference direction for checking the correct course, and a gravitationally loaded gyroscope can be used to identify the true vertical at all times and so define an artificial horizon against which the pilot can measure the angles of bank and climb. 2, record 12, English, - gyroscopic%20phenomenon

Le gyroscope construit par Foucault 1852 est un appareil qui dérive de son pendule. Comme lui, il met en évidence les effets de la rotation de la terre. Il est constitué d’une masse lourde, appelée rotor, en mouvement de rotation rapide autour d’un axe restant fixe dans un référentiel galiléen. Le gyroscope se caractérise par un moment cinétique élevé. Il existe des gyroscopes dont l'axe en rotation est lié à l'armature de l'appareil par deux axes et d’autres reliés à un seul axe. On retrouve le phénomène gyroscopique dans des jouets tels que les toupies. Il est utilisé dans des appareils appelés compas gyroscopiques servant au guidage des missiles, des avions et des satellites. 2, record 12, French, - ph%C3%A9nom%C3%A8ne%20gyroscopique

The gyroscope principle has been utilized in many ... applications such as the gyrocompass and gyropilot ... A compensated magnetic compass, free from external accelerations, indicates magnetic north, which varies from true north ... A gyrocompass, however, when properly adjusted, can be made to indicate true north... Aircraft gyrocompasses are based on automatically monitored directional gyroscopes in which the monitoring device senses the direction of the meridian and ensures that the gyroscope axis is maintained in this direction. The monitoring device consists of a magnetic sensing unit, called the flux valve, and allowance is made for variation in the direction of the Earth's magnetic field. 1, record 15, English, - aircraft%20gyrocompass

Le gyroscope construit par Foucault [en] 1852 est un appareil qui dérive de son pendule. Comme lui, il met en évidence les effets de la rotation de la terre. Il est constitué d’une masse lourde, appelée rotor, en mouvement de rotation rapide autour d’un axe restant fixe dans un référentiel galiléen. [...] Il est utilisé dans des appareils appelés compas gyroscopiques servant au guidage des missiles, des avions et des satellites. 2, record 15, French, - gyrocompas%20pour%20a%C3%A9ronef
