The flywheel is painted red, and revolves with the engine crankshaft. The governor weight is inside the flywheel, and is painted yellow. As the speed increases, the weight rotates outward. Movement of the weight is resisted by the spring attached to the weight and the flywheel. Movement of the weight shifts the position of the eccentric, seen behind the flywheel, painted red. Shifting the position of the eccentric changes the amount of steam the valve gear admits to the engine. 1, record 2, English, - governor%20weight

Rigidity in space. The gyroscope resists turning. When it is "gimbaled" (free to move in a given direction) such that it is free to move either in 1, 2 or 3 dimensions, any surface such as an instrument dial attached to the gyro assembly will remain rigid in space even though the case of the gyro turns.

L'inertie gyroscopique, appelée aussi effet gyroscopique, constitue la propriété fondamentale des gyroscopes. [...] Il s’agit d’un principe selon lequel tous les objets résistent naturellement à l'accélération ou au changement de direction.(Par exemple, les occupants d’une voiture sont projetés vers l'avant quand celle-ci s’arrête brusquement parce qu'en raison de leur inertie, les corps continuent leur mouvement vers l'avant même si la voiture s’est arrêtée.) Lorsqu'on parle d’inertie gyroscopique, on fait allusion à l'inertie que possède un corps qui tourne. Tous les objets tournant autour d’un axe ont tendance à maintenir une orientation fixe, c'est-à-dire une direction de rotation et une position fixes, si aucune force n’ intervient. En d’autres mots, un objet qui tourne a tendance à rester dans la même position. 2, record 10, French, - inertie%20gyroscopique

The pilots may believe that the aircraft has reached a very high excess energy and thus, try to pitch down or reduce the engine power.

Le gyroscope a été imaginé par Foucault pour mettre en évidence le mouvement de rotation de la Terre. Son emploi repose sur ce principe de mécanique que lorsqu'un corps, qui n’ est soumis à aucune force extérieure, est animé d’un mouvement de rotation autour d’un de ses axes principaux d’inertie, cet axe doit rester parallèle à lui-même si l'on vient à déplacer le corps d’une manière quelconque, tout en laissant l'axe libre de prendre toutes les directions. Si donc, on imagine qu'une toupie soit suspendue de manière à être soustraite à l'action de la pesanteur, et de façon que son axe de rotation puisse s’orienter dans tous les sens, il arrivera que cet axe conservera une direction fixe dans l'espace, quoi qu'il soit entraîné par le mouvement de la terre; [...] 2, record 18, French, - fixe%20dans%20l%26rsquo%3Bespace

Hands-on experience with gyroscopes is a good way to help children understand rotational motion. Have students experiment with spinning tops on a large, hard, flat surface such as the gymnasium floor. The students should set the tops spinning and make observations about what happens when they push the spinning tops in certain directions. They can try applying force to the gyroscopes at different heights from the ground to see how this affects the movement of a spinning top. All this can be related to gyroscopic principles (such as precession and gyroscopic inertia), as well as applications of these principles (satellites, bicycles, etc.) in real life. 3, record 19, English, - gyroscopic%20principle

La pose [de fixations à cartouches explosives] s’effectue avec l'un ou l'autre de deux outils : 1) un pistolet à effet direct où les gaz d’explosion agissent directement sur la tête de la goupille pour la propulser hors du canon avec une très grande vitesse et une très haute énergie. 2) un outil à effet indirect agissant par l'intermédiaire d’un piston qui, sous l'action de la détonation, vient frapper la tête de la goupille. La force d’inertie du piston fait que l'éjection est moins violente. Les outils de ce type peuvent être actionnés soit par une détente, soit par un marteau. 6, record 21, French, - pistolet%20%C3%A0%20effet%20direct

A discrete particle is one that, in settling, does not alter its size, shape, or weight. In falling freely through a quiescent fluid, [it] accelerates until the frictional resistance or drag, of the fluid equals the impelling force acting upon the particle. Thereafter, the particle settles at a uniform (terminal) velocity ... the impelling force equals the effective weight of the particle ... 1, record 22, English, - impelling%20force
