#gyroscopes — Public Fediverse posts

🚂⚖️ Inventor Louis Brennan developed a self-balancing #train that remained upright on one rail using heavy, fast-spinning #gyroscopes. The 1910 #engineering project showed how #physics allowed a vehicle to lean into turns and stay stable even when stopped. Archival footage captures the full-scale prototype during its public debut in #London.

"This year, two companies—Santa Clara, California-based Anello Photonics and Montreal-based One Silicon Chip Photonics (OSCP)—have introduced new gyroscope-on-a-chip navigation systems, allowing for precise heading and distance tracking without satellite signals."

I used to buy loads of vintage engineering and machining books but I've calmed down a little on that front. This one just found it's way to me though! #gyroscopes

#Hubble back in service after gyro scare—#NASA still studying reboost options
Hubble still provides valuable scientific data for #astronomers nearly 34 years since its launch aboard #SpaceShuttle in 1990. Astronauts on the last of the shuttle repair flights in 2009 installed 6 #gyroscopes. 3-of-6 gyros installed in 2009 have failed, The three functioning gyros are based on newer design for longer life, but one of these units has shown signs of wear in last few months.
