gyroscopes, plural;
  1. A device consisting of a wheel or disk mounted so that it can spin rapidly about an axis that is itself free to alter in direction. The orientation of the axis is not affected by tilting of the mounting; so gyroscopes can be used to provide stability or maintain a reference direction in navigation systems, automatic pilots, and stabilizers

  1. rotating mechanism in the form of a universally mounted spinning wheel that offers resistance to turns in any direction
  2. (gyroscopic) having the characteristics of a gyroscope
  3. A gyroscope is a device for measuring or maintaining orientation, based on the principles of conservation of angular momentum. A mechanical gyroscope is essentially a spinning wheel or disk whose axle is free to take any orientation. ...
  4. The Gyroscope was a brass era automobile built in Detroit, Michigan first by the Blomstrom Manufacturing Company in 1908, and then the Lion Motor Car Company in Adrian, Michigan in 1909. ...
  5. Gyroscope is an Australian rock band from Perth, Western Australia, formed in 1997. The band comprises vocalist and guitarist Daniel Sanders, guitarist and back up vocalist Zoran Trivic, bassist and back up vocalist Brad Campbell and drummer Rob Nassif.
  6. Caroline Records started out as a subsidiary of Richard Branson's Virgin Records label during the early to mid 1970s. ...
  7. "Gyroscope" is a song by Canadian rock band The Tea Party. It was released as a promotional single in Australia, Canada and the USA.transmission era Accessed 18 May 2007. It received airplay on Australian radio station Triple J.
  8. Gyroscope is an action video game published by Melbourne House in 1985 for a number of home computers. It is based on the Atari arcade game Marble Madness.
  9. an apparatus composed of a wheel which spins inside of a frame (gimbal) and causes the balancing of the frame in any direction or position. In the form of a gyroscopic stabilizer, used to help keep aircraft and ships steady
  10. A spherical object that spins stably in all three planes. It takes a lot of energy to move a gyroscope because its spin is so stable. ...
  11. angular velocity sensor, which is used in sensing rotating velocity or orientation
  12. An instrument that maintains an angular reference direction by virtue of a rapidly spinning mass. "Gyroscopes have been around since the early 1850s, when French physicist Jean-Bernard-Léon Foucault invented them to demonstrate that Earth rotated. ...
  13. A disc with a heavy rim mounted in such a way that its axis of rotation can adopt any position. Once the disc is spinning, the rotation axis remains fixed with reference to fixed stars, which makes the gyroscope useful for determining movement away from a fixed course. ...
  14. A device consisting of a wheel so mounted that its spinning axis is free to rotate; once set in rotation, its axis will maintain constant direction, even when Earth is turning underneath. When its axis is pointed due north, it may be used as a gyro compass.
  15. Gyroscopes measure angular velocity (Ω) by sensing Coriolis acceleration and are traditionally used for measuring the rate of rotation.
  16. A heavy wheel or disk mounted so that its axis can turn freely in one or more directions. A spinning gyroscope tends to resist change in the direction of its axis.
  17. A gyroscope, or gyro, is an electro-mechanical device used in a helicopter to help semi-automate the response of the tail rotor. In the case of an R/C chopper, the device fits electrically between the receiver and the servo that controls the pitch of the tail rotor blades. ...
  18. A well balanced flywheel, rotating at high speed and generating a high moment of rotation. Gyroscopes work to maintain their original orientation, and so are used to provide stability to rockets.
  19. Human female milk-producing gland.
