Gyroscope
DEFINITION :
A gyroscope is a device for measuring or maintaining
orientation, based on the principles of conservation of
angular momentum.
History of Gyroscopes
 1817. Johann Bohnenberger created the first know
gyroscope, calling it simply the “machine”.
 1820. Pierre-Simon Laplace recommended the “machine”
be used as a teaching aide.
 1852. Leon Foucault coins the name “gyroscope” when he
uses Bohnenberger’s “machine” in an experiment involving
the earth’s rotation.
 1905 – 1908. The first gyroscope for marine navigation was
developed by German inventor Hermann Anschutz-
Kaempfe.
 1917. The “Chandler gyroscope” toy was invented by the
Chandler Company in India. It is still considered a classic
American toy.
 During World War II, the gyroscope became the prime
component for aircraft and anti-aircraft gun sights.
 1991. Charles Stark Draper Laboratory demonstrated one
of the first MEMS or “Vibratory” gyroscopes fabricated in
silicon.
Principle of Gyroscope :
Whenever a body is rotating in a plane(plane YZ) about an axis(axis
Ox) and a couple is applied on the rotating body across the axis of
rotation or spin in an another perpendicular plane(plane XY), the
rotating or spinning body starts processing in a third mutually
perpendicular plane(plane XZ).
Applications of Gyroscopes
A. In Aeronautics :-
1. Remote control flying devices, helicopters, some
hovercraft, some planes, etc. rely on gyroscopes to
prevent them from flipping over or going into a spin.
2. Spacecraft rely on gyroscopes for orientation while
in space.
3. Aircraft and aircraft autopilots rely on gyroscopes to
account for changes in direction & altitude
B. In Naval field
1. Gyroscope are used in ships to maintain stability as
the effect of gyroscopic couple is on:-
(a.) Steering
(b.) Pitching
(c.) Rolling
C. In automobiles
1. Gyroscopic behaviour is used in the racing car
industry. This is because car engines act just like big
gyroscopes. Because of the gyroscopic forces from the
engine depending on whether the engine is spinning
clockwise or anti-clockwise the cars nose will be forced
up or down.
2. Wheels on motorbikes act as gyroscopes and make
the bike easier to balance (stay up right) when moving.
D. In electronics and gadgets
1. Gyroscopes are used in various fields nowadays such
as in smartphones, video game controllers, computer
mouses and presentation mouses.
