Gyroscopes are devices that use the principles of angular momentum to measure or maintain orientation. They were first developed in the early 19th century and have since found applications in navigation, aircraft, ships, automobiles, and electronics. Gyroscopes work by producing gyroscopic forces that cause the spinning object to resist changes to its orientation when external torques are applied. They are used in applications like remote controlled vehicles, spacecraft, aircraft autopilots, ships, motorbikes, smartphones, and computer peripherals to help maintain stability and orientation.
This document describes the components and working principle of a gyrocompass. A gyrocompass uses a gyroscope mounted on a set of gimbals to maintain its axis of rotation and always point towards geographic north. This allows ships and airplanes to navigate regardless of their motion or orientation. The document outlines the key parts of a gyrocompass including the gyroscope, gimbals, and transducers to measure pitch, roll and yaw. It also provides details on construction, specifications for sample components, advantages over magnetic compasses, and a total cost estimate of 1348 rupees to build a basic three-axis gyrocompass.
The document discusses various gyroscopic flight instruments used in aircraft, including the attitude indicator, heading indicator, and turn indicators. It explains the gyroscopic principles of rigidity in space and precession that allow these instruments to function. The attitude indicator uses gyroscopic rigidity to indicate the aircraft's pitch and roll attitudes relative to the horizon. The heading indicator maintains a fixed orientation to indicate heading. Turn indicators show the rate and quality of turns.
A gyrocompass uses a spinning wheel or gyroscope mounted on gimbals to automatically point toward geographic north. It maintains its axis of rotation regardless of the motion of the ship or airplane it is mounted on. By measuring the tilt of the gimbal frame, the gyrocompass can determine the amount of pitch, roll and yaw. It is useful for navigation where magnetic compasses are ineffective near the poles. The document outlines the components, working principle, advantages and limitations of a gyrocompass. It then provides specifications for constructing a basic 3-axis gyrocompass and estimates the total cost.
This document discusses simple machines and their uses. It describes six simple machines: levers, wheels and axles, inclined planes, wedges, screws, and pulleys. For each machine it explains how they work by magnifying an input force or reducing the amount of force needed. Simple machines have been used for thousands of years and were studied by Archimedes. They can be combined to create mechanical advantages in devices like bicycles.
Gyroscope sensors measure angular velocity by detecting the Coriolis effect on a vibrating mass. They have specifications including measurement range, number of sensing axes, nonlinearity, temperature range, and noise parameters. MEMS gyroscopes typically use a vibrating proof mass driven electrostatically while rotation is detected via sense electrodes measuring the Coriolis-induced deflection perpendicular to the drive mode. The Coriolis effect causes an apparent deflection in a rotating reference frame due to inertial forces.

Gyroscopes are spinning wheels or discs whose axis of rotation remains free to assume any orientation. Whenever a rotating body changes its axis of rotation, a gyroscopic couple acts on it. Gyroscopes can balance on a finger or string due to these gyroscopic forces. They are used as central components in aircraft, ships, robots, and spacecraft to maintain orientation independent of vehicle movement and provide pilots with information about aircraft position through connected sensors and contacts.
A gyroscope is a device that uses angular momentum to detect orientation and maintain stability. It works based on the principle that a torque applied perpendicular to the gyroscope's axis of rotation causes it to precess around an axis perpendicular to both the torque and its angular momentum. Modern gyroscopes use electronics and include microelectromechanical systems, fiber optic gyroscopes, vibrating structure gyroscopes, dynamically tuned gyroscopes, and laser-based gyroscopes.

Aerodynamic drag reduction by Vortex GeneratorsAbhijith C
The document discusses the use of vortex generators to reduce aerodynamic drag. Vortex generators are small vanes attached to surfaces like aircraft wings or vehicles. They work by creating tip vortices that draw high-energy air from outside the boundary layer into the slower-moving air close to the surface. This transitions the boundary layer from laminar to turbulent flow, which is less prone to separating from the surface at high speeds or angles of attack. Vortex generators have been shown to delay flow separation on aircraft wings and are now used on vehicles like cars and trucks to reduce drag and improve fuel efficiency at highway speeds.

This document summarizes an experiment analyzing lift on a rotating cylinder. A 1.5 inch diameter hollow polypropylene cylinder was tested in a wind tunnel at various rotation speeds (RPMs) and air velocities. Experimental results showed that increasing the non-dimensional speed ratio (ratio of cylinder rotation to air velocity) increased the coefficient of lift per unit length, though not as high as potential flow theory predictions due to viscous effects. Results were similar to a previous 2001 experiment by Aoki and Ito but slightly different likely due to differences in cylinder/test section setup. Overall, lift per unit length increased with higher speed ratios for the Reynolds number range tested.

A Basic And Simple Presentation Over The Air Muscles or Pneumatically Actuated Muscles(P.A.M) Which Are Now Considered A Alternative TO The Conventional Pneumatic Cylinders
Good For A Overview, Not A Thorough Study!!!
This document describes a student project to design and construct model wind turbines. Each group designed their own airfoil and support structure. This group focused on using triangles in their tower design and aerodynamics in their airfoil. They constructed a four-sided pyramid tower out of yellow pine dowels for its stiffness. Their airfoil was designed in Solidworks to have an asymmetrical cross-section to generate lift from wind. Testing showed the turbine had high stiffness but low power, likely due to the airfoil design being better suited for aircraft than wind turbines.
Helicopters generate lift through rapidly spinning rotor blades. As the blades spin, they push air downwards, creating higher pressure below the blades and lower pressure above. This pressure difference results in an upward force called lift. Pilots control a helicopter's movement through control devices like the collective, cyclic, and anti-torque pedals, which alter the rotor blade angles and direction of thrust. Helicopters can hover, fly in any direction, and carry heavy loads, but are more complex than airplanes due to the need to counteract torque from the main rotor.

Embedded machine learning-based road conditions and driving behavior monitoringIJECEIAES
Car accident rates have increased in recent years, resulting in losses in human lives, properties, and other financial costs. An embedded machine learning-based system is developed to address this critical issue. The system can monitor road conditions, detect driving patterns, and identify aggressive driving behaviors. The system is based on neural networks trained on a comprehensive dataset of driving events, driving styles, and road conditions. The system effectively detects potential risks and helps mitigate the frequency and impact of accidents. The primary goal is to ensure the safety of drivers and vehicles. Collecting data involved gathering information on three key road events: normal street and normal drive, speed bumps, circular yellow speed bumps, and three aggressive driving actions: sudden start, sudden stop, and sudden entry. The gathered data is processed and analyzed using a machine learning system designed for limited power and memory devices. The developed system resulted in 91.9% accuracy, 93.6% precision, and 92% recall. The achieved inference time on an Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense with a 32-bit CPU running at 64 MHz is 34 ms and requires 2.6 kB peak RAM and 139.9 kB program flash memory, making it suitable for resource-constrained embedded systems.

A review on techniques and modelling methodologies used for checking electrom...nooriasukmaningtyas
The proper function of the integrated circuit (IC) in an inhibiting electromagnetic environment has always been a serious concern throughout the decades of revolution in the world of electronics, from disjunct devices to today’s integrated circuit technology, where billions of transistors are combined on a single chip. The automotive industry and smart vehicles in particular, are confronting design issues such as being prone to electromagnetic interference (EMI). Electronic control devices calculate incorrect outputs because of EMI and sensors give misleading values which can prove fatal in case of automotives. In this paper, the authors have non exhaustively tried to review research work concerned with the investigation of EMI in ICs and prediction of this EMI using various modelling methodologies and measurement setups.

Using Mackinder's Heartland, Spykman Rimland, and Hegemonic Stability theories, examines China's role
in Central Asia. This study adheres to the empirical epistemological method and has taken care of
objectivity. This study analyze primary and secondary research documents critically to elaborate role of
china’s geo economic outreach in central Asian countries and its future prospect. China is thriving in trade,
pipeline politics, and winning states, according to this study, thanks to important instruments like the
Shanghai Cooperation Organisation and the Belt and Road Economic Initiative. According to this study,
China is seeing significant success in commerce, pipeline politics, and gaining influence on other
governments. This success may be attributed to the effective utilisation of key tools such as the Shanghai
Cooperation Organisation and the Belt and Road Economic Initiative.

Low power architecture of logic gates using adiabatic techniquesnooriasukmaningtyas
The growing significance of portable systems to limit power consumption in ultra-large-scale-integration chips of very high density, has recently led to rapid and inventive progresses in low-power design. The most effective technique is adiabatic logic circuit design in energy-efficient hardware. This paper presents two adiabatic approaches for the design of low power circuits, modified positive feedback adiabatic logic (modified PFAL) and the other is direct current diode based positive feedback adiabatic logic (DC-DB PFAL). Logic gates are the preliminary components in any digital circuit design. By improving the performance of basic gates, one can improvise the whole system performance. In this paper proposed circuit design of the low power architecture of OR/NOR, AND/NAND, and XOR/XNOR gates are presented using the said approaches and their results are analyzed for powerdissipation, delay, power-delay-product and rise time and compared with the other adiabatic techniques along with the conventional complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) designs reported in the literature. It has been found that the designs with DC-DB PFAL technique outperform with the percentage improvement of 65% for NOR gate and 7% for NAND gate and 34% for XNOR gate over the modified PFAL techniques at 10 MHz respectively.
We have compiled the most important slides from each speaker's presentation. This year’s compilation, available for free, captures the key insights and contributions shared during the DfMAy 2024 conference.
