The germans used these in WWII to guide their ballistic V2 missiles

To whomever is narrating this video, you have a very listenable voice.

got one of these today for xmas, i wondered what it did!

@Sp2391 yes there is, ipod touches have built in gyroscopes in them

[NickmanGiovanni]

Moment, or torque, is defined by the equation:

M = w x H

Where w (omega) is the precession rate of the gyro, and H is the angular momentum, or I*w of the gyroscope itself.

The gyroscope rotates around the black stand at a rate w because of the moment which gravity creates on it, thus keeping it from falling down.

Also, angular momentum is always trying to align itself with the torque, explaining the constant precession (w) which we can clearly see.

I woned why dont they use gyroscopes in robot toys.They would be way more stable and able to walk without falling or looking akward.Also gyroscopes are used in big ships so that the waves in the sees dont take them down.Titanic i think was the first ship with a gyroscope.

awesome technology!

i agree i love how every comment is thumbed up

[dragodestroyer99]

i got mine from hobby lobby

try putting it on the tip of a pencil
