The gyro moves at a right angle to the applied force. This is very counter intuitive and is the basis of an inertial guidance system used in aircraft where 3 gyro's spin in three axes.

When force is applied to a spinning gyroscope, it will experience a change in its orientation known as precession. The gyroscope will rotate around a different axis perpendicular to the applied force, causing it to maintain its original orientation in space.

Does a gryoscope put pressure at the point of contact?

Anything that touches something else puts pressure on the point of contact. In some cases, such as tapping a finger on paper or a gyroscope spinning on a flat surface, that pressure is light enough to be negligible.


What happens when you put your hand in a spinning ceiling fan?

Putting your hand in a spinning ceiling fan can result in serious injuries such as cuts, bruises, or even broken bones. The force exerted by the spinning blades can cause significant damage to the hand and arm. It is important to always keep a safe distance from moving ceiling fans to prevent accidents.

Should somebody make an gyroscope vehicle besides everyday vehicles?

Using a gyroscope in a vehicle has been among the favorite topics of science fiction writers for a long time, primarily because writers aren't necessarily competent engineers. What would be the advantage of a gyroscope? There would be the possibility of recapturing some of the kinetic energy as the vehicle slows, especially if you could find a way to put that energy into the spinning gyroscope. However, the extra mass of any gyroscope that would be able to store that much kinetic energy, would also make the vehicle far too heavy for practical operation. If something like that were practical, automotive engineers would have jumped on it; but if you believe that there is a practical use of gyroscopes in automobiles, perhaps you could develop such a vehicle and make yourself rich.


How do a gyroscope work?

The fundamental idea behind the working of a gyroscope is that of conservation of angular momentum. But to understand this idea more fully, it may help to explain a few things, so let's dive in by talking about a wheel and axle and how its mounted. If a wheel or disc spins about a center on a axle, that spinning wheel carries with it some kinetic energy. The wheel has mass, it took energy to set it spinning, and it is now spinning, hence the energy of its spin (momentum). If we then mount the axle in a ring, we can hold the ring and the wheel will spin on the axle. Now we'll mount the ring with the spinning wheel in it. When we look at the ring with the spinning wheel in it, we can find two points on our ring that are in the plane of rotation of the wheel. We then put two small "stubs" out from there and mount our first ring in another ring. The mount will allow us to hold the outer ring and allow the inner ring to move independently. Lastly, we take a third ring and mount the whole thing inside that one. But we need to be sure to pick two points on the plane of rotation of the wheel, but 90 degrees from the points where the innermost ring mounts to the second ring. We have set up gimbals so the outer most ring can be mounted to an object and the inner rings will allow the axle of the spinning wheel to always point in the same direction. The use of very low friction components in our mountings and the application of electromagnetic pulses to keep the gyroscope spinning will insure things keep working. And by using sensors to keep track of the orientation of the rings, we can use this device to keep track of movement. The Wikipedia link below will allow an investigator to jump to the gyroscope article posted there. It is extremely helpful because the moving diagrams there will allow inspection of a gyroscope in action. With the outermost frame mounted and the gimbals operating properly, the axle, which is the axis of rotation of the wheel, will always point in the same direction regardless of the orientation of whatever the frame is mounted to.

What happens when you put more force on an object?

Applying more force to an object will cause it to accelerate or deform depending on its properties. If the force exceeds the object's strength, it may break or undergo significant changes.


What force is created by the earth can tilt spinning columns of air?

The Coriolis force, caused by the Earth's rotation, can cause spinning columns of air like hurricanes and tornadoes to tilt and rotate. It influences the direction of the winds in these weather systems by deflecting them to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere.


What happens when you put a clutch in backwards?

You cannot physically put a clutch disk in backwards unless you force it together. If you do this you will destroy the clutch disc and possibly other clutch components.


Why spinning is used in MEMS process?

spinning is the process of spreading a thin layer of polymer on the surface of a wafer by spinning the wafer at high speed. It is used in MEMS processes because it is an inexpansive method to put photoresist on silicon wafer.
