What happens when you put force on a spinning gyroscope?
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.
What is the difference between gyro and directional gyro?
The term Gyro refers to any Gyroscope (Space,Earth,Tied or Rate) whereas Directional Gyro is typically a Tied Gyro which is used in Aircraft for the purpose of Heading reference in DGI (Directional Gyro indicator) because it does not suffer any errors like magnetic compass.
What does a magnetic compass do?
It uses a magnetic needle to point to the earth's magnetic North Pole. The only other type of compass used is a gyro-compass. This uses a wheel which rotates parallel with the earth's rotation.
What is the Difference between magnetic and gyro compass?
A magnetic compass uses the poles of our planet to stay in alignment. A Gyroscopic compass is set to a particular direction and tends to try to stay that way. After time, even the best Gyro will start to precess (move). This means the you will need to compare your Gyro to the magnetic every 15 minutes or so. Some modern gyroscopic compasses are capable of auto resetting to do this update automatically
What is a gyro sensor?
A gyro sensor is when the pokemon ball comes up and you cant catch it, you use this.
Who invented the gyro compass and Gyroscope?
Elmer Ambrose Sperry was the inventor of the gyro compass and gyroscope.
When is the annunciator of a remote indicating compass system used?
For synchronising the magnetic and gyro compass elements For synchronising the magnetic and gyro compass elements
How does a gyro compass work?
Rather than type a long answer - see the related link from Wikipedia for their entry on a gyro-compass.

What did Elmer Sperry invent?
Most notably, the gyro compass.
What is the advantage of gyro compass?
its getting to ship , wiring of the line of tube
Instrument used for taking bearings by the use of gyro compass?

What is gyro repeater?
a navigational compass, under the control of a gyroscope, that automatically indicates true north.
