  2. Gyroscope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gyroscope

    So the rotor possesses three degrees of rotational freedom and its axis possesses two. The rotor responds to a force applied to the input axis by a reaction force to the output axis. A gyroscope flywheel will roll or resist about the output axis depending upon whether the output gimbals are of a free or fixed configuration.

  3. Gyrocar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gyrocar

    Two contra-rotating gyros were housed under the front seats, spun in a horizontal plane at 3500 rpm by 24V electric motors powered from standard car batteries. This was the greatest speed obtainable with the electric motors available, and meant that each rotor had to weigh 200 lb (91 kg) to generate sufficient forces.

  4. Inertial navigation system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inertial_navigation_system

    Two gyroscopes are used to cancel gyroscopic precession, the tendency of a gyroscope to twist at right angles to an input torque. By mounting a pair of gyroscopes (of the same rotational inertia and spinning at the same speed in opposite directions) at right angles the precessions are cancelled and the platform will resist twisting.

  5. Gyroscope (automobile) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gyroscope_(automobile)

    The Gyroscope was an American brass era automobile built in Detroit, Michigan first by the Blomstrom Manufacturing Company in 1908, and then the Lion Motor Car Company in Adrian, Michigan in 1909. The Gyroscope was so named because of its engine, a horizontal opposed two-cylinder engine, which had a horizontal flywheel. It was claimed the ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autogyro

    The rotor head, pre-rotator shaft, and Subaru engine configuration on a VPM M-16 autogyro. An autogyro is characterized by a free-spinning rotor that turns because of the passage of air through the rotor from below. [6] [7] The downward component of the total aerodynamic reaction of the rotor gives lift to the vehicle, sustaining it in the air ...

    2007: Toyota introduced Map on Demand, a technology for distributing map updates to car navigation systems, developed as the first of its kind in the world; 2008: World's first navigation system-linked brake assist function and Navigation system linked to Adaptive Variable Suspension System (NAVI/AI-AVS) on Toyota Crown

  9. Yaw (rotation) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yaw_(rotation)

    Yaw velocity can be measured by measuring the ground velocity at two geometrically separated points on the body, or by a gyroscope, or it can be synthesized from accelerometers and the like. It is the primary measure of how drivers sense a car's turning visually. Axes of a ship and rotations around them. It is important in electronic stabilized ...
