  2. Gyroscopic exercise tool - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gyroscopic_exercise_tool

    The rate of rotation of the internal ball increases as the total amount of torque applied is increased. The direction of the torque does not matter, as long as it is perpendicular to the plane of rotation of the ball. The friction of the ring increases on the side opposite to the plane of rotation.

  3. Terraria - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terraria

    Terraria (/ t ə ˈ r ɛər i ə / ⓘ tə-RAIR-ee-ə [1]) is a 2011 action-adventure sandbox game developed by Re-Logic. The game was first released for Windows and has since been ported to other PC and console platforms.

  4. Gyroball - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gyroball

    Its bullet-like spinning motion may hide the seams of a ball from the view of the batter, making it difficult to predict the pitch. Typical strategy entails throwing many variations of pitches, followed by a gyroball. The batter, predicting a change in speed caused by the ball's spin, may adapt to the wrong speed and swing incorrectly.

  5. Flick Stick - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flick_Stick

    The right analog stick is intended to be used for quick turns, and the gyro is used for precise aiming. In explaining Flick Stick's design, designer Jibb Smart claimed that analog sticks are "too small" for precise aiming; instead, by treating gyro aim "as a mouse", players would enjoy a higher degree of precision than in traditional control ...

  6. Gyroscope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gyroscope

    Diagram of a gyro wheel. Reaction arrows about the output axis (blue) correspond to forces applied about the input axis (green), and vice versa. A gyroscope is an instrument, consisting of a wheel mounted into two or three gimbals providing pivoted supports, for allowing the wheel to rotate about a single axis.

  7. Hemispherical resonator gyroscope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemispherical_resonator...

    The hemispherical resonator gyroscope (HRG), also called wine-glass gyroscope or mushroom gyro, is a compact, low-noise, high-performance angular rate or rotation sensor. An HRG is made using a thin solid-state hemispherical shell, anchored by a thick stem.

  8. PIGA accelerometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PIGA_accelerometer

    A critical requirement for accuracy is low static friction in the bearings of the pendulum; this is achieved by various means ranging from double ball bearing with a superimposed oscillatory motion to dither the bearing above its threshold or through the use of gaseous or fluid bearings or by the alternative method of floating the gyroscope in ...

  9. Gyrobus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gyrobus

    Other problems included breakage of gyro ball bearings, and high humidity resulting in traction motor overload. The system's demise, however, came because of high energy consumption. The bus operator deemed that 3.4 kWh /km per gyrobus was unaffordable, so closure came in the summer of 1959 with the gyrobuses being abandoned and replaced with ...
