  2. Ship stability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ship_stability

    The higher the angular momentum, the greater the resisting force of the gyro to external torque (in this case more ability to cancel boat roll). A gyroscope has three axes: a spin axis, an input axis, and an output axis. The spin axis is the axis about which the flywheel is spinning and is vertical for a boat gyro.

  3. Steering engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steering_engine

    The size of Great Eastern, by far the largest ship of her day, made power steering a necessity. Steam-powered steering engines were employed on large steamships thereafter. The Mississippi River style steamboat Belle of Louisville, (originally Idlewild and oldest in her class), is fitted with a steering engine. Original equipment when the boat ...

    Diagram of the steering gear of an 18th- to 19th-century sailing ship [3]: 151 Helm of TS Golden Bear. A ship's wheel is composed of eight cylindrical wooden spokes (though sometimes as few as six or as many as ten or twelve depending on the wheel's size and how much force is needed to turn it.) shaped like balusters and all joined at a central wooden hub or nave (sometimes covered with a ...

    the steering of DS/ID/GS have no inherent feel (when once vehicle is moving that is, non-assisted ID and GS obviously very stiff at stand-still). the stiffness/heaviness at stand-still is not a question of feedback or kickback. Diravi adds a self-centering force (artificial feel) to a steering system which is otherwise devoid of feel, anyway.

  6. Metacentric height - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metacentric_height

    In a boat, the equivalent of the spring stiffness is the distance called "GM" or "metacentric height", being the distance between two points: "G" the centre of gravity of the boat and "M", which is a point called the metacentre. Metacentre is determined by the ratio between the inertia resistance of the boat and the volume of the boat. (The ...

    A cyclist steering a bicycle by turning the handlebar and leaning. Steering is the control of the direction of motion [1] or the components that enable its control. [2] Steering is achieved through various arrangements, among them ailerons for airplanes, rudders for boats, cylic tilting of rotors for helicopters, [3] and many more.

  9. Rudder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rudder

    Generally, a rudder is "part of the steering apparatus of a boat or ship that is fastened outside the hull, " denoting all types of oars, paddles, and rudders. [1] More specifically, the steering gear of ancient vessels can be classified into side-rudders and stern-mounted rudders, depending on their location on the ship.
