(1) The earth can be thought of as a gigantic gyroscope , spinning at over 1000 miles per hour at its equator.

(2) A three-axis flight control system uses a heading reference unit and a vertical gyroscope to provide flight stability.

(3) When the axis of a gyroscope is rotated the gyro attempts to make the plane of the rotation of the axis become the new plane of rotation for the gyro.

(4) On returning to the starting point, the spin axis of the gyroscope (green arrow) would have turned 90 degrees from its original heading.

(5) Each gyroscope 's axis, while maintaining its direction with respect to local space-time, will no longer align on the far-off star.

(6) A motor inside the gyrocompass keeps the gyroscope spinning, so the gyrocompass will continue pointing toward north and will adjust itself swiftly and accurately even if the boat is in rough seas or the plane hits turbulence.

(7) The prototype device is able to monitor its orientation using an embedded gyroscope .

(8) These guidance systems consist of a small spinning device called a gyroscope which keeps a constant axis orientation and thus helps to orient the missile.

(9) Any changes in a spacecraft's orientation detected by onboard gyroscopes can be used by guidance systems to make adjustments.

(10) The purpose was to neutralize the gyroscopic forces of the normal rotary engine.

(11) It's got two wheels, five gyroscopes and hundreds of electrical connections.

(12) According to the original scheme, spacewalking astronauts would have replaced failing batteries, gyroscopes and fine-guidance sensors.

(13) The Delphi computer is fed data by sensors and gyroscopes that can sense the slightest tilt in the scooter.

(14) If you've been boating for awhile, there doubtless have been times when you could really use those big gyroscopically stabilized binoculars that the U.S. Navy has used for years.

(15) These gyroscopes control the orientation of the craft.

(16) The chair uses a computerized system of sensors, gyroscopes , and electric motors to convert itself from a standard four-wheeled chair to an elevated chair balanced on only two wheels.

(17) It looks like a hi-tech warehouse trolley or an old-fashioned manual lawnmower, but it is equipped with state-of-the-art gyroscopes , tilt sensors, rechargeable batteries and microprocessors.

(18) The missile's flight is gyroscopically stabilised.

(19) The system consists of a computer and an inertial measurement unit comprising three accelerometers mounted on a gyroscopically stabilized platform.

(20) This guidance system reads gyroscopes and accelerometers and sends appropriate commands to attitude control thrusters.
