What is the purpose of a gyroscope?
A gyroscope senses change in orientation of a device, and when paired with an accelerometer, is an excellent tool for measuring the orientation of an object in 3D space. Gyroscopes determine angular velocity (ω) typically measured in radians/second.
How does a gyroscope keep spinning?
So the top point on the gyroscope is acted on by the force applied to the axle and begins to move toward the left. It continues trying to move leftward because of Newton’s first law of motion, but the gyro’s spinning rotates it, like this: As the two points rotate, they continue their motion.
Who invented the gyroscope toy?
The first gyroscope was made in 1817 by Johann Bohnenberger. One Hundred years later in 1917, the Chandler Company began selling a toy gyroscope known as the “Chandler Gyroscope”. Everyone should have a TEDCO Gyroscope in their toy box or on their desk!
