The Gyroscope
The gyroscope is a device for measuring or maintaining orientation,
based on the principles of angular momentum.The device is a spinning wheel or disk whose axle is free to take any
orientation. This orientation changes much less in response to a given external
torque than it
would without the large angular momentum associated with the gyroscope's high
rate of spin. Since external torque is minimized by mounting the device in gimbals, its
orientation remains nearly fixed, regardless of any motion of the platform on
which it is mounted.
