What Is A Gyroscope
Gyroscope is a device
consisting of a spinning
mass, typically a disk or
wheel, mounted on a base
so that its axis can turn
freely in one or more
directions and thereby
maintain its orientation
regardless of any
movement of the base.
Historical Issue
The
Gyroscopic Effect
A straightforward
Coriolis effect
Examples:
River bank
Trains wheels
observation:
power consumption,
High sensitivity,
Low temperature drift,
Good stability
Principle of Gyro
Coriolis force -- the main physical principal to
explain the vibrating gyroscope operation.
In general, when in a rotating frame, there is a
force on all moving objects which is given by:
FCoriolis = -2 m (w x vr)
Where w is angular frequency and vr is radial
velocity.
The direction of Coriolis force is orthogonal to the
velocity vector and the rotation vector.
Principle of Gyro
The spin axis: the
source of the gyroscopic
effect
The primary axis:
conceptually the input or
driving axis
The secondary axis:
output

Conclusion
Gyroscope is very useful in many applications.
To chose the right rate gyro sensor, some
features, such as power consumption, weight,
dimension, etc., must be taken into
consideration.
