Speed kills colour... the gyroscope, when turning at full speed, shows up gray.

French Diplomat

Used mostly in technical contexts like navigation, robotics, or smartphones.

Technical Device

Refers to a physical principle, which might be briefly explained if relevant in the conversation.

Physical Principle

Implies high precision and control, often important in the context it's used.

Precision Importance

In toys, gyroscope demonstrates physics in an interactive, engaging way.

Fun Interaction

Often used to introduce children to concepts of physics and rotation.

Educational Toy

It's captivating to see the unexpected ways a toy gyroscope can move.

Gyroscopic Effects

 Because when the government says that a family like Ella's costs a quarter of a million pounds a year to manage, what it really means is that this system costs a quarter of a million pounds a year. Because not one penny of this money actually touches Ella's family in a way that makes a difference. Instead, the system is just like this costly gyroscope

 So the question How does something that is not touching anything know where it is? The answer is that right in the middle of it, it has something that, to my great disappointment, isn't a raw egg, but basically does the same job. It's got gyroscopes which are spinning, and because of the law of conservation of angular momentum,

 So this is our laboratory, and I want to show you the first concussion we measured with this device. One of the things that I should point out is the device has this gyroscope in it, and that allows you to measure the rotation of the head. Most experts think that that's the critical factor

Why helmets don't...

 It's got a gyroscope that helps stabilize it. It's got sensors and a control computer. Here's a Cheetah robot that's running with a galloping gait, where it recycles its energy, it bounces on the ground, and it's computing all the time in order to keep itself stabilized and propelled.

 They have sensors on their wing. Their wing is covered with sensors, including sensors that sense deformation of the wing. They can even taste with their wings. One of the most sophisticated sensors a fly has is a structure called the halteres. The halteres are actually gyroscopes.

 there's been a lot of time figuring out how to make this picture and ultimately we ended up raising cameras up into the canopy we made it mechanized we put three cameras on a dolly there's a gyroscope
