A spinning gyroscope doesn't lock onto the Earth, it locks onto the universe, so how do ships coax it into pointing north? From gyroscopic precession to the Sagnac effect, here's the surprisingly ...

Identifying the features that can improve performance in specific systems is the goal of an evaluation kit for the companyÕs proprietary fiber optic gyros (FOGs). In addition to explaining how a fiber ...

Researchers have built a prototype fiber optic gyroscope for high resolution, real-time monitoring of ground rotations caused by earthquakes in the active volcanic area of Campi Flegrei in Naples, ...

Most engineers are familiar with the mechanical gyroscope, which you can use either to maintain a fixed heading as a gyrocompass or to provide inertial navigation information when you combine it with ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. A team of Chinese scientists has reportedly developed a new fibre-optic gyroscope that is stable across a wide range of ...

Researchers built a prototype fiber optic gyroscope (pictured) for high resolution, real-time monitoring of ground rotations caused by earthquakes in an active volcanic area. The fibers are precisely ...
