Gyroscopes

A gyroscope is a device that measures or maintains orientation based on the principles of angular momentum. It typically consists of a spinning rotor or disc, which resists changes to its axis of rotation due to its inertia. This property allows gyroscopes to detect rotational movements and angles, making them essential in navigation systems, aircraft stability, smartphones, and gaming controllers. By sensing how it is tilted or rotated, a gyroscope provides precise data on orientation and movement, helping devices stay steady or understand their position in space.
