I came here from Netflix watching the movie 'Plane' where the main actor Gerard Butler commands his co-pilot to keep eyes on the 'GYRO'. I wasn't convinced with Siri's answer (Gyro is a food item😂), found that gyro was short for gyroscope, and being a visual person wanted to see a gyroscope to understand it! Halfof the video went above my head as you're WAY more intelligent than me but I subscribed anyway :)
The 'ancient' (lol) mechanical gyrocompasses do not just 'point north' because they are started in that direction. They have a lot of ancillary equipment that help them detect the rotation of the earth and align to point towards the geographic pole. I personally have started up many such units and we sometimes will deliberately start them 'off north' and measure how quickly they can find and settle on true north as a test of the equipment. Contrary to your video's description, they do NOT lose accuracy over time. If compensated properly for the ship's speed, they can maintain their accurate heading for months with little need for adjustment.
Thank you a lot! I'm wrinting a final research report for a college course. Honestly, I nearly have no idea about the gyroscope before watching your vedio, but now I finally get how it works by your excellent expianation!
Because they are using AI for generating voice. They are probably not native English speakers and would be worse to voice this by themselves. At least this way we can understand clearly what they are saying.
Older aircraft had two types of gyroscopes. One used in a 'heading indicator' was manually set by the pilot about every 15-30 minutes and was set based on the magnetic compass also found in the cockpit. It had the advantage that it could respond quickly as a plane turned and banked, where the magnetic compass was damped by fluid and took several seconds to settle after a turn. With just magnetic compass, pilots would often turn too far and have to correct flight several times to get steady on a new heading. The the other was a 'artificial horizon'. It was equipped with a small 'erecting system' that basically included a hanging weight sort of mechanism. If the gyroscope started to no longer point 'horizontally', the system applied a small force to the side which would make the gyroscope precess back to the horizontal. This instrument helped the pilot fly straight and level when they couldn't see anything out the window. Flying over the earth's curve, the 'artificial horizon' will maintain 'level to that part of the planet it's over because of the erecting system able to sense which way is 'down'.
I too think that it should say "perpendicular." But that doesn't tell us much anyway, because the plain of rotation itself is perpendicular to the axis of rotation, so any vector from that plain will be perpendicular to that axis.

It's uncomfortable to hear a synthetic narrator as if it's talking directly to the audience. Either the script should've been more objective or a human voice used with the same script.
The human vestibular system works nothing at all like a gyroscope. Arguably halteres (a vestibular organ some insects have) work similarly to a gyroscope, but mammals 100% do not have anything like a gyroscope.
True in the strictest sense. But as is clear from the latter examples, the term gyroscope is used to define any device used to maintain system stability. The gyroscope in your phone does not have a spinning disc relying on angular momentum to determine orientation. The vestibular system detects gravity and pressure changes in 3 dimensions to inform positional data to the brain. So it is in effect our "gyroscope" But I get your point 🍻
Angular momentum is a concept that came from the first hasty math "analogy" that worked. Angular momentum does not really exist, so everything based on it "follows" the analogy, so you don't really understand anything. THINK for yourself and try this. Tilt velocity is ALWAYS perpendicular to the spin plane. Imagine what must happen to TILT VELOCITY as it travels around a spinning disk. A changing velocity creates acceleration, and this acceleration ends up perpendicular to spin velocity, so spin velocity HAS NOTHING to do with it. Spin RATE does. OR, you could just watch my video on it.
@@DingbatToast That is the language that is taught to EVERYONE, even me, and I don't buy it anymore. If you didn't see the point that I was making, then you are still captured in the paradigm. You must try. Everything AFTER a right-hand rule contains NO real cause. "The wheels on the bus go round and round." This song describes EVERYTHING you see a bus do EXACTLY like math does, but you wouldn't call it an understanding of a bus, now would you?
@@DingbatToast What"s even more,,,there is nothing relative about angular velocity (or momentum). Angular velocity is absolute and agreed upon by ALL observers. Each and every linear velocity has INFINITE definitions, which is exactly like saying NO definition. They don't really compare, unless you are resigned to being the rote memory dependent modern scientist that believes everything they are told. There is no responsibility in that.

That optical gyro is an amazing piece of technology for such a simple device. Great explination.
It's not simple
Great 'explination' indeed. Except, the optical gyro is based on a total misconception. Invented in 1963. And turned to be a total failure.

Thanks for stating that! Nice to know! Any recommended links or videos with more info about those?
This video describes mechanical gyroscopes not gyrocompasses which use mechanical gyroscopes
The animations are really awesome and the explanation is also too good.👍
The optical gyro is very popular to be used on ballistic missiles!

9:10 Is the best animation i seen so far. Thanks a lot!!!
Great explanation of the transition in technology and the technology itself 👌
A picture illustrates a thousand words just for the layman viewers to understand, this is a great video ❤❤❤
...yet if you'd paid more attention to a fn dictionary you'd know the plural is laymen.
The voice makes such a solid topic sound like a cheap tiktok video.

@@brockoala2994 What a lovely reply, thank you :)
Wow amazing explanation ❤
Very excellent way of teaching with animation I like it
This is an amazing video. Great work.
I didn't know much about gyroscopes before, but after I studied, I chose ERICCO gyroscopes, and the working ability is very good.
Great and complete explanation
I loved the animations that you used for explaining ❤
how do airplane gyroscopes re calibrate when flying over long distances to allow for earth curve?
Older aircraft had two types of gyroscopes. One used in a 'heading indicator' was manually set by the pilot about every 15-30 minutes and was set based on the magnetic compass also found in the cockpit.

very well explained
Since there are no moving parts in the optical gyroscope, why does the tube move relative to the beam source in the animation?
Thank you so much! Perfect
Omg insanity awesome and complex 😮 i love physics
Wow. Brilliant video
How does the gyro in the artifical horizon of an aircraft follow the curvature of the earth?
Yeah, Concorde flight time and turn radius are dangerously close together.
Excellent Visual explanation
Superb!
8:20 huh?!? apparently, there is a shortage of words in this description.
Absolutely wonderful
Great explanation 😄❤
the different colors that LEDs can emit, and the different applications for LED technology and how they work.
Vector parallel or vector perpendicular??
I too think that it should say "perpendicular." But that doesn't tell us much anyway, because the plain of rotation itself is perpendicular to the axis of rotation, so any vector from that plain will be perpendicular to that axis.
it was awesome thank you so so so much.
good job!
5:22 bro this wheel is spinning the wrong way i got so confused!
Great info but these AI/ computer voices make it so unbearable to follow along.

Watching this video triggered me to going back to university and retake physics classes all over
I'm impressed the gyroscope existed in "ancient times".
Ftt 🔥

Try getting your phone's gyroscope to detect the 15° of earths rotation.
An optical gyro *_does_* have moving parts. They are called photons. 😉
The example of the gyroscope is the live chicken you move his body but his head is not move and he concentrate in one direction
I like to think that we all have a chicken at home to try this on 🐔😊

Angular momentum is an analogue of linear momentum. And as an analogue, it works.

They are the same speed, one just has to travel further than the other
