What gyroscope is made of
A fast-spinning rotor that keeps the orientation of its axis (Foucault).
- Rotor — has part. A fast-spinning disc.
- Gimbal rings — has part. Gimbals that give the rotor freedom.
- Ball bearing — has part. Legs.
- Angular momentum — uses. The rotor keeps the direction of its axis.
- MEMS — uses. Phones use MEMS gyroscopes.
- Brass — is made of. Foucault’s gyroscope is brass.
