Richard Garriott Space Video Blog: GyroscopesRichard Garriott experiments with a gyroscope to see how it functions in microgravity. He investigates the stability of spinning gyroscope and the effect of external forces on the gyroscope in space. Gyroscopes are used to measure or maintain direction. A gyroscope usually consists of a spinning wheel or disk whose axle is free to point in any direction. When the wheel is spinning fast, the gyroscope resists changes in the direction of its axis. code pour embarquer la vidéo : >>> http://www.youtube.com/embed/I3S-c_s_syY <<< |
