Of course the main gyroscopes will balance the ship laterally, horizontally, and vertically, but each chair will have a separate gyroscopic mounting for safety.
Even the heavy gyroscopes could not hold it for an instant, but quickly the straining motors brought them to rest in air that whirled and whined about them.
The gyroscopes in the base here cause the entire chair to remain stable if the ship rolls, but the chair can continue to revolve about this bearing here so that we will not be forced out of our seats.
The low click was succeeded by a quick shrilling sound that rose in moments above the range of hearing as the separate seat-gyroscopes took up their work.
The English, the invention of an Australian named Brennan, had its first form in a model, a small car on which the gyroscopes rotated at the enormous speed of seventy-five hundred revolutions per minute.
The gyroscopes in this, moved by a gasoline engine, revolved in a vacuum at a speed of three thousand rotations a minute.
The car, as a whole, weighs down on the track just as heavily with the gyroscopes in action as when they are still.
There are certain very important additional principles involved that I shall refer to in a moment, but first let us glance at the car itself and see how the gyroscopes are arranged.
What will be the effect should the electrical power that drives the gyroscopes give out at a critical moment, as, for instance, when the car is just crossing a gorge or river on a cable?
Our diagram 2, then, will represent one of Mr. Brennan's gyroscopes in action.
As the sole object of having two of the gyroscopes is to facilitate the going around curves, we may for the moment neglect the second one, and consider the action of only one of the pair.
But before we can understand how the two gyroscopes balance each other in such a way as to make the Brennan car lean in while passing about a curve, we must investigate more fully the action of the individual gyroscopes.
Moreover, the two linkedgyroscopes keep their planes of revolution parallel to the rail, as is essential to their proper action, and as a single gyroscope would not do.
Still there are gyroscopes and gyroscopes, as we shall see.
Atterbury had gone to the condenser room and was waiting for the order to start, while Burke was making the final adjustment of the gyroscopes which would put the Ring on its predetermined course.
A humming sound filled the air, and the gyroscopes slowly began to revolve.
As the swells sweep into the cave they compress the air therein and this compressed air is trapped in a reservoir.
It has been estimated that the water powers of the earth, if fully developed, would probably supply about half of the energy that we now get out of coal.
Thus an intermittent jet of water is forced into the air chamber and thence through a pipe to a reservoir.
Two sensitive gyroscopes are used to stabilize the aeroplane.
If a gust of wind tends to tilt the machine, the gyroscopes immediately sense the deviation and by closing electrical circuits operate the ailerons to bring the machine back to a horizontal plane.
While there sounded in our ears the hum of the gyroscopesfrom the car housed in the rear, I translated one paragraph for him.
Supposing the motor driving the gyroscopes broke down; what then?
By that time the patient ingenuity of inventors and engineers will have found the means to run the gyroscopes at a greater speed than is now possible, thus rendering it feasible to use a smaller wheel.
Struts were pulled into position to hold her up, the motors were switched off, and the gyroscopes were left to run themselves down in forty-eight hours or so.
They will not jolt over uneven places, or strain to mount the track at curves; in each one, the weariless gyroscopes will govern an unchanging equilibrium.
It was to the effect that one Brennan, an Englishman, had conducted experiments with gyroscopes ten years ago, but the matter had gone no further.
This resistance can be felt in a top; it can be felt much more strongly in the beautiful little gyroscopes of brass and steel that are sold for the scientific demonstration of the laws governing revolving bodies.
Two gyroscopes spinning in opposite directions are necessary to keep the car from falling when rounding a curve.
When the car starts to fall the spinning gyroscopes right it much as a spinning top rights itself if tipped to one side by a blow.
If the wind tips the car to the left the gyroscopes incline to the right until the car is again upright.
At this point, the plastic could be thought of as representing a few billion tiny gyroscopes all lined up together.
Matter of fact," he said in an aside, "if you want a better explanation of that effect, you might look up the maintenance manual on the proton gyroscopes that Sad Cow uses.
In his mind he pictured the tiny gyroscopes all brought into alignment by the interplay of magnetic forces; and around each proton the tiny, planetary electrons.
She thought a moment intently, and then answered: "It seems to me that the gyroscopes are slowing down.
On the particular occasion in question the gyroscopes broke down, thus crippling the plane as completely as if it had lost a wing, and so bringing it to the ground.
We couldn't carrygyroscopes heavy enough to counteract that force.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "gyroscopes" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
