Discover the incredible journey of gyroscopes in transforming navigation and the aerospace industry. From historic sea voyages to the cutting-edge technology in modern aviation and space exploration, this video unveils the fascinating evolution of gyroscopes. Dive into the origins with HMS Victory's tragic loss and John Serson's pioneering work, to the groundbreaking inventions of Bohnenberger, Johnson, and Foucault. Explore the fundamental principles of gyroscopes, their role in the development of gyrocompasses by Anschütz-Kaempfe, and their critical application in early 20th-century aviation and warfare technologies. Learn about the vital transition during World War II to sophisticated inertial navigation systems (INS) and their pivotal role in rocketry, especially in the German V2 and American Atlas rockets. Understand the mechanics of INS, the challenge of drift, and the advancements in computing that led to its refinement. Discover how the aviation industry embraced INS, from the B-52's N-6 system to the Delco Carousel in commercial aviation. Witness the emergence of new gyroscopic technologies like ring laser and fiber-optic gyroscopes, and their integration with GPS for unprecedented navigational accuracy. Explore the latest advancements in Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) and their widespread application in consumer electronics. Finally, envision the future of gyroscopes in enhancing virtual reality, autonomous vehicles, and motion-based user interfaces. This comprehensive overview not only traces the history but also forecasts the exciting future of gyroscopes in our increasingly digital and interconnected world.

So this is how the missle knows where it is from where it was, or where it should be from where it wasn't..

This video had my head in a spin

I have to say that I began to research the subject of inertial navigation in a little project of parachute piloting three years ago, and I continued research. I have never seen such a good, concise, well explained and well illustrated video. Thanks a lot. Also, the coriolis effect based gyroscopes often works by vibrating a mass in an axis, and measuring tge vibration in the perpendicular axis (caused, from an external pov, by the rotation of the device, that ruins the alignment). It's become open knowledge that tge new breakthrough might be hemispheric resonator gyroscopes (currently in development by SAFRAN) : as in Foucault's experiment, a pendulum keeps it's oscillation plane, thus giving the impression to turn as the earth rotates. The idea is to deform a piezzoelectric dome in a direction, it will keep this direction of oscillations, given that you excite it in the correct way to compensate energy losses. It's the same physical principle behind as coriolis gyroscopes, but the coriolis ones needs a level of integration which leads to quick drift

Gold medal production, visual quality, timing, and narration and data content are all excellent. Would you please cover all subjects so I don't get stuck watching sub-standard productions? Thank you!

Very good summary of a very complicated and COUNTERINTUITIVE subject. I first studied gyroscopic precession as a crew chief on helicopters in the U.S. Army. The physical design of the helicopter's control system is built with this physics property in mind. Since the rotor system of a helicopter is constantly spinning, when you input a force into that system it effectively appears at a different point in the spinning plane of the rotor from where it is input. It's hard to describe but basically the lift created by adjusting the pitch of each rotor blade actually APPEARS 90 degrees BEFORE Where you think it would! You would think that to tilt the rotor disc forward to go forward right? Nope! Because the force appears in the system 90 degrees BEFORE Where the force is applied, the position of the blades when the disc is tilting forward is as follows: the blade with MAXIMUM pitch in it is pointing straight to the left and the one with the least pitch in in is pointing straight to the right. You would think this would make the rotor disc tilt to the right... But thanks to gyroscopic precession, it makes the rotor disc tilt forward. Crazy, but true. Great video.

I regulary service the STD-22 Anschutz gyros on ships. Really reliable.
-
it's amazing how many of these technologies we carry in our pockets daily. It'd be cool for you to make a video specifically about the evolution and utilization of engineering and sensor on mobile devices. It'd be really interesting to see how it all works from this point of view

The Obry torpedo used gyroscopic guidance from 1895 on. The V1 rockets were basically guided torpedos that flew.

Great video! Very informative, educational and entertaining, keep up the good work ❤
-
I didn't know laser gyroscopes existed, really cool almost completely solid state solution.
-
That Inertial Measurement Unit spinning around is so satisfying
-
Excellent video! As a now-retired surveyor, I find the use of gyroscopes fascinating. I've never used a gyrotheodolite but sure wish that I had one (they are QUITE expensive).
-
Great video as always. However, slight correction at 11:55. You mentioned that the gyroscopes can drift because they are closed loop, meaning there is no external reference/correction. This actually describes an open-loop configuration. Keep up the good work.

Great Video! Keep up the good work! More Tech deep dives please!
-
I learn so much in your videos ty ty ty! I like how our interests in ee and defense industry overlap more and more on this channel
-
Incredibly well researched and informative video!
-
Your deep dive videos are always fascinating
-
Thank you for posting and sharing!
