When it comes to hobby rotorcraft, it almost seems like the more rotors, the better. Quadcopters, hexacopters, and octocopters we’ve seen, and there’s probably a dodecacopter buzzing around out there ...
Gyroscopes are one of those physics phenomena that are a means to many ends, but can also enjoyed as a fascinating object in their own right. Case and point being [Hyperspace Pirate]’s ...
I do like stabiliser projects - whether Murata unicyclists or self-balancing tightrope walkers - and here's a "Stabiliser Zonai Device". We're talking DC motors and gyroscopic precession... Thanks to ...
Toy gyroscopes can do all kinds of interesting tricks. The most mysterious one, precession, seems to defy gravity. By definition, precession refers to a change in the orientation of the rotational ...
