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 ...

A riderless bicycle can automatically steer itself so as to recover from falls. The common view is that this self-steering is caused by gyroscopic precession of the front wheel, or by the wheel ...

Since the dawn of the age of the automobile, motorheads have been obsessed with using as few wheels as possible. Not satisfied with the prospect of being incompletely maimed by a motorcycle, the ...

Apple is researching how to add gyroscopes to Apple AR headsets, giving continuous haptic feedback that will feel immersive. Virtual reality can show you anything it likes, but if you're not also ...

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 ...

Earth's axial precession is a gyroscopic wobble, analogous to a spinning top, causing its axis of rotation to trace a cone over time. The primary cause of Earth's precession is the gravitational ...

Apple has been granted a patent (number 11531398) for a “gyroscopic precision engine for a wearable device.” It involves the company’s rumored “RealityPro” extends reality (XR) headset. The patent ...

These Dartmouth College engineering students are battling scraped knees, one two-wheeler at a time. To help kids learn to ride a bike, the team placed a flywheel inside the front wheel of a 16-incher.
