Analysis Of Rotary Motion: As Applied To The Gyroscope (1887)

By John Gross Barnard

Book Overview

""Analysis of Rotary Motion: As Applied to the Gyroscope"" is a book written by John Gross Barnard in 1887. The book explores the principles of rotary motion and how they apply to the gyroscope, a device used for measuring and maintaining orientation. Barnard provides a detailed analysis of the gyroscopic effect, which occurs when a spinning object is subjected to external forces. He explains how this effect can be used to stabilize and control aircraft, ships, and other vehicles. The book also includes a thorough description of the construction and operation of various types of gyroscopes, including the wheel, pendulum, and disc gyroscope. Barnard discusses the advantages and disadvantages of each type and provides practical examples of their use. Overall, ""Analysis of Rotary Motion: As Applied to the Gyroscope"" is a comprehensive guide to the principles of gyroscopic motion and their practical applications. It is a valuable resource for engineers, physicists, and anyone interested in the science of motion and control.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
