New Book On Gyroscopes

Gyroscopes - An Introduction
for Students, Engineers and Pilots
Preface
This book was written as a response to a lack of publications offering easily
understandable information on gyroscopes. This book aims to fill the gap
between dictionary definitions and the all too often highly mathematical
books on gyroscopes. With the aid of illustrations you will be shown the
principles of gyroscopes including precession and nutation, where and
how gyroscopes are used, practical mathematical examples and some
of the history of gyroscopes. It will also dispel some of the myths and
misunderstandings associated with gyroscopes and discuss the taboo
subject of gyroscopic propulsion.
Many students will not have come across a gyroscope before and the
initial concepts can seem daunting. This book will try to guide you through
this process and give you a good foundation.
Who is the book for ?
This book will be useful for trainee pilots becoming accustomed to gyroscopes.
Physics teachers and students looking for teaching material on gyroscopes,
nutation and precession. Engineers wanting to calculate basic gyroscopic
forces will be able to use the book as a reference, practical examples and
illustrations will guide you through this process.
