Project of gyroscope?
Answer:
Gyroscopes have been around for a long time. There are also lots of different kinds of gyroscopes. Aircraft use directional gyros for their gyrocompass, to tell direction of the aircraft. They also use vertical gyros to maintain a vertical reference for the artificial horizon. These are typically mechanical gyros that have a spinning mass that resists a change in alignment of the axis of spin.
There are also Laser ring gyros. These are extremely precise gyros used mainly in ballistic missile guidance systems.
Lastly, and most affordably, is the newest family of gyros - The MEMS gyros. These are micro machines (solid state) machines on a chip that are available. These are typically available as a rate gyro. If you are looking to determine the rate of rotation of an object, then this is what you want. The mems gyros have a lot of drift, so generally, they are no good for long term directionality, however, augmented with accellerometers and a compass, they should be able to be compensated enough to use for long term direction as well.
So, you want to come up with something new relating to gyros?
How about a frictionless spinning mass gyro? (Magnetic bearings in a vacuum.)
I know that they are used in the inertial guidance system of a rocket, and to steady large ships.
Could they play a part in a computer gaming control: accelerometer?!
