Abstract

This paper describes a Gyroscope balancing device which is gravity operated. The device is mounted at the base of the gyroscopes which are installed in the aircrafts. The device is for vertical gyroscopes. When the aircraft turns or heads upwards or downwards an error is introduced in the gyroscopes, as the base of the gyroscopes get inclined. In order to reduce this error, the inventions has four rectangular compartments in which metallic balls are placed which slide to the other end when the planes inclines in a particular direction and activate a touch switch which magnetizes the magnet at the opposite end which pull a disc mounted on a ball socket joint placed at the center of the four compartments, and on this disc the gyroscope is mounted. As the disc is attracted by a magnet it inclines in that direction which is opposite to the inclination of the aircraft and therefore keeps the gyroscope straight.
