Wikipedia is your friend and be theirs by making a donation when you read up on the anti rolling gyro. Velocity of ship and gyro are the state vectors tilting moment is the input and the angle of ship and gyro are defined as output vectors. It is in one way a sort of maritime rocket sciencethis type of gyroscopic stabilizer called a Control Moment Gyroscope is also used for spacecraft attitude control systems.

Table has some kind of sensor to detect its position and some kind of actuator in this case a gyroscope that can exert forces on the table. Answer 1 of 4. Gyroscopes are also popular among motor yachts.

The highlight of early ship gyro-stabilization was likely the installation of a Sperry gyro aboard the Italian luxury cruise ship Conto Di Savoia in 1932. But if youre on a cruise ship apparently billiards becomes a high tech affair as the table keeps itself level despite the rocking of the ship. Fixed fins and bilge keels do not move.
