BASIC GYRO (Compatibility Mode)

1) The document discusses gyroscopic effects on various vehicles (aircraft, boats, cars, motorcycles) as they turn or pitch/roll. Gyroscopic forces depend on factors like mass of rotating parts, radius of gyration, rotation speed and direction, and vehicle speed and turning radius. 2) Equations are provided to calculate gyroscopic torque from these factors to determine stability and reactions at bearings. 3) Examples are given of calculating gyroscopic torque for different vehicle maneuvers like turning, pitching, and rolling. Net reactions are determined accounting for gravitational, centrifugal, and gyroscopic forces.
