"The gyroscope reveals astounding facts in relation to this philosophy, even when operated mechanically. No other known device is so nearly associated with sympathetic vibratory physics." [Keely, The Operation of the Vibratory Circuit, pre-1893]

Russell
"A slight readjustment of Nature's gyroscope will produce nitrogen instead of oxygen - or vice versa. Oxygen is nitrogen divided, and the polarity controlled electric gyroscope is the dividing instrument." [A New Concept Of the Universe, Chapter xxxxi (41,42) Pg.129]

A Physicist named Jean Bernard Leon Foucault invented the gimbaled spinning mass gyroscope in 1852. The gyroscope idea concept was developed and engineered into a precision gimbaled device by the Austrian inventory Ludwig Obry in 1895. The gyroscope became known as the Obry apparatus. The Obry apparatus became the first gyroscope to have a practical purpose when the Royal Navy in 1896 incorporated the gyroscope into the torpedo guidance control. Soon after large sea going vessels acquired development of the gyroscope for roll stability and navigation. By 1916 the newly formed Sperry Gyro Company had developed the first gyro autopilot for an aircraft. The evolution of the sophisticated Obry apparatus has made it into a reliable gyroscope. Without these remarkable gyroscopes safe flight through weather, space travel and even the satellites in orbit would be literally impossible. from https://www.nu-tekinc.com/gyro-history.html

In mechanics, the number of degrees of freedom is defined as the number of independent coordinates required to fully describe the motion of a system.
In mechanical systems, the number of degrees of freedom can be various and even infinite, depending on the complexity of the system and the number of its components.
When speaking of gyroscopes, we are referring to gyroscopes of a certain type, such as mechanical gyroscopes, in which the number of degrees of freedom is limited to six degrees in a holonomous mechanical system. The rotors of mechanical gyroscopes can rotate about one, two or three axes (pitch, roll and yaw) per cycle, and each of these axes has two degrees of freedom: one for rotation and one for movement along the axis. Although the number of rotational degrees of freedom in Gyro_6DoF is three, the additional three degrees of freedom only arise if we swap two of the three rotational axes of the rotor in vacuum. Thus, six degrees of freedom are required to fully describe the position and orientation of such a gyroscope. It should be noted that the motion of a gyroscope with the maximum number of degrees of freedom Gyro_6DoF is realized only if the whole structure overcomes gravitational forces. Nature itself points us to such a possibility. [Alex Isakov]

Two enormous gyroscopes being installed in the USS Henderson as a roll stabilizing system during its construction in April 1917 at the Philadelphia Navy Yard in World War 1.
The Henderson, a transport of 80 ton displacement, was the first large ship to be gyroscopically stabilized to prevent the ship from rolling from side to side with ocean swells.
The gyros, built by Sperry Rand, consist of two 25 ton, 9 ft diameter flywheels which during operation are spun at 1100 RPM in opposite directions by 75 HP AC electric motors.
Each gyro case is mounted on a vertical bearing which can be turned by a 75 HP servo motor. When a small sensor gyro on the ship's bridge sensed the ship roll, it ordered the servo motor to rotate the gyros about the vertical axis in a direction so the gyro's precession would oppose the ship's roll.
During trials they were able to keep the ship roll down to 3 degrees in the roughest seas.
This technology was replaced by roll stabilizer fins and is not used today.
