@Newscat ZA 5 minutes of reading on the gyroscope discussion was enough to make me stop and think.
ok, then when I've time, I'll have a look
ok, name one point of the gyroscope
the things I've seen about gyroscope doesn't disprove sphere
the whole point of a gyro is that the level doesn't change
once rotating
you can test that at ground level, gravity doesn't influence it
I only do game development as a hobby, but could certainly try and do it lol, I'll see what i can put together as a fun experiment.
those gyroscopes autocorrect
which ones?
a spinning top?
@Sheamus yes do it! 😄
the aeroplane ones
that they always mention in this example
the ones they used in 1940?
those had to be corrected by pilot
@Sheamus Already done. Flat Earth - Heliocentric Model Examined Geometrically Part 1 - AutoCAD. https://youtu.be/yS_zF1V-pgE
they have to be reseated if they fall over
remember even radical aeroplane movement disrupts it
yup
@Newscat ZA Did you just say air"plane"? 😃
@Deejay from Earth yeah but can you put in VR goggles and fly around like superman? 🤔
if we could 'autocorrect' why have a gyro at all?
so you know where the ground is lol
😃
so like when the ground below you curves what happens ? a gyro keeps a dead level
Yup, the gyroscope tells the pilot the attitude etc of the aircraft relative to the plane of the earth
@rob this shows gyroscope correcting mechanism: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kTXTCqMHyhg
"level" means a horizontal plane to the perpendicular of the centre of the earth (relative to your position)
The first patent for a pendulous vanes system was filed in 1941 by the inventor Frederick D. Braddon,
this is my argument
I want experiments that I can verify
appeal to authority doesn't work
hand wave we have the technology therefore that's wrong doesn't wash anymore
Yup. Crowdfund a heading indicator?
we don't need capital
just better experiments
oh yeah rob good point - but see that's why the gyroscope arguments are useless either way
how did they fly in WWII ??
