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

that is the reason for those 'autocorrecting' mechanisms

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 ??

Or you can fly in an airplane - as airplane flight is impossible on a ball that is rotating at 1600 kilometers per hour.

I watched a vid

the mechanism is for aerial manouvers, not the earth ball

I read somewhere - can't find it now, that the WWII gyros had to be readjusted by eye and had by pilot
