Gyroscopes

Gyroscopes a peice of eletronics designed around the fact that the earth is infact round and spins. They do no require magnetic lines what so ever to indicate north. The use the centrivical force of the earth spinning to indicate "true north" So if the earth is indeed flat how do these work, which they do, in our planes and ships.

The earth does not rotate.

Like the Focault Pendulum, the weights of the gyroscope are attracted by the minute gravitation of the stars which spin overhead. The gyroscope proves that the stars have gravitation, are quite near to the earth as predicted by Flat Earth Theory, and make one full rotation per twenty four hours.

To further prove that the gravitation of the stars is felt here on earth we simply have to look at the recorded modifications of g at various altitudes.

Like the Focault Pendulum, the weights of the gyroscope are attracted by the minute gravitation of the stars which spin overhead at one rotation per twenty four hours.

So tell us the mechanism of this minute gravitation. Should we be noticing gravitons around our gyroscope? Oh, how do the star know which direction we're going to stay aligned?

this might sound wierd, but what about frisbees? They follow a similar principle as gyroscopes, but it is exhibited in a fashion that can hardly be blamed as celestial.

Furthermore, if gravitation of stars causes objects to indicate north, why doesn't standing a pencil with a flat eraser and watching its direction always indicate the same direction as gyroscopes?

For some background research.

What?  Gyroscopes don't even require electricity.

What do they run on then..Love! A gyroscope used as a navigational aid, ie to indicate true north, needs to be spun by a motor before it can align. Obviously u fail as the engineer. Unless you are thinking of the silly gyros you buy from the toy store

Welcome to the Smug-a-thon. TheEngineer is just baiting you. You're smart enough to know that useful gyroscopes use electricity. He's just saying that there exists at least one (toy) gyroscope that doesn't. Feel free to ignore him and more on with the real debate.

Hmm, the gyroscope in my airplane uses no electricity.  Well, it does have a light up dial, but that's not quite the same thing.

so what is the energy source? or does yours use perpetual motion?

Air. 

Air. 

Ahem. Air is not an energy source. Pressurized air, yes. Moving air, yes. Air, no.

Air.

But feel free to play all the word games you want to, TomG.

Hey! TheEngineer has solved all our energy problems, folks. That's right. He's found that the very air itself is a useful energy source. No need for moving it, like in harnessing the wind. No more need to have a pressure differential, like in harnessing compressed air or a vacuum. Not at all.

Air! Air! Air! The free energy source right where you are. No more need to import oil. No more need to mine coal. No more power plants.

No worries about smog. No dangerous combustibles in your car.

Just ask TheEngineer, the mechanical engineer, how to start using your air today!

I guess those windmills in the fields aren't working then.

You do understand the difference between wind and air, don't you? Perhaps, you should cut and paste some definitions for you to read.

in his defense i did ask for the source, but it is sad that the engineers gyroscope only points north when it is moving with enough velocity to move it

You do understand the difference between wind and air, don't you? Perhaps, you should cut and paste some definitions for you to read.

"Wind is the flow of air."
Air is - "a mixture of nitrogen, oxygen, and minute amounts of other gases that surrounds the earth and forms its atmosphere."

Unless you are making the claim that air is stationary, I don't see the issue.

My gyroscope only points north when I tell it to.  And it's not the air rushing past the aircraft that powers it.

TheEngineer claims that "air", not the "flow of air" is an energy source. Yes, air can most certainly be stationary.

    I bought a gyroscope at the NASA Space station in Houston when I was in 5th grade.  Granted it was a toy, but it had a string that you put through a hole and you would wrap it around the axis. When you pulled the string the center began to spin making the gyroscope stand upright like a top would. 

    This is a perfect example of how the center of the Earth works.  By the center spinning, the outside spins as well.  This is a great example of how gravity works: A central force pulling objects to the center creates gravity and with the Earth's atmosphere spinning the opposite direction, stabilizes it. 

    Earth's Electromagnetic field is the reason we have storms and why all objects on Earth are charged either negatively or positively.   

And all you FE'ers out there, you can debate me all you want, you are entitled to your own theory.  I'm just simply saying that according to RE theory, that explains why gyroscopes are important and how gravity works in this model.

I thought gravity worked by mass bending spacetime.  Other things traveling through spacetime follow their geodesics ("straight" lines in a curved system) towards the center of the Earth...

What's worse...that explanation or dogplatter saying that penguins were created by humans in the 60's?

Your explanation and dogplatter's assertion are rather close in the "cah-razy!" category.  Yours doesn't require a conspiracy though, so I'd rate yours above his.

yea...that'll be the last time i pull a "TOM" ..i'll do a lil more research so it doesn't seem like something i pulled out of my ass

So if this is the case then how do you explain the fact that the stars in the night sky change with the seasons?

The gyroscope the engineer is speaking of is a heading indicator, which can be controlled electrically or by a vacuum pump driven by an engine... and love
