gyrocompass
  • güroskoopseade laeva kursi ja peilingute määramiseks. G-i töö põhineb 3 vabadusastmega güroskoobi omaduste ja Maa ööpäevase pöörlemise kasutamisel.
  • a gyroscope, electrically rotated, controlled and damped either by gravity or electrically so that the spin axis settles in the meridian
  • a compass having one or more gyroscopes as the directive element(s), and which is north seeking. Its operation depends upon four natural phenomena, including gyroscopic inertia, gyroscopic precession, the earth’s rotation, and gravity.

vurrkompass preferred
  • kompass, mis põhineb kiiresti pöörleval kettal ja Maa (või mõne muu planeedikeha, kui seda kasutatakse mujal universumis) pöörlemisel, et leida automaatselt geograafiline suund
  • vurrseadmega kompass, millega on võimalik mõõta laeva kurssi geograafilise meridiaani suhtes
  • mõõteseade astronoomilise põhja (tõelise põhja) kindlaksmääramiseks vurrmõõtevahendi abil
  • compass which is based on a fast-spinning disc and the rotation of the Earth (or another planetary body if used elsewhere in the universe) to find geographical direction automatically
  • device to determine astronomic north (true north) by means of gyroscope
vurrkompass preferred
Usage examples
  • Vurrkompassi kasutatakse veesõiduki suuna mõõtmiseks ja tal on oluline eelis magnetiliste kompasside ees, mille tõttu teda kasutatakse laialdaselt laevade navigeerimiseks.
gürokompass
Good to know
  • Võõrsõna, moodustudes kreeka ja itaalia keele elementidest.
gyrocompass
Usage examples
  • A gyrocompass makes use of one of the seven fundamental ways to determine the heading of a vehicle, and is widely used for navigation on ships, because they have two significant advantages over magnetic compasses.
