Cruise Ship Gyroscope

Cell phones use a gyroscope airplanes have about a dozen in things from its compass to autopilot.

The highlight of early ship gyro-stabilization was likely the installation of a Sperry gyro aboard the Italian luxury cruise ship Conto Di Savoia in 1932.

The World War I transport USS Henderson completed in 1917 was the first large ship with gyro stabilizers. Fixed fins and bilge keels do not move. From the video description.

It has been done since 1917 but the capability is limited and requires minimum rotor weights of 3 of the vesses displacement. Cabin choices also come into affect for eliminating sea sickness. Velocity of ship and gyro are the state vectors tilting moment is the input and the angle of ship and gyro are defined as output vectors.

Ship stabilizers or stabilisers are fins or rotors mounted beneath the waterline and emerging laterally from the hull to reduce a ships roll due to wind or waves. But if youre on a cruise ship apparently billiards becomes a high tech affair as the table keeps itself level despite the rocking of the ship. And a yo-yos spinning motion gives it gyroscopic stability.

Modern cruise ships carry a gyro compass and a magnetic compass. It is a non-magnetic compass oriented parallel to the axis of rotation of the earth and thus indicates the north-south direction. Gyroscopes are also popular among motor yachts.
