Differential flatness is the Furuta pendulum property that is exploited. The main idea is to translate a linear state feedback control design problem into a scenario, where classical tools such as ...

In this paper, the primary energy dissipation mechanisms in a dynamically balanced Dual Foucault Pendulum (DFP) gyroscope are identified and characterized experimentally. A Q-factor over one million ...

Abstract The Foucault pendulum is a physical apparatus that shows the Earth’s rotation through the variation of the plane of oscillation over time. The main physical agent responsible for this ...

The French physicist Léon Foucault (1819 - 1868) in 1851 could prove with the help of a long string pendulum (Foucault pendulum) and a fixed mass of the Earth's rotation in a pendulum experiment for ...
