Pro Tip 1/3Technical Device
Used mostly in technical contexts like navigation, robotics, or smartphones.
Engineers integrated a gyroscope for advanced navigation capabilities in the vehicle.
Pro Tip 2/3Physical Principle
Refers to a physical principle, which might be briefly explained if relevant in the conversation.
The gyroscope works on the conservation of angular momentum principle.
Pro Tip 3/3Precision Importance
Implies high precision and control, often important in the context it's used.
To stabilize the camera, we need a gyroscope that reacts to movement accurately.

Because when the government says that a family like Ella's costs a quarter of a million pounds a year to manage, what it really means is that this system costs a quarter of a million pounds a year. Because not one penny of this money actually touches Ella's family in a way that makes a difference. Instead, the system is just like this costly gyroscope

So the question How does something that is not touching anything know where it is? The answer is that right in the middle of it, it has something that, to my great disappointment, isn't a raw egg, but basically does the same job. It's got gyroscopes which are spinning, and because of the law of conservation of angular momentum,
