At that point, Mike remembered, the electron itself would be spinning, a lighter-weight gyroscope, much as Earth has a lighter weight than the Sun. The electron, too, had a magnetic field; more powerful than the proton's field because of its higher rate of spin, despite its lighter mass. The electron could also be lined up.
"From now on the gyroscope stabilizer will be known as the Vardon-Hamilton, and some additional patents I contemplate taking out will be in our joint names." "Thanks," said Dick, "but I'll accept only on one condition." "What is that?" "It is that no money from this invention comes to me. If I win the twenty thousand dollar prize I'll be content."
We can camp out, or, if we had to, we could sleep in the boat. I'm going to put a canopy on it and arrange some bunks. It will do you good and perhaps new ideas for your gyroscope may come to you after a rest." "Perhaps they will, Tom. I am certainly tired enough to need a vacation. It's very kind of you to think of me in connection with your boat.
Far from yielding to me, it actually rose on the side I was pressing down! The men who were watching me laughed at the puzzled look on my face. I took my hands off, and the gyroscope leisurely and nonchalantly went back to its original position. "That's the property we use, applied to the rudder and the ailerons those flat planes between the large main planes.
"Boy," exclaimed Craig, "has Cdr. Norton a telephone?" "No, sir, only that hangar at the end has a telephone." "Well, you run across that field as fast as your legs can carry you and tell him if he values his life not to do it." "Not to do what, sir?" "Don't stand there, youngster. Run! Tell him not to fly with that gyroscope. There's a five-spot in it if you get over there before he starts."
Vardon is also building my airship. It will contain his gyroscope." "A gyroscope!" cried the former officer. "You are very foolish! You will come to grief with that. The only safe form is the mercury tube, of which I am the inventor." At that moment Vardon himself, who wished to consult Dick on some point, came into the room, not knowing a caller was there.
It doesn't amount to anything, though I'm sorry now I didn't take my father's advice and bring the gyroscope rudder along. It would have acted automatically to have prevented this. Now, Mr. Earle, we'll see what's to be done." All night long they worked, but when morning came, as told by the clocks, they were still in jeopardy. And then a new peril confronted them!
"But you evidently considered my gyroscope such a good joke that you tried to spoil it." "I! What do you mean? You shall answer for that!" cried the former lieutenant, in an unnecessarily dramatic manner. "I think you know what I mean," replied Vardon, coolly. "I need not go into details.
To eyes new from the electric illumination of the hold, the blackness was positive, with the palpable quality of an element, relieved alone by the dull glow of the binnacle housing the gyroscope telltale, from which the faintest of golden reflections struck back to pick out a pair of seemingly severed fists gripping the handles of the bridge steering wheel with a singular effect of desperation.
Experiments with the monorail car, which is equipped with a gyroscope to hold it in a vertical position, show that when the car approaches a curve the car will lean inwardly, exactly the same as a bird, or a cyclist, and when a straight stretch is reached, it will again straighten up.
