[edit] Summary
A gyroscope in operation. With three axes of freedom, a gyro will maintain its spin axis regardless of the orientation of the outer frame, although when any two frames are coplanar a degree of freedom is lost, causing a state called "gimbal lock" which can prevent correct operation.
Rendered in POV-Ray.
