In this video I go over the gyrocompass and show how it is used to find True North by aligning itself with the Earth's rotation, thus debunking Flat Earth. A gyrocompass is just a gyroscope that is forced to remain horizontal on the Earth's surface, such as by adding compensator weights to the sides. Since a gyroscope wants to maintain its orientation when spun up, then as the Earth rotates, the gyrocompass will also want to maintain orientation but to do so it will have to lift the compensator weights. Gravity acts upon the compensator weights thus inducing precession in the gyrocompass such that it will move until it aligns with Earth's rotation. Once it aligns with Earth's rotation, there will be no more induced torque, thus no induced precession. This also means that the gyrocompass will be pointing to the True North Pole. Gyrocompasses have applications in ships and planes, especially where there are areas of magnetic compass interference, such as nearby metal or magnetic mines as in during World War 2.

I demonstrate the principle of the gyrocompass with a handheld gimbled gyroscope as well as showing a WW2 gyrocompass tutorial as well as showing factory and testing footage. The gyrocompass is an incredible engineering feet with very delicate construction, design, and rigorous testing. It also has a "phantom ring" that electronically detects the gyrocompass rotation and gradually rotates with the string that is holding up the gyrocompass. This is to prevent the string from getting tangled up and thus inducing a reverse torque to the gyrocompass. In my opinion, the gyrocompass is irrefutable evidence for Earth's rotation and is one of the best pieces of evidence against a Flat Earth. I will be going over more debunking Flat Earth videos so stay tuned!
