So I understand how precession works, and that gimbals are used to isolate the gyro from outside rotation, however when a yawing motion is applied to the gyro, it'll essentially translate to a rolling (horizontal) motion on the gimbal to turn the indicator.
Since the gyro maintains its plane of rotation, would it be acceptable to say that if I applied force to a gyro, the precession from the gyro would be displayed on the gimbal not the gyro, since it has to maintain its plane of rotation?
To summarize, I'm just wondering how a gyro's precession affects the gimbals or how it affects the instrument if it doesn't affect the gimbals.
Thank you!
