Gyroball The gyroball is the name given to a breaking baseball pitch purported to be used by players in Japan, although if it were invented in the United States it would probably be called a sinker. The pitch was developed by two Japanese scientists, Ryutaro Himeno and Kazushi Tezuka, who used computer simulations to create a new style of delivery intended to reduce stress on the pitcher.
Gyrocar A gyrocar is a two-wheeled automobile. The difference between a bicycle or motorcycle and a gyrocar is that in a bike, dynamic balance is provided by the rider, and in some cases by the geometry and mass distribution of the bike itself.
Gyrodyne QH-50 The QH-50, better known as the DASH for Drone Anti-Submarine Helicopter, was a small, drone helicopter built by Gyrodyne for use as a long-range anti-submarine weapon on ships that would otherwise be too small to operate a full-sized helicopter. It remained in production until 1969.
Gyrodynes and Heliplanes A Gyrodyne is a heavier-than-air aircraft with a rotor system that is normally driven by its engine for takeoff, hovering and landing like a helicopter, but which also has an additional propulsion system that is independent of the rotor system. At higher speeds, the rotor system acts similar to that of an autogyro, no longer driving the aircraft but simply providing lift.
