merci michel , les gyros sont vraiment des appareils geniaux , leur conception m'epate toujours , un grand merci pour le partage c'est a chaque fois un vrais plaisir.
Sorry for that, the camera with macro lens was very close to the gyro during the recording and I use my PC in mono only so I cannot check the sound balance. I have to invest in PC speakers!
I have torn down a similar version of this gyro back in the 1980's. I believe the gimbals are a hollowed out Magnesium alloy with a sealed gas plenum to facilitate buoyancy. The floatation fluid is likely a Hydrofluorocarbon of a high density.

Thank you as always for your fantastic work! The sound seems a bit weird though, like one audio channel is very low / not properly balanced.

This guy is seriously amazing.Thanks man
It spins! Congrats Michel.
