Show HN: I made Gyroscopic Gyro Sandwiches

109 pointsby transistor-man5 months ago
Have you noticed that a gyro sandwich is only cooked in one axis? What a missed opportunity.<p>The following details an elaborate way to slow cook food, using a handmade contraption. Not only is it tasty, it&#x27;s mesmerizing. Feel free to copy the design for your own festivities.

Have you noticed that a gyro sandwich is only cooked in one axis?<p>I built a contraption to slow cook in multiple axes and documented it here:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;transistor-man.com&#x2F;gyroscopic_gyros.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;transistor-man.com&#x2F;gyroscopic_gyros.html</a><p>Not only is it tasty, it&#x27;s mesmerizing to watch. Feel free to copy the design for your own festivities.

Sadly for the title, I think the word you were looking for is &quot;gimbal,&quot; not &quot;gyroscope.&quot; A gyro rotates stably on a single axis. Your cooker &quot;tumbles&quot; on three axes at once. A gyroscope specifically <i>prevents</i> tumbling.

Does it actually work? Watching the video[0] it seems like the same end of the gyros keeps being pointed upwards&#x2F;downwards.<p>I suppose it&#x27;s difficult to balance the slab of meat perfectly.<p>Anyway, it&#x27;s hilarious! Thanks for sharing.<p>[0] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;transistor-man.com&#x2F;PhotoSet&#x2F;three_axis_gyro&#x2F;animated&#x2F;party1.mp4" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;transistor-man.com&#x2F;PhotoSet&#x2F;three_axis_gyro&#x2F;animated...</a>

it&#x27;s all fun until someone gets gimbal lock?
