Gyrator (microwave device)
A microwave gyrator is a passive, non-reciprocal two-port ferrite device producing a 180-degree differential phase shift, defined by Bernard Tellegen in 1948 and first realized by C. L. Hogan at Bell Labs in 1952.
Gyratory crusher
A gyratory crusher is a compression-type rock crusher with a conical head gyrating inside a fixed cone, used as the primary crusher in high-capacity mines, crushing thousands of tonnes per hour.
Gyre
Gyre (Mark Steere, 2015) is a two-player hexagonal-board connection game where players win by surrounding the center cell with a loop of stones the opponent cannot encircle; draws are impossible and the pie rule balances the first move.
Gyrfalcon
Gyrfalcon (Falco rusticolus), the world's largest falcon, an Arctic circumpolar raptor hunting mainly ptarmigan, nesting on cliffs; IUCN Least Concern, CITES Appendix I, population about 70,000, threatened mainly by climate change.

Gyrochronology
Gyrochronology is the technique of estimating a star's age from its rotation period, exploiting the steady spin-down caused by magnetized winds; it works best for young to middle-aged stars.
Gyrocompass
A gyrocompass, also called a gyroscopic compass, is a non-magnetic navigational instrument that uses a fast-spinning gyroscope and Earth's rotation to find true north automatically, replacing magnetic compasses on large ships.
Gyrodactylosis
Gyrodactylosis, or salmon fluke disease, is infection by Gyrodactylus salaris, a viviparous monogenean flatworm killing Atlantic salmon fry; introduced to Norway from Sweden in 1975, found in 54 rivers, controlled by rotenone.
Gyrodactylus salaris
Gyrodactylus salaris, the salmon parasite (lakseparasitten), is a viviparous monogenean flatworm from the Baltic region that eats the skin of Atlantic salmon parr; introduced to Norway in 1975, it devastated wild salmon but is now nearly eradicated by rotenone and chlorine treatment.
Gyrodyne
A gyrodyne is a hybrid rotorcraft that hovers with engine-driven rotors and cruises in autorotation, between helicopter and autogiro, first flown as the Fairey Gyrodyne in 1947.
Gyroid lattice infill
Gyroid lattice infill is a 3D printing infill pattern based on the gyroid minimal surface, offering near-isotropic strength, continuous toolpaths with few retractions, and use in implants and aerospace.
Gyrojet
The Gyrojet pistol and carbine, made by MB Associates of San Ramon, California, fired self-propelled miniature rockets; about 1,900 were built between 1962 and 1972, and none won a military contract.
Gyrokinetic simulation codes
Gyrokinetic simulation codes are large-scale programs that solve the nonlinear gyrokinetic equations to predict microturbulence and heat transport in tokamaks and stellarators, including ITER-scale plasmas.
Gyrokinetics
Gyrokinetics is a low-frequency expansion of plasma kinetic theory that averages out rapid cyclotron motion, the standard framework for studying turbulence in magnetized fusion plasmas.
Gyromagnetic ratio
The gyromagnetic ratio, or magnetogyric ratio, is the ratio of a particle's magnetic moment to its angular momentum, setting its spin precession rate in a magnetic field.
