Abstract
MM. W. DE FONVIELLE and D. Lontin described to the Paris Academy last week a magnetic gyroscope, the object of which is to give a movement of rotation to movable pieces of soft iron of various forms. M. de Fonvielle is at present in London with the apparatus, from which some very curious results have been obtained. We hope to give a full account of the invention, with illustrations, in our next number.
