I ahu mai te ariā o te gimbal i te tīmatanga o te rautau 19, i te wā i hangaia ai e tētahi tangata Ingarihi ko Francis Westley te "gimbal", he pōro i hangaia ki ngā porowhita e toru ka taea te huri noa i ngā taha katoa. Heoi, kāore i whakamahia whānuitia tēnei hoahoa nā te mea he nui te utu ki te hanga, ā, nā te waku i waenganui i ngā porowhita i kore ai e maeneene te nekehanga.
Nō te tīmatanga o te rautau 20 ka puta mai tētahi kaihanga o Amerika me tētahi hoahoa hou, e whā ngā wira, he wira iti kei ia wira e tū tika ana ki te papa o te wira, e āhei ai te taputapu katoa ki te neke ki tētahi ahunga. E mōhiotia ana tēnei hoahoa ko te "Wira Omni" ā, ko tētahi o ngā mua o te wira ao whānui.
I ngā tau 1950, i hangaia e te miihini NASA, e Harry Wickham, tētahi wira gimbal pai ake, he toru ngā kōpae, he rarangi wira iti kei ia kōpae, e āhei ai te taputapu katoa ki te neke ki tētahi taha. I mōhiotia tēnei hoahoa ko te "Wickham Wheel" ā, koinei te pūtake o te gimbal hou.
Te Toi o te Wickham Wheel
Haunga ngā mara ahumahi me te hangarau karetao, kua whakamahia hoki ngā gimbal e ētahi kaitoi mō ngā mahi auaha. Hei tauira, kua whakamahia e te tohunga toi a Ai Weiwei ngā gimbal i roto i ana whakaaturanga toi. Ko tana mahi "Vanuatu gimbal" he gimbal nui e rima mita te whānui, e taea ai e te hunga mātakitaki te neke haere noa i runga.
