Umqondo we-gimbal uqala ekuqaleni kwekhulu le-19, lapho indoda yaseNgilandi egama linguFrancis Westley yasungula “i-gimbal”, ibhola elenziwe ngezimbulunga ezintathu ezazingajikeleza ngokukhululeka kunoma iyiphi indlela. Kodwa-ke, lo mklamo wawungasetshenziswa kabanzi ngoba wawubiza kakhulu ukuwenza futhi ukungqubuzana phakathi kwezimbulunga kwenza ukunyakaza kungasheleli.
Kwaze kwaba sekuqaleni kwekhulu lama-20 lapho umsunguli waseMelika efika nomklamo omusha owawunamasondo amane, ngalinye linesondo elincane eliqonde endaweni yesondo, okuvumela yonke idivayisi ukuthi ihambe kunoma iyiphi indlela. Lo mklamo waziwa ngokuthi “i-Omni Wheel” futhi ungomunye wabanduleli besondo elijwayelekile.
Ngawo-1950, unjiniyela we-NASA uHarry Wickham wasungula isondo elingcono kakhulu eline-gimbal elalinama-disk amathathu, ngalinye linomugqa wamasondo amancane avumela lonke ithuluzi ukuthi lihambe liye kunoma iyiphi indlela. Lo mklamo waziwa ngokuthi “i-Wickham Wheel” futhi uyisisekelo se-gimbal yesimanje.
Ubuciko Besondo LaseWickham
Ngaphezu kwemikhakha yezimboni kanye neyamarobhothi, ama-gimbal nawo asetshenziswe abanye abaculi ngemizamo yokudala. Isibonelo, umdwebi wokudlala u-Ai Weiwei usebenzise ama-gimbal ezindaweni zakhe zobuciko. Umsebenzi wakhe othi “Vanuatu gimbal” uyi-gimbal enkulu enobubanzi obungamamitha amahlanu, okuvumela izilaleli ukuthi zihambe ngokukhululeka kuyo.
