CORRECTION: Bode Plots by Hand: Complex Poles or Zeros

I explain how to determine the straight-line estimate of the Bode Plot for a second order transfer function with a pair of complex poles. This video is a repeat of the last half of the Bode...

Gimbal Lock in reference to the Apollo missions

A gimbal is a pivoted support that permits rotation of an object about an axis. For this reason, a set of three axes gimbals are used in spacecrafts to help with orientation attitude control...
