Gimbal in the context of "Emmanuel Lubezki"

Gerolamo Cardano (Italian: [dʒeˈrɔːlamo karˈdaːno]; also Girolamo or Geronimo; French: Jérôme Cardan; Latin: Hieronymus Cardanus; 24 September 1501– 21 September 1576) was an Italian polymath whose interests and proficiencies ranged through those of mathematician, physician, biologist, physicist, chemist, astrologer, astronomer, philosopher, music theorist, writer, and gambler. He became one of the most influential mathematicians of the Renaissance and one of the key figures in the foundation of probability; he introduced the binomial coefficients and the binomial theorem in the Western world. He wrote more than 200 works on science.

Cardano partially invented and described several mechanical devices including the combination lock, the gimbal consisting of three concentric rings allowing a supported compass or gyroscope to rotate freely, and the Cardan shaft with universal joints, which allows the transmission of rotary motion at various angles and is used in vehicles to this day. He made significant contributions to hypocycloids - published in De proportionibus, in 1570. The generating circles of these hypocycloids, later named "Cardano circles" or "cardanic circles", were used for the construction of the first high-speed printing presses.

A windsport is any type of sport which involves wind-power, often involving a non-rigid airfoil such as a sail or a power kite. The activities can be land-based, on snow, on ice or on water. Windsport activity may be regulated in some countries by aviation/maritime authorities if they are likely to interfere with other activities. Local authorities may also regulate activity in certain areas, especially on crowded beaches and parks.

• Ice boating - using a masted sail attached to a vessel with skates
• Kite boating - sailing a boat in displacement or planing mode using a kite
• Kite landboarding - using a power kite with a wheeled board while standing
• Kite buggy - using a wheeled buggy with seats attached to a power kite
• Kite flying - flight of a small airfoil by a standing ground operator using 1-4 flying lines
• Kite skating - as for kite jumping but while using specialized skates
• Kite surfing - using a surfboard attached to a power kite
• Land sailing - a masted sail attached to a land vehicle - see also land yacht
• Sailing - navigating a boat with sail attached to a mast
• Snowkiting - skiing/snowboarding under the power of a kite
• Windsurfing - sailing using a masted sail attached via a gimbal to a surfboard
• Wing foiling or wingsurfing is a surface watersport where a rider uses a lightweight wing on a surf board with a hydrofoil.
