== == DEFINITION: MicroElectroMechanical Systems (MEMS) technology enables the creation of tiny machines that can work with microelectronics. MEMS also refers to the machines themselves, which add very small sensors and actuators that allow microchip-controlled systems to sense and control their environments.

They are also referred to as micromechanics or micromachines - can refer to both the technology and the specific devices, which range from a micrometer to a millimeter in size. Smaller devices are called NanoElectroMechanical Systems (NEMS) or simply Nanotechnology. MEMS and NEMS operate using the principles of mechanics in tiny versions of the classical simple machines (inclined plane, wheel and axle, lever, pulley and screw). Today, MEMS refers to almost any miniaturized device, regardless of whether it's based on silicon technology or traditional precision engineering.

Are there any MEMS gyro compass?

There are compass systems using MEMS. MEMS means micro electromechanical systems. The MEMS compass system uses a vibrating structure gyroscope to operate. Most MEMS inertial navigation systems have integrated GPS. The very sophisticated ones are independent to prevent jamming, they use computers and an accelerometer as well as a MEMS gyroscope to operate.

Why are non members on fantage mean?

Well, nons are so mean on Fantage because they are jealous of mems, and they are also mean because they start rumors that mems are mean just for people to hate mems and not become one! One time I said mems vs nons my plccccc, and I asked who goes for nons, and all the nons but one screamed MEMS ARE MEAN!!! So they are just jealous of mems from how much stuff they have and how much fun they have. I claim that any non that starts the mems are mean rumor, should be reported or banned for Fantage for a hour!
