gyrator
One who rotates
A gyrator is something that gyrates—spins or revolves around a point or axis.
The word most often describes mechanical devices: a gyrator in a washing machine agitates clothes, while industrial gyrators sort or separate materials through circular motion.
In electronics, a gyrator is a circuit element that inverts impedance, making a capacitor behave like an inductor.
