Put 12 of these at 45 degrees around the perimeter of a large disc. Put the unit on a scale and weigh it.

Now spin all 12 and spin the large disc while on a scale. See any changes?

You are welcome. It is time.

Can someone explain what I am seeing. I'm not sure what is so great about this?

[tiaxanderson]

@BGleaves123 Seems no one took the time to explain it or didn't think they could explain it properly. I'll do my best.

The concept of a gyroscope is based on the preservation of angular momentum. To keep it really simple, because the disc is spinning it wants to resist outside forces. Because it's tilted this force is gravity. What happens is the force of angular momentum starts to align with the force of gravity, but it can't go down, so it goes sideways, making it spin. (I hope this explains)

Does it turn faster with a disc of larger diameter?

[gyroscopes]

no larger disks require more energy.

[leuquim]

If you provide it? And if it's of a smaller mass?
