    how to pull a spin,,,

    try use a air blower so fast and hard from air compressor

  • of what order does this witchcraft derive!?

  • gyro's r good nearly the perpetual movement

  • interesting! Solution of Stability.

  • Eric laithwaite would be proud!

  • This happens to be the ORIGINAL Pew-36 Explosive Space Modulator

  • wow you do a lot of machining.

  • Ok am I the only one here not to find this interesting?

    "heredownunder"

    This is the best video on youtube by far! vote now.

    What? picking up a metal stic kand watching something turn? I can see the worlds largest bong instead of watching that.

  • arent gyroscopes suposed to be pointing at one point all the time, this thing is spinning around and landing at a different point

  • They do but this one has the handle attached and its that which is making it go round.

  • what happens is that the wheel of the gyro is spining very fast(you cant see that) the center of mass of this gyro is very very close to the center of the wheel due to the stick. the torque that graviry exerts ob the c.m couses a very small precession

  • Its spinning because of precession, where when a gyro rotates it exerts a force 90 degrees later (or 90 degrees from the direction of the first force). Which in this case is the rotating.

  • Can you email me a link to the math behind this?

  • look it up at : "Classical Mechanics, Herbert Goldstein"

  • This is the best video on YouTube by far! Vote now.

  • Nicely done! The video is excellent and demonstrative. I love the fact that there's no talking. Seems like most experimenters like to hear themselves talk instead of just showing their invention in action. Thanks for posting such a high-quality video.

  • I like a good explanation, if you want silence hit mute on your keyboard.

  • Lol i don't get it ether, searching for your other videos to understand it.

  • Why own one? Why not? As far as their uses, They're used in many applications where something is needed to be held "rigid in space". Aircraft instruments, gimballed instruments, used in boats/ships. They tend to resist movement around them and therefore remain steady. Look up gyroscopic precession or aircraft instruments. Pretty cool.

  • Gyroscopic precession is the tendency for a spinning object to resist movement out of it's plane of rotation until a point approx 90 deg after the force is applied. In the case of this demonstration, the force applied is gravity's effect on the long bar. It's pulling downward and because of gyroscopic precession, it rotates in a direction approx 90 deg later.

  • why does gyroscpe defies newtons gravity laws?

  • Conservation of angular momentum. It does not in any way defy the laws of gravity--past a certain equilibrium point it will fall.

  • i dont understand the reason to own one, can somebody explain is use?

  • they use these in tank turrets

  • Alrite but not that kl, if u wanna c some kl gyros buy a powerball

  • i don;t get it neighter lolz

  • Have a look at the other videos and you may understand. The brass disk is spinning at high speed.

    This causes it to "precess" which turns the hole structure round slowly.

  • I don't get it

  • What starts it running?

  • An electric motor
