What is the maximum, safe rpm this gyro can operate at?

[gyroscopes]

@monkriddler Its very much at your own risk after 5000rpm. I run it at 10,000rpm but there is losts of energy in the disk. It won't stop if it comes out of the gimbals.e.g. it would go through a brick wall.

[jtjjbannie]

Where can I get one, and how much?

This would be a great chrismas gift to myself!

[G4homeonline]

I have one!

[MrArmyman444]

oooooooow the humming of the gyroscope get me excited lol

[MenTaLLyMenTaL]

@author, Plz tell the direction of rotation of the disc. At 1:40, when viewed from left, is the disc rotating CW or CCW?

[weetnietgeen]

that is sooooooo weird... =D

[serpadu]

1:38 at 2:10 = start jet engine sound!

[Zoloft61]

I want one! can't wait to play with it

[redumbrellaman]

I'm not sure why, but this gyroscope thing fascinates me big time

[weissenberger25]

year that´s very well

[AquaFight]

how much does this cost?

[crazystufffff]

£450

[AceMgy]

Man, I want this gyro so badly now. 20 minutes of spin time! That would do nicely on my desk.

Oh, yeah and I could use it in the physics presentation later this year too... :P

[b0dhran]

I really enjoyed seeing this video ! I'm very

fascinated with gyroscopes ! I wish I had one

attached to my digital video camera !

Thanks for making this awesome video !

[mapkyce]

AWESOME that was 4:17 acutally doing nothin!!!

5 stars!

[bertanderny]

What are the gyroscope's with several revolving rings around them (quite like this one)? I think its a gyroscope. There usually in offices.

[N37BU6]

Wow, I just noticed your username and profile. I'll subscribe now... ;)

[N37BU6]

That's beautiful.

It's too bad you can't apply the torque at the axle, because you could get it spinning much faster.

[ethosproductionsinc]

very interesting! my only suggestion would be to not put your arms right in front of the camera when you're putting the locks on and off, as we can't see what you're doing! :)

[waragainstgreed]

though ive never purchased one of your products, i thank you as an aware human for having these videos available to watch. one impressed can watch and if they do not understand they can LEARN and figure it out. curiosity is the only true teacher as its students learn and not be taught. your tinkering with machines and apparent engineering skills give us hope more than most realize. If there be saints, may you be among them.

[amazula]

WELL SAID, well said indeed!

[goweb172]

Nicely put

[G1Martins]

pip pip..cheerio

[LordInksworth]

That was probably THE very best comment I've ever read on YouTube. Nice.

[worktoget]

I assume this is an actual product demonstration?  It would be much, much more effective with a proper cameraman in order to manipulate angles and film the demonstrator. As it is, the video is fairly monotonous since the viewer barely notices it spinning.

[gyroscopes]

Without putting some for of marker on it and quite hard to see anyway. As for cameramen, well can't afford those. You'll have to put up with me for a while.

[worktoget]

I see. I was thinking of just having a third person to shoot at different angles, though :)

[gyroscopes]

Thats easy to do. I try and get round to doing that.

[Volynyanka]

sounds like a plane luanching

[ashwinisidhu]

Hi

Would you be able to show the principle of powerballs and how do they generate so much power..

thanks

[gyroscopes]

I will do when I have time.

[ChaseWatkins]

Does anyone know if there is a cheaper gyroscope like this one anywhere?

[gyroscopes]

There isn't. But there a few others that cost more. This was designed to be cheaper than those ones and yet be better in almst all aspects.

[Ldawgity]

I've been reading on Joseph Newman, and not to comment on him, but I wonder if you see a parallel to the way gyros react to applied force and the electromagnetic right- or left-hand rules? I'm tryin' to see the parallel if any.

[AquaFight]

electromagnetism is simetrical. you can actually use both a right a left rule as long as you use them twice. the gyroscope is also symetrical, it just happens to be spinning in a certain way.

[Ldawgity]

I'm reading a little on Joseph Newman, and not to comment on him, but do you see a parallel to the electromagnetic right- and left-hand rules and gyros reaction to applied force?

[blackspace007]

There's got to be a way that could used as a alternative source of energy. Kind of the way hydropower from those dams or windmill,like a windmill but so much stronger.

[1uckycharms]

its cool how it starts up but thats about it lol, sorry

[GregtheVet]

I know it might be nigh on impossible to get the weight distribution right, but have you considered inducing a turbulent boundary layer by using a pitted surface (like a golf ball) on the curved outer face to reduce drag?

[gyroscopes]

Yes but as you can imagine cost would go up quite a but yet the performance would only improve a little. Would be easier to put it in a vaccum.

[RoadRunnerLaser]

Nice demo. Beautifully made brass instrument that even my old friend would be impressed with (He used to like making things on his lathe from - steam engines and various other interesting gizmos).

Could you have transferred the friction wheel to the spindle for even more RPM once you'd spun it up so far ??

[gyroscopes]

yep you can do that. It spins for ages then.

[kidsdell]

Great

[theA320pilot]

good demo on precession...

[Aeryk333]

Runs quite long. Excellent bearings there.

[cptstubing]

fromLT, they are measuring space time frame dragging. Look up the experiment "Gravity Probe"

[fromLT]

cool. i've heard about gyroscopes in space shuttle. for what point?

[gyroscopes]

lookup CMG gyroscopes on google. You see a number of things about gyroscopes being used to control the directional while in space. The space station and hubble had a number of CMG gyroscopes that failed.

[Finkdog2004]

How much does a gyroscope like that cost?

[bendejonge]

Man, that electric drill sounds like a heleicopter turbine spinning up! The gyro is nice and quiet though. But I thought that a gyro was to stay put whatever the base was doing, or am I mistaken?

[gyroscopes]

Its does, but you have to have gimbals like shown. If I picked it up by the base and walked round the round it would continue pointing the same way

[perikoguevara789]

wft?!?!i dont get it?!?!

[gyroscopes]

I suggest you have a look at some of my other gyroscope videos. You may understand what going on then. If you still don't understand (some people never get it until they hold one) then I suggest you buy a cheap toy gyroscope.

[perikoguevara789]

ok

[dews124]

what the hell was that?! you did not even make it spin!!

[gyroscopes]

It was spinning. Maybe as high as 10,000rpm. What makes you think it wasn't spinning?

[censoredmunky]

he probably just didnt see it... its just very hard to see because its solid... I would suggest making one with holes in it...

[HartfordTommy]

a perforated rotor would cause more air drag and a lower spin time.
