most of a bicycle wheel's mass is concentrated along the wheel's rim, rather than at the center, and this causes a larger angular momentum at a given speed. Angular momentum is characterized by both size and direction.The bicycle wheel, you, and the chair comprise a system that obeys the principle of conservation of angular momentum. This means that any change in angular momentum within the system must be accompanied by an equal and opposite change, so the net effect is zero.
Isn't this something to do with the energy exerted on the x-axis? It's like twirling a key chain on your finger, except the weight is distributed evenly in 360 degrees.
@dannyyuwu To make it simple, spinning a bicycle wheel in this setup creates an angular momentum that creates a force that always points towards the rope at any given point, making the wheel do this circular movement around the rope.
Its just a big gyroscope?

Take all honors and APs in high school, get a 5.0 GPA, 2400 on the SAT, get into MIT.
Watch wheel spin on string.

We did this in school when I was like 8 years old, I thought people knew this kind of stuff, and now MIT is leaving you breathless doing it?

sit in a rotating chair and do the same with the wheel vertically in your hands and see what happens
