Super Precision Gyroscope 14 - from gyroscope.com

The Super Precision Gyroscope is a completely new gyroscope, designed from scratch and precision-built to extremely high standards. Made from solid brass and aluminium, it runs on miniature high-grade bearings. Tests have shown it runs almost silently for up to 7 minutes (allowing about 4 minutes of useful experiment time).

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

[gyroscopes]

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

[goldfishteller]

i don;t get it neighter lolz

[gyroscopes]

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.

What starts it running?

[gyroscopes]

An electric motor

how to pull a spin,,,

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

[RobSellsTacos]

of what order does this witchcraft derive!?

[pepemackenzie]

gyro's r good nearly the perpetual movement

[fussspura]

interesting! Solution of Stability.

[1Pintye]

Eric laithwaite would be proud!

[DancingSpiderman]

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

[Curly7714]

wow you do a lot of machining.

[gaarakillsall3]

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.

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.

[sufumato]

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
