Mgamerz's Awesome Liquid Gyroscope!

Now I know you think this is a lame video before you click it. It may be... but! This gyroscope is the win! It can spin for like 3 minutes! And it feels weird when you hold it cause you can't twist it normally. Even typing after holding it is kinda weird.
If you have a chance to get one of these, they are great!
(They also make great sick jokes to pull on a girl... Hehe... Don't follow my stupid advice guys until I try it tomorrow)
I didn't make this btw. It says Mgamerz's cause I own it so it is in my posession... so yeah.

[wadyati1]

you spin my head

[Mgamerz]

@wadyati1 RIGHT ROUND

[nathan82206]

No, i'm pretty sure it's not a gyroscope. Gyroscopes have at least one pair of intersecting axises. this only has a "Y'' axis. This is just a pinning top with fluid in it which expands to the rims of the inside because of centripetal force.

[Mgamerz]

@nathan82206 this is either: a) a great argument, which I cannot deny, or b) a total BS which I cannot tell the difference from the truth, which leads me back to argument A. kudos.

id you have to balance it, then it isn't a gyroscope ... is it?

wait wait wait...

now this is getting confusing...

gyroscopes don't need you to balance them!

they do it on their own!

so its not a gyroscope!

(correct me if i'm wrong)

[Mgamerz]

@tjrana0 It balances itself.

[qtxyz]

it would be more eficient if you have a way to directly spin the liquid.

@Mgamerz No, nathan's right, it is just the centripetal force. Still good a demonstration. :D

@nathan82206 A gyroscope is any spinning object (including a top). The most efficient gyroscopes are wheel-like with it's mass concentrated about it's perimeter (like a bicycle tire or a flywheel). In any case, there is only one axis of rotation. In this case, the the fluid is pushed to the perimeter by "centrifugal" force and provides the mass, but does not assume nor maintain the speed of rotation and therefore is very inefficient. Centripetal force is provided only by the container.

[miketacoma5]

@tjrana0  You are wrong. It just isn't a very efficient gyroscope.

0:13 nice nostril buddy

[ArtemisFour]

This is the effect of gravity..

[nettec]

I especially liked the view up your nostril
