In this video you see a gyroscope built by me. You see me fiddle around with it. Later I explain the physics involved in gyroscope precession.
Gyroscopes have a wide range of uses, for example detecting change in direction.

    I'm glad you liked it. I think the video could be done better, but it is something.

  • Pudersepp, Thanks for your lucid explanation of precession. I need to teach this topic to high school kids who don't know any vector calculus., You've shown me how to explain it in English! Nice gyroscope, too. U da man!
