K'nex Gyroscope

Sorry guys, there is no way I am going to try to make instructions for this.

My k'nex creation.

And it seems like after I posted this a lot of people decided to do it as well. Great job guys but try to make it bigger and better, always improve on a previous design.

FAQ: It took me about a weekend or so to build. I didn't use instructions, just kept building and changing till it worked basically how I wanted. The wheels are counter-weighted so that as the axis changes it pulls the ring around but at the speed its going it has trouble keeping up on some of the rings.

why are there two motors?

[BelHambone]

one wasn't strong enough, even running both after awhile they would overheat

haha wow your video info makes you seem a little arrogant. good day sir.

[therealonethistime]

@brainiac125 You need a comma before "sir." If you are going to feign formality, you could at least do it properly.

I'd say this is more a gimbal setup than a gyroscope
