2. Demonstration of a beautiful brass victorian gyroscope. Explains briefly how mass can be measured. A demonstration of angle of friction. Importance of not defining laws/rules that restrict understanding.
Oh my, these happen to be the best releases currently! The russian federal government entirely opened up to public three hundred reports! Check them out at ufosecretXnet (replace X with . )
Eric was a lovely guy and did some brilliant work on electromagnetic levitation, leading to Maglev trains, in the 60s when I met him at Imperial College, London.
Sadly, he made a wrong turn with gyros (pardon the pun) and made himself look a little foolish in later life. Pity, but that's humans for you.
This is the same guy who gave a royal institution lecture, and then gave a similar although slightly simplified lecture for the royal institution Christmas lecture designed for children, the original lecture he gave was deleted rather than published. Although he was a well respected ELECTRICAL engineer gyroscopes come under Mechanical Engineering and the as a 3rd year student studing Mechanical Engineering I can tell you it is just a case of CONSERVATION OF ANGULAR MOMENTUM.
I deduce that you have never picked up a physics textbook! One of the most fundamental laws of classical mechanics is that linear and rotational momenta are separately conserved. Unfortunately, rotational momentum is often poorly defined in mechanics textbooks; thus causing confusion. One of Laithwaite's publications showed that he had indeed based his ideas upon such a poor textbook explanation. Being an engineer, rather than a physicist, he did not check the facts very carefully.
infinity? do those block weigh INFINITY kilograms??? ta fuck you talkin about you idiot

Atleast clarify why you are blasting this guy in every video.What exactly is flawed in his theory?

"None of it, he endlessly reminds us, is supposed to disprove orthodox science."
So that is why he later told journalists that he was going to build an antigravity machine?
