D4-04: BICYCLE WHEEL GYROSCOPE ON ROPE
Additional Info
- ID Code: D4-04
- Purpose: Illustrate gyroscopic precession in a surprising way.
-
Description:
Spin the wheel, then hang it from the end of the rope with the rope vertical and the wheel axle in a horizontal orientation. It will precess with the rope remaining vertical.
