ID Code: D4-06
Purpose: Demonstrate gyroscopic motion and forces.
Description: The gyroscope, in gimbal rings, is driven by an electric motor to allow continuous use. Weights can be added to cause precession. Pushing on the various rings creates concomitant change of orientation of the gyroscope. What might happen if a magnet is held close to the rotating metallic flywheel?
