People have been asking about the cool gyroscope in the video. The person who made it for me sells them here: https://physicshack.com/product/advanced-gyro/
So a downward force pulling toward the center of the earth so mighty and strong that velcros countless tons ocean water to a convex surface, handles this little spinning toy with kid's gloves.
That makes no sense. I guess the spinning toy is stronger than the downward pulling force keeping countless tons of ocean water conforming to a sphere. I guess also a single human being is capable of lifting up any weight in tons less than countless tons of ocean water velcroed to a convex surface. After all we're not smashed into the earth's surface in a puddle of guts, blood and flattened tissue.
Yep gravity! It's magic, not science!
Do you mean that the gyroscope will fall down when it is not allowed to precess, but will stand upright when the rotational speed is increased?
I've been looking for this exact explanation for the gyroscope for YEARS!! Thank you so much for creating this video explaining the effect of the gyroscope external forces 🙌❤❤❤ wasn't able to get this explanation anywhere else 😢
The real question is where did the centripetal force go? You'll notice that as the gyroscope on the string is precessing, the string remains completely still, yet all the mass should be at the gyroscope (that string should be wiggling everywhere but it doesn't). The center of mass looks like it is at the center of the string. I find this an amazing effect that is almost entirely overlooked.
Very interesting. How well does it work in the ideal case of NO friction on the spinning bearing? Specifically I'm referring to powered gyroscopes, like used in airplanes' artificial horizon in decades past, or the Apollo capsule gyros. Is there a difference between a powered gyro that overcomes friction, and one with theoretically perfect bearings with no friction?
Please Can you do anti gravity machine
A gyroscope is a beautiful instrument that has always fascinated me, especially the large ones that resemble a bicycle wheel. There seems be some inherent connection with Mach's Principle.
I like the rule, give it a push and comes right up. Stop it, and it falls back down.
So bikes are a gyroscope and so are spinning tops
Wait but if the spinning slows down, wont the precession become more dramatic because there is less velocity that offsets the g force
How about gyroscope in space with zero gravity ?
Would be interesting to see
After getting a gyroscope today, I said to myself, This is exactly the kind of thing the Action Lab would make a video on. And you have! Thank you! Alway love your in-depth explanations.
Probability. it is everywhere: Probability: beeing in the middle is the most probable because it has the exact same reason to be at the left side or right side or any side… only exception is the middle.probability summs up in the middle.
I think gravity and spin are two sides of the same coin
Drinking game
Procession or any variation of that
I wish I could see gyroscopic principles applied to a bowling ball. Modern bowling balls have a “weight block” inside them. The weight block or core has the shape of a gyroscope. Ball drillers specialize in placing the finger holes of the ball so that the degree of precessing initiated at the point of the bowler’s releasing of the ball advantages the bowler’s chances of scoring a strike.
I have watched many videos by ball drillers. But their explanations of the physics tends toward the mystical.
Good, now could you explain the physics? In mathematical terms. It must be to do with transfer of energy between the spinning top, the processing top and the potential energy (the height of the centre of gravity), with energy being lost through bearing friction and air resistance.
So are you saying that it's not the energy of the rotating gyroscope that is used in Precession, but the static force of gravity (since in perfect frictionless conditions it would not keep getting lower)?
Now I'm intrigued but not enlightened 😅
What if a giroscope is spinning on another spining giroscope?
Everytime Isiah Pacheco gets the ball
I think this ability of gyroscopes to flip themselves up could be used to stand up the lunar lander which fell over.
Angular momentum?
Why cant you use power to keep it spinning? a motor?
OK, can we beyblade with that? I'd be unstoppable.
Even without friction between the gyroscope and the string, the string would twist enough that the precession slows ,felling the gyroscope
Can you also show that the increase in GPE is equal to the decrease in RKE?
