Approximately 7” x 5” x 5” with a brass rotor, 6cm in diameter
Demonstrates principles of angular momentum
This is an excellent, inexpensive apparatus for experiments in precession, inertial guidance, and gyroscopic stabilisationThe gyroscope is mounted on a gimbal cradle
A solid block and a rocker are supplied for supporting the gimbal cradle
The sturdy gyroscope has a brass rotor, 6cm in diameter
The rotor is dynamically balanced to within 0.5g
Its steel shaft has polished bearing surfaces and adjustable teflon bearings that will allow it to run three times as long as gyroscopes with conventional cone bearings
