How Do Gyroscopes Lift Themselves Up?

I show you on odd phenomenon that occurs in certain situations with a gyroscope.

If he was my teacher, I'd never skip his class.

For years, my father was convinced that he could invent a "ufo" (now called drones) with gyroscopes because he noticed that his prototype actually lost a little bit of weight, when placed on a scale. He also believed the earth was flat, among other things, and died claiming all science was bullshit...

Who else wants to know where we can get this awesome gyroscope

[DANGJOS]

This was fascinating! However, it's definitely one of those I'll have to watch again and think about to really grasp it.

Gyro experiments are one of the bests. It does so many thing unexpected and it’s just interesting to play with it. Perception, self correction, persists direction without any friction (except on axis), direction and speed of perception in different situation, holding a gyro on a spinning chair, alter rotation inertia during rotation, and so on. All these can be easily explained by angular momentum, but still counter-intuitive nature of it makes it amazing.

I was a little disappointed you didn't put it in the vacuum chamber, but I think I remember you doing a similar experiment in an earlier video. The time increase wasn't significant.

[zzstoner]

The gyroscope was indeed awesome. During the video I was wondering... where could I get one like that... and then... realize it may have been hand-made.

[Impatient_Ape]

Yeah, I didn't learn about the full dynamics of how gyroscopes work until my "Classial Mechanics" course in grad school. Undergrad only really spends about 10-15 minutes of class time talking about how the precession is the result of a torque = dL/dt. Good job.

If he was my physics teacher in high school, I'd already discovered the 5th dimension. Seriously, this channel teaches me more than the 18 years of study in High School and Colleges❤

[perjohanaxell]

I would have loved a little bit deeper explanation of the forces involved in this. Especially since its so counterintuitive.

[jamesjohnston]

Using superconducting magnetic coupling alongside a gyroscope could produce some really interesting effects

[vishalpatil-fyot]

I want a science teacher like this man. Every one want.😍🥰🤩 u r video's so much. Long ago subscriber.

[jacobspaulding]

I love your content never stop being how you are now. Your amazing and I wish I had a teacher like you.

Gyroscope: *I'm spinning.*
Helikopter: *Hold my Fan.*

[dragonveeryt]

Fun fact; You found the action lab randomly and watch him regularly 😂😂😂

[pergt]

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 😢

[yaka]

I love this and i really pleased you have commented on the fact this isnt well taught! its an area of great interest to me in my current project and i hope i can share my results with you in the future. thankyou for another great demo

[sethchapman]

that is by far the coolest gyroscope I have ever seen.

[spiderdude]

It’s crazy to think that in no uncertain terms, this is exactly what the earth does in space, just on a massive scale. In fact the act of procession will move the location of the Celestial North Pole over thousands of years. In fact in about 50, 000 years, the North Star will no longer be Polaris, but the much brighter star “Vega” in the constellation Lyra

0:55 putting a piece of tape on the top would make it more clear that it's spinning if it needs balanced put two piece on at exactly parallel points. you could also use a sharpie to do the same thing but the tape would allow you to take it off.
