This video covers relevant to the topics covered in the question below

In this experiment, we will study the law of conversion of angular momentum. It states that:
In the absence of an external torque, the total angular momentum is conserved or the total angular momentum of an isolated system remains constant both in magnitude and direction.
For this experiment, we will need the rope and wheel.Through this experiment, we will study how the tyre moves in the clockwise direction.
Firstly, we will tie the rope with the axis of the wheel. Then we will tie the rope with some fixed point and the tire will be placed fixed in the air. And after that we will spin the tire from left to right. The tire will keep on moving without falling down and it will move in the clockwise direction. And when we spin the tire from right to left. The tyre will keep on moving without falling down in an anti-clockwise direction. And all these motions of the tyre are due to the law of conversion of angular momentum. And this experiment proves that the total angular momentum of an isolated system remains constant both in magnitude and direction.
