Gyroscopic Precession is Easier Than You Think!

Gyroscopic precession is actually quite easy to understand. This video will be an interactive break down of how gyroscopic precession works. I’ll talk about what a gyroscope is, angular momentum and torque. I’ll also work through some examples showing you an easy three-step process to determine how a gyroscope will behave. The concepts of angular momentum and torque will guide our understanding of gyroscopic precession.

I'm in pilot training, and had trouble understanding this concept. From all the explanations instructors gave me, and all of the training materials, and all of the videos, only your video cleared it up for me. Thank you, really. This is huge.

[jackanderson]

Did what my prof couldn't do in a semester in 15mins. Legend

I spent 1.5 hours on youtube trying to figure out precession and this video finally did it for me, THANK YOU

[peteredhouse]

I don't know how many years I've been trying to understand precession. But after watching this for 5 min I finally have! Thank you.

[AryanBhole]

Sir, I’ve watched dozens of of videos but nobody explained it as good as you did. Thank you very much for clearing my concept!

[avaritiabaritia]

My smol brane finally wrapped itself around this concept. Idek what to tell you. This method of teaching is just wow. Thanks a lot man.

[Thakur-vk]

This is the probably the best video on gyroscopic effect

[bhaskarnaithani]

I must say this...honesty, your way of explaining the concepts is simply extraordinary. Very nice.

[ethanepp]

I have watched my lecture from a pretty good physics school, the MIT youtube lectures, and several videos and I was still confused about this until now this was an incredible video.

[lezliebeans]

I had a really hard time finding an explanation for such behaviour, this video helped me properly understand what actually was going on there. I really hope this channel grows for the sake of all the physics students out there.

[Accusedbold]

Best explanation of Gyroscopic Precession I've heard yet.

[alaintownsend]

This is the best description of the precession effect I have found. All Paramotoring pilots will find it very helpful! Thank you.

[疏影横斜水清浅暗香浮]

This is more clearer than the videos that I have all watched! Thank you!!!

[shyamreza]

really love the idea of using lots of examples and ask the viewers to try themselves. It solidifies the understanding. Great work buddy. keep it up

[woodychelton]

wow this made perfect sense to me now. I really appreciated how you did a mix of intuitive visual explanations AND used physics vectors and terminology. Very good balance. Also the way you started off small and then worked up to more difficult problems and concluded with the wheel problem framed in a way that allows us to easily apply what we learned earlier in the video. This was masterfully done.

[michaelmangano]

This is the best explanation I’ve seen anywhere

[itsfrank]

I've watched many videos on this topic. This video should be highlighted in the search results for gyroscopic precession. Hats off to you sir.

[zoeshimizo]

I was on the verge of tears from this class, I'm so grateful for your video, thank you so much!

[elquebi]

Thank you very much. Find the direction of the two vectors then: "Angular momentum follows the torque." That clears up everything for me.

[mynoghra]

I spent so long trying to understand this concept. By the power of Veritasium, The physics girl, and your video, I finally understand precession! Thank you so much :D
