Bike Wheel Experiment: Angular Momentum

Показать описание
What can a bike wheel teach us about rotational inertia? In this educational video, Museum Educator Jeannine stands on a turntable while applying force to a spinning bike wheel. Because the bike wheel has a high spin rate, it also has a lot of rotational inertia. This causes the bike wheel to push back against Jeannine, causing her to spin in the opposite direction on the turntable. This exciting science experiment is a great example of the conservation of angular momentum!

I believe that when you hold the bicycle wheel with its axis pointing in a horizontal direction and then impart angular momentum to the wheel by using the motor, because you don't have a viable axis through which to rotate about the horizontal axis, the torque will be reacted by imparting stress in your body(and also the turntable if you're standing on it). I'm thinking that if sufficient torque were applied, you would probably start rotating as well(about the feet pivot point), in the form of a summersault, or something to that effect.
