Name: Bicycle Wheel Gyroscope Category: Mechanics Subcategory: Rotational Dynamics Classes: PHYS 101/105, Astro |
|
Comments: A large bicycle wheel attached to a rope which is spun to high speed by a modified drill demonstrates that angular momentum keeps the system from falling over and leads to gyration. (Note: The tire spinner is missing, so we may need to rig something else up for the time being) |
