    These phenomena always intrigued me in my physics classes.

    This is why physicists don't wear ties.

    Once the precession is stopped, how much torque does it take to keep the precession stopped? When the precession is prevented and the gyro is falling down, is the rate of the fall affected by the angular momentum of the gyro?

    Can U make another one to show what happens when U (try to) turn a gyro/wheel, sideways, and what happens when U turn a fully gimbaled gyro thru full 360 degrees. I think U would need to color the gimbal halves and gyro sides differently and be able to show in which direction the gyro is spinning.
  • Me gusta pero quizás más especificación al momento de hablar de la adición de pesos

    When he showing yo his right side, but the text appear on his left instead. Did it intensional?
  • @curiouscat8396
    What do U mean by "If I try to spin it around this axis, I can raise or lower it"? If U are turning the vertical shaft, then why isn't the gyro precessing/turning? Why don't U show us what happens when U push the back end, of it, sideways.
