Description

Import of our company
Compatible with the curriculum
It is a visual educational material used to explain the working principle of gyroscopes used in many guided systems
Our well-balanced product has adjustable bearings
Thanks to free-spinning bearings, it can spin for more than two minutes by pulling the accelerator rope
Circular protection discs on the axis prevent the accelerator rope from getting stuck in the bearings
Gyroscope mounted on gimbal
The solid metal rotor weighing 175 grams has a moment of inertia of approximately 2 x 10-5 kgm2
Available in two pedestal sets
A 60cm acceleration rope wrapped in a plastic handle is also included in the set
Product sizes:
– White ring diameter: 8.6cm
– Black ring diameter: 5.5cm
– Diameter of pedestals: 10.5cm
– Acceleration rope: 60cm
The gyroscope, the main element of the set, is a metal ring with a diameter of 6cm and a thickness of 1cm and is mounted on a steel axis with a diameter of 0.5cm and a length of 7cm. There are holes near the ends of the axis for attaching the acceleration rope. The gyroscope axis is held in two plastic tapered roller bearings screwed into the ring surrounding the gyroscope. Additionally, the set includes two bases with holders that can be used to test the behavior of a gyroscope in rotation. One of the bases allows the gyroscope placed inside it to rotate around a vertical axis, while the other allows it to tilt sideways.
Application:

To accelerate the gyroscope, pass 1cm of the rope attached to a plastic handle in the set through one of the holes on the axis of the gyroscope. Turn the gyroscope wheel and wrap the entire rope around the axis. While holding the white ring around the gyroscope in one hand, hold the rope with your other hand and unwind the rope with a determined movement, giving angular acceleration to the gyroscope ring.
To demonstrate the response of an accelerated gyroscope to external torques, insert the white ring from the metal pins on its sides into the holders on the base. For example, a tilted pedestal can be used to demonstrate the stabilizing effect of a gyroscope. When the gyroscope axis is horizontal (parallel to the axis of rotation when the mount is tilted) nothing can block the tilt. When the gyroscope axis is vertical, any deviation of the base will cause the entire gyroscope to rotate in the opposite direction. This phenomenon is used to reduce fluctuations on ships, for example
