Important Setup Notes:
One of the three of our MITAC gyroscopes does not allow the outer ring to rotate around the vertical axis.
It takes a few seconds for the flywheel to get up to speed.
Setup and Procedure:
- Place the MITAC gyroscope on the table and unlock all the retaining screws that hold the rings in place.
- Plug it in to a 110v outlet.
- Weights can be added to either end of the Axle "arrow" (ie. Axes of rotation)to show precession and nutation.
Cautions, Warnings, or Safety Concerns:
- Keep fingers away from the moving parts of the gyroscope while it is running.
Discussion:
Discuss the physics behind the demonstration, explaining some of the various steps of the demonstration when appropriate.
