Description
It is a model gyroscope which is put into motion by pulling a cord wrapped around its shaft. It can be mounted on a counter weighted arm, stood on a vertical pointed column, or on a sloping wire. All basic gyroscopic phenomena can be demonstrated convincingly with this simple equipment.
This equipment is part of a range designed to both demonstrate and experimentally confirm basic engineering principles. Great care has been given to each item so as to provide wide experimental scope without unduly complicating or compromising the design. Each piece of apparatus is self-contained and compact. Setting up time is minimal, and all measurements are made with the simplest possible instrumentation, so that the student involvement is purely with the engineering principles being taught. A complete instruction manual is provided describing the apparatus, its application, experimental procedure and typical test results.
