Now you’re the test pilot!
YOU WILL NEED
› Gyroscope
› Wheels with gears
› 6 anchor pins
› Various-sized rods from the kit box
› 3 x AAA baeries
› Watch or clock
HERE’S HOW
1. Insert the baeries as indicated inside the gyroscope’s
baery compartments.
2. Firmly mount the wheels with gears on the boom of
the gyroscope, and switch the gyroscope on.
3. The disk inside will start to spin. Hold the gyroscope
tightly in its upright position, and wait about 20
seconds.
4. Can your model balance itself and drive across the
table top?
5. Switch the gyroscope back off, wait until the disk is no
longer spinning, and insert two anchor pins into the
holes on the right or left side at the top of the gyroscope.
6. Aach a couple of rods to the anchor pins so the bars
stick out to one side.
7. Switch the gyroscope on again and let it run. Can it still
keep its balance?
WHAT’S HAPPENING
If the bars are projecting out on one side, it shifts
the center of gravity toward that side. When you
do that, it may be too difficult for your gyroscope
to compensate for this shift, and it won’t be able
to stay balanced on two wheels for very long.
DID YOU KNOW ?
A flight simulator replicates a flight in
an airplane or space ship. That lets
the pilots train for hazardous
situations while landing or taking off
without harming themselves or the
vehicle. The simulator can move like a
real airplane, while the pilots watch
an image of their surroundings
generated by a computer.
With the flight simulator that you build,
it is important that all of the components
project equally from the gyroscope. Only then can
it balance properly and roll down the runway just
like a real plane.
LET’S GO
