What is the gyroscopic
effect?
YOU WILL NEED
› Gyroscope
› 3 x AAA baeries
› Watch or clock
HERE’S HOW
1. Open the cover on the underside of the gyroscope. That’s
how you get to the baery compartments.
2. Insert the baeries as indicated inside the baery
compartments.
3. Replace the cover and switch on the gyroscope.
4. The disk inside will start to spin. Hold the gyroscope
firmly in its upright position and wait for the disk to
reach its maximum speed. It will take about 20
seconds.
5. Now try carefully tilting the gyroscope a lile to one
side — first a lile to the left, then a lile to the right.
WHAT’S HAPPENING
Do you feel the force that makes it so difficult to
tip the gyroscope? What you’re experiencing is
something called the gyroscopic effect. It arises
when an object (the disk, in this case) spins very
rapidly. The force you feel when you tip the
gyroscope is trying to maintain the disk’s axis
of rotation.
DID YOU KNOW ?
This effect is also at play when you tilt a bicycle
while entering a curve. Of course, if you were to tip
the bicycle to the side when the wheels were not
turning, you would simply fall over.
Build your own gyrobot. It will be able
to keep its balance as long as the gyroscope’s
disk is spinning.
