Description:
Gyroscopic Stabilizer
Specification:
Gyroscopic Stabilizer -Ever wondered what keeps the enormous ships of today from rolling? Our
brand-new device demonstrates an unusually practical application of
angular momentum. The sturdy ABS "ship" (8 x 8") has two runners that
allow it to rock easily. The included gyroscope has a 3- 1/2" plastic
rim and a heavy metal wheel (2" diameter) mounted on a low-friction
shaft. The gyroscope can be set spinning and positioned to either
enhance or dampen the roll of the "ship".
The effect can be quantified by counting the number of rolls with
and without the active gyroscope. Includes ship and gyroscope. With
instructions.
