I could never get the hang of gyroscopes.
The spinning part I mean.
There was a U shaped grip at the base of the device which balanced on things. There may have even been a special stand that came with the gyroscope for this purpose. Not sure.
By far the trickiest manoeuvre was getting the spinning devil to balance on taught string.
I can hear the de de de of the Mission Impossible theme tune already!
How did you get on with gyroscopes?
About as well as I did studying the mathematics of angular momentum vectors for them when doing my degree!
ReplyDeleteI love gyroscopes, or to put a different spin on things, tops. Uve got loads of them, which fascinated me along with prisms and magnets. Still do!
