GYROSCOPE

Bench top apparatus for experiments in gyroscopic couple and velocities of rotor and precision.

A base unit supports a gimbal frame, holding a gyroscope assembly that spins and precesses under a clear dome. The rotor of an electric motor shares a horizontally supported shaft with a flywheel, forming the gyroscope. A second electric motor turns a belt that turns a turntable under the gyroscope, causing precession about a vertical axis. Learn about GYROSCOPE specifications for optimal educational outcomes.. Both motors work in clockwise and anticlockwise rotation and with variable velocity. Sensors measure the rotational velocity of the rotor and precession.

This allows calculation of the torque or 'gyroscopic couple'. Learn about GYROSCOPE equipment for optimal educational outcomes.. The clear dome includes an interlock that shuts off power to the motors. This allows students to see the gyroscope and use it in safety while still giving them access to examine the mechanism.
