NTC-22.04.10 “Gyroscope”

The training laboratory system clearly demonstrates the operating principle of gyro compass. The axis of an electric motor holds its initial position during any movement of a base. With the help of a counterbalance, which is installed coaxially with the flywheel rotation axis, we can observe and investigate the phenomenon of gyroscopic precession under the applied forces moment, which can be easily measured by the change of the counterbalance motion pattern axially. The stand allows to observe the change of motion pattern under the forced rotation of external frame, and experience the occurence and the effect of gyroscopic moment. The stand provides the possibility to conduct the experiment on gyroscope precession speed determination.
