Laws of gyroscopes/ 3-axis gyroscope

Article No. P2131901

The momentum of inertia of the gyroscope is investigated by measuring the angular acceleration caused by torques of different known values. In this experiment, two of the axes of the gyroscope are fixed. The relationship between the precession frequency and the gyro-frequency of the gyroscope with 3 free axes is examined for torques of different values applied to the axis of rotation. If the axis of rotation of the force free gyroscope is slightly displaced, a nutation is induced. The nutation frequency will be investigated as a function of gyro frequency.

  • Long-lasting motion due to low friction
  • Slow rotation allows a comfortable measurement
  • Quickly establish equilibrium with the easy to adjust counterweight
  • Adjust the torque by adding additional weights
