Description
The apparatus is used for studying relationship between gyroscopic torque, rotor speed and rate of precession. The equipment consists of a rotor with a motor, and a power supply with speed control, counter weight, precession motor, and instruments for measurement of speeds and counter weight distance. The rotor is mounted horizontally on a frame with two bearing supports. The frame has a horizontal screw for installation of counter weight to provide a torque. The frame rests on a vertical shaft on bearings and driven by the precession motor via a belt. A guard with transparent front is provided for safety.
