🔬#MESExperiments 27: Spin Friction Can Make Gyroscope Rise from Steep 70° Angle (No Casing Rotation)

In #MESExperiments 27 I repeat the previous Experiment 26 which involved adding tape friction to make a gyroscope rise from a very steep 72° angle but this time also add a small weight to prevent the outer gyro casing from rotating due to the high spin friction. And as before, the gyroscope rises very fast from a 70° angle but this time in a much more controlled motion. In fact, besides the chaotic motion of the previous experiment, overall the rising ability and rates were very similar regardless if the outer casing rotates or not.

Notice the similarities between the added weight (no casing rotation) and the non-added weight (casing rotation) experiments.

For reference, here is a comparison with previous tests from Experiment 23,25, and 26.

Unedited Video and Weight Measurements

The original unedited experiment are shown here:

The gyroscope, tape, and added weight measurements are listed below.

  • Gyroscope: 150.69 g
  • Tape: 150.77 - 150.69 = 0.08 g
  • Added weight: 7.24 g
  • Added weight + tape: 7.32 g
  • Ratio of added weight/gyroscope: 7.32/150.69 = 4.68%

The weight reading images are shown below.
