The collision
I had not intended to post, but I think I should report this: I knew for years there was a hard blow to be had. Blaze found it earlier too. I went outside with no intention of fooling around with ...

Does a gyro wheel retain velocity when released?
My theory is that when an overhung gyro wheel is precessing and is suddenly disconnected from the arm, it will continue to travel in a straight line. This effect would most easily be seen when the gyr ...

Where does precession come from?
The last reaction from the series of reactions that cause precession occurs in the bottom of the wheel, with most of the precess force located between 140o and 220o. The release of precession is ...

Theory: Mass Transfer is really just Weight Transfer
Premise: What is commonly called Mass Transfer is actually ONLY weight transfer. The MASS of the gyro wheel stays with the wheel. Only the WEIGHT of the gyro wheel is transferred to the pivot. ...

Has anyone seen or know of a really big gyro system?
The biggest gyro I have seen is the 50 pound wheel in the heretic video. This gyro still moves fairly slowly, precessing once in about 3 to 4 seconds as it is being raised by the professor. Has anyone ...
