Motorized Universal Gyroscope Apparatus

Motorized Universal Gyroscope Apparatus

The experimental 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 low voltage power supply and speed control.
The rotor is mounted horizontally on a frame with two bearing supports.
The rods with sliding weights are attached to the frame along the rotor axis to produce balance, positive or negative torque conditions.
A tachometer measures rotor and progression speeds.
The frame rests on a vertical shaft on bearings to permit progression.
The top assembly can be removed for determination experimentally the moment of inertia, and nutation study.
A guard with transparent front is provided for safety.
