Description

This simple piece of apparatus clearly demonstrates the remarkable behaviour of a
Gyroscope.
A bicycle wheel with a heavy tyre has been altered so that it can be held and supported by
two strong handles. The wheel is fitted also with a special pulley around which
a thin rope can be wound. While the wheel is held by one person, the other person can pull
the rope firmly and progressively from the pulley to cause the wheel to accelerate to a high
rotational speed which then produces the Gyroscopic effect.
