Spinning Wheel Experiment at Alex Baume blog

Spinning Wheel Experiment. A spinning bicycle wheel resists efforts to tilt it and point the axle in a new direction. Rocket ships are stabilized this way. Holding a spinning wheel doesn’t sound that perplexing, but when you hold a spinning wheel while standing on a turntable, something surprising is revealed. When ryan spins a bike wheel, nothing crazy happens. A bicycle wheel as a gyroscope is a common method of using a familiar object to demonstrate a counterintuitive physics concept. When the bike wheel is tilted back vertically, the platform stops spinning, as in the beginning. This experiment demonstrates conservation of angular momentum about a vertical axis. Any rapidly spinning wheel exhibits this gyroscopic property—and you can use this tendency to take yourself for a spin. They have little wheels spinning inside. A bicycle wheel is suspended from one of end of its axie by a rope, and spun up by hand. In this educational video, museum educator jeannine stands on a turntable while applying force to a spinning bike wheel. Watch as mit alum ryan. A bicycle wheel is mounted on.
