Precession of a Gyroscope: in defiance of gravity this gyroscope hangs attached only at one end. The physics and vector nature of angular momentum! Notice that as the disk of gyroscope slows down, its axis begins to tilt downward, but interestingly its speed of precession around the vertical increases. Timed my catch just before it fell. ➡️ Follow the link in my profile for info on where to get gyroscopes and many other curiosities featured here on @physicsfun #angularmomentum #torque #vectoraddition #precession #physicstoy
Follow Inside Science for more mind-blowing physics in motion! What you're hearing isn't just spinning — it's wobbling at its finest. Near the end of its motion, Euler’s Disk can hit over 100 revolutions per second, with rim speeds topping 10 m/s depending on its mass and radius! That signature rising pitch? It's not magic — it’s precession: the disk's axis rapidly traces a circle as it flattens out. This wobble frequency can exceed 150 Hz, creating that eerie, escalating tone. Here’s the science behind it: Euler’s Equations of Motion: Describe how spinning, tilted objects precess and speed up as they lose tilt. Precession: The axis of rotation itself rotates — faster and tighter — as the disk lowers. Energy Dissipation: Through rolling friction, air drag, and vibrations (some of which we hear as sound). Finite-Time Singularity: The math predicts an infinite frequency in finite time — but friction cuts the motion off just before it gets there. Named after Leonhard Euler, this deceptively simple toy unlocks a world of rich rotational dynamics! All credits to the respective creators.

The Dance of the Stars: Earth's Axial Precession and the Shifting North Celestial Pole As we gaze up at the night sky, the stars seem eternal and unchanging. But over millennia, their positions shift in a slow cosmic dance, thanks to a phenomenon known as Earth's axial precession. Imagine Earth not as a perfect spinner but as a slightly wobbly top. This wobble is caused by the gravitational pull of the Sun and the Moon on Earth's equatorial bulge. Over a period of about 26,000 years, this wobble makes Earth's axis trace out a cone shape in space, altering the position of the poles in the sky. For our ancestors, Thuban in the constellation Draco was the North Star around 3000 BCE. Today, it's Polaris in Ursa Minor. But don't get too attached to Polaris; due to this precessional motion, Vega in the constellation Lyra will take over as the North Star in about 12,000 years. #northstar #precession #vega #polaris
Euler’s Disk: (best with sound on) this classic physics toy exhibits the motion of a “spolling” coin, a motion that combines spinning and rolling. Designed with a large mass and a special smooth beveled edge that maximizes the time of spin. amazingly, the contact point between the disk and the mirror can reach a speed of more than 200 mph. This video includes two cuts to 240fps slow motion to show the curious motion. Watch the end with the sound on! ➡️ Follow the link in my profile for info on where buy this and other amazing items featured here on @physicsfun #EulersDisk #physicstoy #angularmomentum #precession #sprolling
✅Follow us 🔽 Why it balances? A gyroscope balances due to the principles of angular momentum and precession. When it spins, it has angular momentum, which resists changes to its orientation. If an external force is applied, the gyroscope responds by precessing, moving in a direction perpendicular to the force. The faster it spins, the more stable it becomes, maintaining its balance.

Gyroscopic effect is ability (tendency) of the rotating body to maintain a steady direction of its axis of rotation. The gyroscopes are rotating with respect to the axis of symmetry at high speed.

🕴️ The Levitron - a spin stabilized magnetic levitation - will fly for about 3 minutes or more per launch. Perhaps the most amazing physics toy ever invented! The spin rate of the magnetic top must be just right for flight, not too fast or too slow. Air resistance and dissipative interactions between the magnets gradually slow the spin rate and the top falls. Interestingly, trapping the top requires precision; the weight of the top must be adjusted to within 1 gram to achieve equilibrium between the pull of gravity and the magnetic repulsion from the large donut shaped magnet in the wood base. 🧲 _____ 🎥 courtesy of: @physicsfun 🚨 Did you know that half of Americans read less than 4 books per year? 🧐 You probably read more Instagram captions in a day than many people read all year! 🤯 Here’s your chance to meet in the middle with @nerdsnacks.io, the official newsletter of @science. 🎊Subscribe today! 📲 LINK IN BIO.

سحر فیزیک: رقص ژیروسکوپ! ✨ این حرکت جذاب ژیروسکوپ، نتیجهٔ یک قانون ساده فیزیکه: وقتی چرخ داخلش با سرعت زیاد می‌چرخه، یه «قدرت پایداری» به اسم تکانه زاویه‌ای ایجاد می‌کنه. گرانش سعی می‌کنه ژیروسکوپ رو بندازه، ولی چون چرخ داره سریع می‌چرخه، به‌جای سقوط… آروم شروع می‌کنه به چرخیدن حول خودش؛ چیزی که بهش می‌گن حرکت تقدیمی. همین پدیده باعث می‌شه قطب‌نماها، ماهواره‌ها و حتی دوچرخه‌هامون سرپا بمونن. فیزیک همیشه جادو می‌کنه! ✨🌀 قوی #فیزیک #ژیروسکوپ #علمی #مکانیک #جرم_زاویه_ای #حرکت_تقدیمی #دانستنیهای_علمی #آزمایش_علمی #پدیده_های_فیزیکی #علم_برای_همه #کلیپ_آموزشی #عجایب_فیزیک #جهان_فیزیک #علمی_تفریحی #Physics #Gyroscope #AngularMomentum #ScienceExplained #PhysicsFun #Engineering #Mechanics #STEM #ScienceVideo #Precession #ScienceFacts #CoolPhysics #EducationalVideo #ScienceMagic
Precession . There’s the 12 month zodiac, and there’s the 26,000 year zodiac. This is why Jyotish, based on equatorial astronomy, may change everything for you. But the change will be a starlit radiant upgrade. And, no worries~ in 25,000 years you may be that old sign again. Thank you Regina Barber, science reporter @npr and thank you @activenglish_programs for sending this.

Açısal Momentumun Korunumu İlkesinin Gösterimi Gyroskop Precesyonu, Profesör Walter Lewin tarafından yapılan bir gösterimde incelenmektedir. Bir gyroskop, açısal momentumun korunma prensibini kullanarak dönen bir tekerlek mekanizması olan bir cihazdır. Yani temelde bir sistemin dönüş eğiliminin dış bir torka maruz kalmadığı sürece sabit kalma eğilimidir. 🔄 🔬 📐📏🎓 ———————————————————————————— ⚙️Sosyal Medyada Bize Katılın, Harika İçerikler Sizleri Bekliyor! 🔧 #mmekatronik ailesinin bir parçası olun ve Facebook ile Instagram sayfalarımızı takip ederek en son teknolojik gelişmelerden haberdar olun!👍🏻 Takip etmeyi unutmayın: 👉 #Resmiwebsitemiz: www.mmekatronik.com 👉 #Facebook: www.facebook.com/mechatronicsmekatronik 👉 #Instagram: #mmekatronik Sosyal medya dünyasında bizimle birlikte olun! 🚀 #mmekatronikailesi —————————————————————— #gyroskop #precesyon #açısalmomentum #dönmeilkesi #demonstrasyon #fizik #araştırma #eğitim #mekanik #teknoloji #gyroscope #precession #angularmomentum #conservationofangularmomentum #demonstration #physics #research #education #mechanics #technology
