Motorised Gyroscope

Our Motorised Gyroscope consists of a disc rotor mounted on a horizontal shaft rotating in the ball bearings of one frame. The rotor shaft is coupled to a motor mounted on a tri union frame having bearings in the yoke frame which is free to rotate about vertical axis. Thus a disc can be rotated about three perpendicular axes. Angular scale and pointer fitted to frame help to measure precession rate.

Following are the salient features of Motorised Gyroscope:
1. Demonstrates relationship between applied torque & precision rate along with direction of rotation.
2. Gyroscopic couple easily verified by an arrangement of weights.
3. Precisely balanced rotor.
4. Completely portable & suitable for class room demonstration.
5. Observe the relationship T = I. W. Wp
