Eisco® Premium Tabletop Gyroscope

Beautiful, large, and functional gyroscope for classroom demonstrations.

Amongst the finest gyroscopes available in the education market, this unit is completely comprised of heavy-duty metals, from gimbals to rotor to base, and has an uncompromisingly fluid motion. A heavy, 7.5 cm brass wheel is perfectly balanced with three pairs of adjustable pivots. The central axis has a small hole in it to wind a string around in order to get the gyroscope spinning. Once spinning, students can push on the different axis to demonstrate how the applied force creates a torque that is perpendicular to the applied force.
