Title: Explaining gyroscopic precession without angular momentum vectors [self-promo]
Post by: rs20 on May 29, 2016, 03:41:43 am

If you've ever felt that gyroscopic precession (i.e., the hanging bicycle wheel trick) seems weird and unintuitive (even if you are fully capable of calculating the effect using angular moment vectors), then this video that I made is targeted to you!

Any feedback greatly appreciated.

Excellent video, especially at thinking and presenting it the other way around , definitely you'are a good teacher.  :-+

Excellent, clearly explained, video, thanks.

Just looking forward to the one where you force the wheel axis to rotate in the opposite direction now.  :D
