    In this video I attempt to lift a 19kg (42 lbs) wheel over my head one-handed while it's spinning at a few thousand RPM. This replicates an earlier experiment by Professor Eric Laithwaite. He claimed the wheel was 'light as a feather' and could not be explained by Newton's Laws. I wanted to find out for myself what I really felt like.

    The gyroscope does not get lighter when it is is spinning. It just feels lighter. When it is not spinning, and lifted by one hand near the wheel end, two forces are needed to lift it, one each side of the hand, both larger than the weight of the wheel and in opposite directions. That is needed to balance both the weight and the torque exerted on the hand.

      It would be more intuitive, if he used a rope and circled it around really fast to make it appear to "float".
      Or even one of those ribbons that they twirl in the olympics. That would make it really clear.
      The bar makes this circular motion invisible, because the waves are very small and traveling through the bar.
      And because the RPM is so high, these tiny waves are enough to create this same "lasso" effect, where it seems light it's "floating" by magic, but's simply the same effect you get from spinning a rope around, where it appears to be "floating".
      So, he's really holding a "rope" or "ribbon", but you can't see it's micro-motions within the steel.

  • @happyfox711
    @happyfox711 Рік тому +1

    It's very simple physics, when you start moving the gyroscope sideways, this movement will be added to the top and subtracted from the bottom part of it (depending on the direction of rotation) hence the top and bottom part of the wheel will move with different velocities and have different gyroscopic forces. A very good example on how to set up a nonlinear condition. They use it for satellite propulsion. Excuse me, positioning is the word you're allowed to use.

      Sr. Beast, Be a real Beast, Everything Newton did 400 years ago was what all the damn physicists do, he sent an apple up and said everything that goes up comes down this is gravity he said. Wrong, there is no gravity, it is the AETHER particle, pushing down. Here the betrayal of humanity began, and from here all science began to be conditioned. These damn physicists, omitted the primordial particle AERHER, for not being able to measure their strength, now lately they started to verify that something was there and they gave it beautiful names, such as vacuum, black matter, climbing wave, etc. but they never managed to reach it, they need to break the damn laws of thermodynamics and that would unmask all the betrayal of humanity. For you to understand what I say I will send a video of a scientist, university professor and writer, it is in Portuguese, you have to activate the subtitles. ua-cam.com/video/C1C9dNuXX44/v-deo.html. then, to reinforce you can read Karl Schappeller's patent description, the link on Google is The Karl Schappeller Device - Practical Guide to Free-Energy Devices, click on Read, Ok I can give you more information, if you want, just ask.

      +Fluoride is bad for your teeth In theory any drill could spin 1 ton weights to 2000 rpm. It's more a question of how long it would take to bring it to that speed. In fact, if time is of little concern, a human powered bicycle could spin it up to that speed. It would take a well designed transmission though since humans can't pedal anywhere near 2000 rpm. Here's a basic design: start in a 1:1 gear and pedal up to 60 rpm, then shift to a 2:1 gear and pedal from 30 rpm back up to 60 rpm, then shift to a 3:1 and pedal from 40 rpm back up to 60 rpm. Keep this up until finally you reach a 34:1 gear, then you just have to pedal from 57.1 rpm to 58.8 rpm and then you have yourself a 2000 rpm 1 ton weight.

    Literally, it's not an AG. It is clear that the spinning wheel tries to throw its weight distributed to different direction rather than falling directly in one direction down to earth . For sure the scale will reduce (your weight + wheel) but not less than your weight.

      Nah when he spins it up as he said theres a torque that causes the rod to spin clockwise relative to him if you were looking down if you spun the wheel in the opposite direction im fairly sure all that would happen would be a reversal in the direction it spins around i.e. anticlockwise now

      @@scottdc2105 Craig is right. The spinning of the flywheel is not making it lighter, its simply causing a spin. Reversing the direction does not affect its weight, just the direction that it precesses in

      @@kingnoob5037 He did not understand my question maybe because i could have been clearer. When you force the direction of procession it creates lift of the flywheel so if you resist the procession and turn it in the opposite direction then its force is directed down.

    The basic laws of Inertia (aka movement) at high speed to make gravity look like a simple counter weight now that was a good way to tell how it works. (Keep in mind and do not try at home for your own risk if you heed the warning or not if done incorrectly you can hurt your you and/or others).

      This video is linked to a paper which the above demonstrators had published in The Physics Teacher. They were too polite to say so, but the gist of the paper was that Laithwaite was a liar.

    • @gladtobegrey
      @gladtobegrey 9 років тому +5

      I think "mistaken" would be a fairer assessment. He thought he'd discovered a new 'anti-gravity' force, but eventually conceded that the gyroscopes did obey known laws of physics.

    • @MrAaronvee
      @MrAaronvee 9 років тому +2

      John James Nope: I would still go with 'liar'. I have made a detailed study of Laithwaite's 'career', and this was far from being an isolated incident. He backed all sorts of crackpot ideas, persistently derided physicists, and concealed the sources of his own 'discoveries'. He must have known very well that this demonstration was nearly 200 years old. I consider Laithwaite to have been the worst case, of a crackpot infiltrating the scientific establishment, since Trofim Lysenko. And I shall be saying that in a forthcoming book.
