    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 2 роки тому +2

    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.

    STEP 1.
    Increase the speed of rotation around the body.
    The gyroscope begin to rise due to the gyroscopic effect.
    The arm feels the full weight of the gyroscope, but remains motionless.
    The axis of the gyroscope tilts.
    STEP 2.
    Decreases the speed of rotation around the body.
    The gyroscope begins a slight falling motion.
    Immediately lift the gyroscope rod, which is no longer heavy, until it becomes horizontal.
    The two steps are resumed.
    From these combined movements results the SUBJECTIVE feeling that less mechanical work has been done to lift the gyroscope. In reality, the mechanical work is the same, but forces with other orientations come into play.

      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.

    1. Consider an imaginary hand pulling that flywheel upwards. Do you feel the same amount of load in ur hand? No. Because you are getting help. You may feel reduced amount of load and it makes it easier.
    2. Similarly when the gyroscopic effect is creating opposite effect, and the spinning will create angular momentum in opposite direction. It tries to counteract the gravitational impact. Hence you would feel low impact on the hand.
    3. Still the weight will be the same in weighing machine. 72+19 kgs.

    When we swing around the wheel, the wheel itself uses the body of the man holding it as a fixed point to the Earth and tries to reach the vertical creating its own uplifting force. Thats why it feels lighter. It not only deflects the pull of Gravity but, at the same time, converts it into work to erect itself into the vertical position, where it needs the least amount of energy to keep spinning.
    The system Earth-Gyroscope is an intelligent phenomenon, much more intelligent than those who try to explain before the could even understand it.

    When it's a dead weight your hand, wrist, arm, shoulder, torso, etc. has to control all 6 degrees of freedom. When the weight is spinning the 2 rotational DOF in the plane of the disk get prescribed. Rotation towards the ground, is very slow (let's just say it's locked out) and the precession is a constant rate. The only rotational DOF you have to control is the spin axis of the disk, the easiest direction for your wrist and forearm muscles to control. It's noticeably easier for you to lift the weight when it has 4 DOF than when it has 6.

    Using a much stronger person, allowing them to use both hands, but also using a significantly heavier weight, could you use this technique to break a world record for most weight lifted above your head.

      +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.

    It's an anti-gravity engine. Such super flywheels are found inside flying saucers. Due to this, the flying saucer loses its mass. Super Flywheels can store a lot of energy, which will power the flying saucer's power system and ion thrusters. Reducing mass with anti-gravity allows you to expend a little energy to create thrust. Therefore, to create thrust, it is enough to use ion engines designed for weightlessness.
