This is a quick demonstration of gyroscopic precession and why it is easier to maintain balance on a motorcycle when you're moving as opposed to being at rest. There are other forces at play such as centripetal forces. These centripetal forces and the handlebars on a bicycle will play a larger role at low speeds. However, on a motorcycle with larger mass and higher speeds, leaning to turn will have a larger factor into the stability of the bike. It still won’t be the only factor, and counter-steering will always be important, but even at slower speeds, gyroscopic precession helps to turn those handlebars.

This is why i love gyroscopes
Same! They are everywhere but most people normally don't recognize them.
Me too
I really want a gyroscope toy but ill probably do nothing else but play with it all day
I completely understand!
I had no idea a bike is a gyroscope!
Yes 👍 Anything with mass that rotates will be one.
I will make another video in the future explaining what gyroscopic precession is and how it works. I also want to mention that bicycles are complex machines and other forces such as centrifugal forces will also play a role in the bike's stability. The more mass and speed you have, the greater the role of gyroscopic torques.

@@westernpigeonI tried adding the link to the description. Let me know if it doesn’t work. Thanks

This is the best explanation for explaining precession and for explaining bikes. Thank you. I will subscribe and recommend your channel for my students.
Yes this is true but also don’t forget the arguably more important part, the fact that the center of the wheel is in front of where it connects to the steering. When you are riding and you make a right turn you can completely make that turn using no hands due to this effect. When your turning the force of the ground pushes up on the wheel, and because the force is directed in front of the steering column it turns the wheel towards where you are going, you can try this when you are not moving sit on a bike with your feet on the ground and lean to one side with most of your body weight on the seat you will see your tire turns towards the direction you are leaning. Also a second thing helping you is the g-forces you get when you turn. When you lean a bike to the side when moving your tires start to turn to the direction making you turn, but the momentum is still going in a straight line therefore you are pushed left in this scenario, gravity is pulling you down so as long as you don’t turn too quick the gravity and the momentum force will average out and point towards where your wheels are making contact with the road. None of this is possible when you are standing still. Think about leaning on a skateboard or snowboard same thing you can lean so much more even with really small to no wheels when moving.

My students say this to me all the time 😂
If you find this confusing, what made is clear for me is that the force of the angular momentum of the upright spinning wheel, when spinning sufficiently fast, overpowers the torquing force that gravity has on it, but eventually if you let the wheel slow down the angular momentum will then be overpowered by gravity
Very cool sir, thank you.
That's cool! Thanks for clearing my doubt!!

Wow, this is amazing 😍
Thank you 😊
Gyroscopic precession, the caster effect of the handlebars and wheels, and also differential steering of a leaned tire profile all help the bike to steer in the direction of the lean in order to correct it. The bike will stay upright but it will veer in the direction of the gradient if it has no rider.
Yes! This is true. Thank you for the comment. My short video is short and so didn't explain much but I did create a longer video if anyone is interested.

That’s why when you jump off your bike if it’s moving it will keep going. Used to do that in a lake to our old bikes as a kid haha
Hello sir, I kindly disagree with your argument. I also used to believe the concept of gyroscope is used to maintain the balance of a bicycle. But in a video of ' veritasium ' experimenting bicycles he proves that it's self steering is what makes it stable. Don't forget to check it out!!!
Thank you for being polite. I usually don’t get that. I appreciate it. I did see that video a while ago. I like him a lot and use his videos in my classes. I’ve always used a bicycle wheel to explain precession because it’s a nice large visual for students but when I realized that I needed to be more careful, I made this video. Check it out and let me know what you think of it.

You earned a sub and much more
Thank you so much 😊
@@PhysicsTeacherYT how does this happy
Descriptions are not explanations.
Hard to explain gyroscopic precession in a short so I made a longer video explaining it and pinned it in the comments. If you're interested, it's here:

I didn't Just learned physics, I also learned how to slap a thing
😂 😂 😂
Super cool
Thanks 😊
Why gyroscope don't works in vacuum ?
Gyroscopes do work in a vacuum. The Earth itself also undergoes gyroscopic precession.
Is that because weight (mg) force is at the single (lowest )point of the tire?
I pinned a link in the comments to a video I made where I explain with a little animation the torque and angular momentum on the tire. Take a look if you’re interested 👍
Thats how motorcycles balance
Because when you drop the wheels of the bike the wheel of the bike is heavy and i know its gravity
So wrong . Bikes are stable due to momentum and the front wheel articulation.
Yes. I wrote that in the video description. Precession is present though on any rotating object and will assist in steering, albeit a small amount.
And friction. Mostly friction
This is why I love MotoGP
This is so wrong it hurts. It is actually the ability to steer the bike (or any single tack vehicle) that keeps it upright.
Yes. I know. A more detailed full video and explanation is pinned in my comments.
We call that mars effect
Wow
🤩👍

Sorry for stupid Q but...is this how a children's yo-yo toy works?
That's a really great question. It's not stupid at all. Any mass that is spinning is a gyroscope. If you exert a force on a gyroscope, the effect is seen at 90 degrees from where the force was exerted. A yo-yo is therefore a gyroscope and you can use gyroscopic precession to perform tricks. It's not useful for just going up and down aside from a little wobble though.
