Gyroscope- Engineering Lab Training Systems.
Technical Description
The moments generated by the gyroscopic
effect can be investigated using this unit. The basic component is a
flywheel driven about its own axis. This is mounted together with its
drive motor as a yoke and forms the gyroscope. This arrangement is
placed in rotation about a vertical axis with the aid of a second motor.
The rotational speeds of both motors are electronically regulated and
displayed digitally. The gyroscopic moment is preselected by simply
positioning a counterweight at different radii. A transparent cover
provides protection against touching the rotating parts. The gyroscope
is a portable table unit. All that is required for operation is a mains
supply.
