Gyroscopic Wheel- Engineering Lab Training Systems Description and Specifications for Lab Tenders
Gyroscopic Wheel Engineering Lab Training Systems.
Features
Low cost, effective teaching.
High visual impact.
Aids understanding of gyroscopic.
precession through "hands on"
involvement.
Three year warranty.
Range of Experiments
A
gyroscopic wheel to show visually and by a sense of feel the
relationship between speed of rotation, applied couple, and gyroscopic
effect.
The optional extra HTM15b (Rotating Platform)
extends the scope of HTM15a to demonstrate through direct student
participation the precession caused by an applied couple.
Description
HTM15a
is a gyroscopic wheel designed to literally give students a "feel" for
gyroscopic motion. It is essentially a cycle wheel with a heavy rim
having two handles for the student to hold. An integral cord pulley
enables the wheel to be spun by another student.
This equipment
is part of a range designed to both demonstrate and experimentally
confirm basic engineering principles. Great care has been given to each
item so as to provide wide experimental scope without unduly
complicating or compromising the design. Each piece of apparatus is
self-contained and compact. Setting up time is minimal, and all
measurements are made with the simplest possible instrumentation, so
that the student involvement is purely with the engineering principles
being taught. A complete instruction manual is provided describing the
apparatus, its application, experimental procedure and typical test
results.
