Gyroscope Wheel

Gyroscope Wheel

A gigantic gyroscope wheel

Very visceral experience of a gyroscope AND of a flywheel’s stored energy.

Made of a bicycle tire or larger.

Anywhere from $25 to hundreds, depending upon materials used.

people must not be capable of getting near the wheel.

My mom had us suspend a wheel from a spring scale once and spin it to see if centrifugal force caused a weight loss (thus a flying saucer idea dispelled) when we were 14 or so.
