Description:

• Experiment apparatus with a shaft that can be tilted and rotated while attached to a stand rod.
• On one side of the shaft there is a disc mounted on dual ball bearings, while on the opposite side there is a movable counterweight for establishing equilibrium.
• The shafts angle of inclination can be read from an easily readable scale.
• A spirit level allows the gyroscope to be adjusted to the horizontal.
• The disc can be set rotating by hand or by means of a cord.
• Fine adjustment is performed by thumbscrew at the end of the shaft.
• The dual ball bearing system ensures that rotation is nearly frictionless and that rotation continues for lengthy periods of time.
• The open construction of the gyroscope allows gyroscopic phenomena to be observed easily and clearly.
