Dramatically demonstrate angular momentum while answering questions such as “Why does a bicycle stay upright?” with our Deluxe Bicycle Wheel Gyroscope.
Don’t just explain it, allow students to experience angular momentum! Spin this bicycle wheel gyroscope, hold the handles, and try to change its axis of rotation. The faster it spins, the harder it is to tip over! Stand on our Rotating Platform to experiment with gyroscopic precession and learn how satellites steer. Best of all, the large 24in (61cm) diameter allows for better results.
