Motorized Gyroscope

The set up of Motorized Gyroscope consists of heavy stainless steel disc mounted on a horizontal shaft, rotated by a variable speed motor.  The rotor shaft is coupled to a motor mounted on a trunnion frame having bearings in a yoke frame, which is free to rotate about vertical axis. A weight pan on other side of the disc balances the weight of motor.  The Rotor disc can be moved about three axes.  Torque can be applied by calculating the weight and distance of weight from the center of rotor.  The gyroscopic couple can be determined by Motorized Gyroscope.
Experiments

• Experimental justification of the equation T = l w.  wp for calculating the gyroscopic couple by observation and measurement of results for  independent vibrations in applied couple T and precession wp.
• To study the gyroscopic effect of a rotating disc
• Observation of gyroscopic effect of rotating disc
