Premium Bicycle Wheel Gyroscope, 20" Diameter

This premium bicycle wheel gyroscope features a 20-inch diameter rubber bicycle wheel fitted with easy-to-grip center handles. It demonstrates the conservation of angular momentum, illustrating how the speed of rotation, mass distribution, and rotational inertia of a spinning wheel resist changes to its axis of orientation. The wheel can be suspended from a string (included) or used while standing on a rotational platform (part number HDTRNT, sold separately) for an immersive experience of gyroscopic stabilization and equal-and-opposite torque. Suitable for physics classroom demonstrations of angular momentum, precession, and gyroscopic effects.
