Motorized Universal Gyroscope Apparatus
Product Code : EL-DOMLE-10775
Quick Answer:
The Motorized Universal Gyroscope Apparatus is used to study the relationship between gyroscopic torque, rotor speed and rate of precession. A motor-driven rotor, mounted horizontally on a two-bearing frame and fitted with sliding weights along its axis for balanced, positive or negative torque conditions, is monitored by a tachometer that measures both rotor speed (up to 4000 rpm) and precession speed (up to 60 rpm); the whole frame rests on a vertical, bearing-mounted shaft that permits precession. A removable top assembly lets students experimentally determine the system’s moment of inertia and study nutation, behind a transparent safety guard.
The experimental apparatus is used for studying the relationship between gyroscopic torque, rotor speed and rate of precession. The equipment consists of a rotor with a motor, and a low voltage power supply and speed control; the rotor is mounted horizontally on a frame with two bearing supports, and rods with sliding weights are attached to the frame along the rotor axis to produce balanced, positive or negative torque conditions. A tachometer measures rotor and precession speeds, while the frame rests on a vertical shaft on bearings to permit precession. The top assembly can be removed for experimentally determining the moment of inertia and for nutation study, and a guard with a transparent front is provided for safety.
