Gyroscopes demonstrate the law of action and reaction. A classic toy, the gyroscope continues to fascinate with its mysterious gravity-defying force. Gyroscopes are at the heart of modern gyro-controlled guidance and navigation systems used on ships, airplanes and spacecraft. Precision engineered for near perfect balance, with mini-ball bearings for a long spin. Wind it with a pull string like a top. Package includes: Gyroscope, pedestal / tower, pull string, clear plastic cube to store and display your gyroscope, and instructions. Your gyroscope will spin merrily on its pedestal...dance on a string tightrope...balance perfectly on the lip of a drinking glass...turn its cube box into a whirling dervish. Do these other astounding tricks... Place the spinning gyroscope on a tight wire or string, on the edge of an unbreakable drinking glass. On the edge of a yardstick or ruler or on the edge of any sturdy surface. Place the spinning gyroscope in its plastic box. Close the box and place the box corner on any surface. Watch the box spin around and around. Place the spinning gyroscope so that it balances on the horizontal frame member. Place a second spinning gyro on the end of the first and they will maintain balance and position together. Suspend the spinning gyroscope in a loop made by doubling the string. The gyroscope will maintain any angle above or below the horizontal at the bottom of the loop. Show more
