Super Precision Gyroscope
|
The Super Precision Gyroscope is an all new gyroscope, designed and built to
the highest precision from the very start. Made from SOLID brass and aluminium
with carefully chosen miniature high-grade bearings. Tests have shown it runs
almost silently for up to 7 minutes, 4 minutes for experiments ( electric motor
detached ). The gyroscope can be configured into a number of positions to
perform scientific experiments.
The included electric starter spins the gyroscope up to speed (12,000 rpm
approx.), leaving you to do experiments with the high speed spinning gyroscope
that spins for up to 4 minutes. Spin times of over 7 minutes can be achieved
without electric motor detached.
The gyroscope comes with 2 x 50 mm long stainless steel extension rods, 2 x
ball ends, 1 x slotted end. The rods when screwed together will extend 100mm,
they can be screwed in other positions to create gimbals etc. There are 7
places on the frame of gyroscope that the attachments can be screwed into.
