🔬#MESExperiments 24: Gyroscope Rises Even With 70% Added Weight #A...

In #MESExperiments 24 I further embark on the amazing property of gyroscopes rising on their own even with added weight and this time show that even with 70% added weight a gyroscope can still rise upwards. This is a similar experiment and gyroscope as that in Experiments 21 and 22 but this time I included several metal nuts into the putty weight to further increase the weight. Interestingly the gyroscope rises gradually until the putty makes contact with the gyroscope rotor and which somehow causes the gyroscope to rise completely, instantly, and chaotically! In fact the gyroscope even oscillates from its risen position to a tilted angle back and forth several times in a chaotic second or two. This experiment raises even more questions as to the magical world of gyroscopes, and which I will continue exploring.

Unedited Video and Weight Measurements

The original unedited experiment can be viewed here:

The gyroscope weighs 100.28 g and the added putty + metal nuts weighed 70.51 g; which is 70.51 / 100.28 = 70.31% of the gyroscope’s weight.

Experiment Results and Comparison

The full experiment results are tabulated, graphed, and compared with the earlier Experiments 21 and 22.

Note the steep oscillations at the moment the putty touches the rotor.

Comparing with the earlier 30% added weight in Experiments 21 and 22, the chart shows that the 70% weighted gyro is rising at a much slower pace initially but only until the moment when the gyro makes contact with the rotor, and literally catapulting it to a slightly faster overall rising time! #WOW

Comparing with all of the earlier experiments shows that the 70% weighted gyro was also rising much faster than the non-weighted and 5% weighted gyro even before the putty making contact with the rotor.

Including the time to fall for all the experiments shows the chaotic nature of the 70% weighted gyro relative to the other experiments; in which it chaotically rose and chaotically fell the fastest.
