    In this video I attempt to lift a 19kg (42 lbs) wheel over my head one-handed while it's spinning at a few thousand RPM. This replicates an earlier experiment by Professor Eric Laithwaite. He claimed the wheel was 'light as a feather' and could not be explained by Newton's Laws. I wanted to find out for myself what I really felt like.

    The gyroscope does not get lighter when it is is spinning. It just feels lighter. When it is not spinning, and lifted by one hand near the wheel end, two forces are needed to lift it, one each side of the hand, both larger than the weight of the wheel and in opposite directions. That is needed to balance both the weight and the torque exerted on the hand.

  • @happyfox711
    @happyfox711 Год назад +1

    It's very simple physics, when you start moving the gyroscope sideways, this movement will be added to the top and subtracted from the bottom part of it (depending on the direction of rotation) hence the top and bottom part of the wheel will move with different velocities and have different gyroscopic forces. A very good example on how to set up a nonlinear condition. They use it for satellite propulsion. Excuse me, positioning is the word you're allowed to use.

      Sr. Beast, Be a real Beast, Everything Newton did 400 years ago was what all the damn physicists do, he sent an apple up and said everything that goes up comes down this is gravity he said. Wrong, there is no gravity, it is the AETHER particle, pushing down. Here the betrayal of humanity began, and from here all science began to be conditioned. These damn physicists, omitted the primordial particle AERHER, for not being able to measure their strength, now lately they started to verify that something was there and they gave it beautiful names, such as vacuum, black matter, climbing wave, etc. but they never managed to reach it, they need to break the damn laws of thermodynamics and that would unmask all the betrayal of humanity. For you to understand what I say I will send a video of a scientist, university professor and writer, it is in Portuguese, you have to activate the subtitles. ruclips.net/video/C1C9dNuXX44/видео.html. then, to reinforce you can read Karl Schappeller's patent description, the link on Google is The Karl Schappeller Device - Practical Guide to Free-Energy Devices, click on Read, Ok I can give you more information, if you want, just ask.

      It would be more intuitive, if he used a rope and circled it around really fast to make it appear to "float".
      Or even one of those ribbons that they twirl in the olympics. That would make it really clear.
      The bar makes this circular motion invisible, because the waves are very small and traveling through the bar.
      And because the RPM is so high, these tiny waves are enough to create this same "lasso" effect, where it seems light it's "floating" by magic, but's simply the same effect you get from spinning a rope around, where it appears to be "floating".
      So, he's really holding a "rope" or "ribbon", but you can't see it's micro-motions within the steel.

    • @DanielGrovePhoto
      @DanielGrovePhoto 2 года назад +1

      It would still have gyroscopic motion but it wouldn't be hard to move it over ones head as in this example. But remember that in space while things don't have weight they still have mass so moving a large object would present some difficulty as it "pushes against you" when you attempt to first push it, depending on it's mass of course. But gyros are used in satellites because of this motion. There are wheels on X, Y, and Z axis to move the satellites alignment depending on the spin of those wheels. The James Webb has it also.

      Darlok Libac it might weight lighter because of the speed of the wheel but it won't really change anything. 100 pounds, speed it up the sides, probably 50 or 10.

    hey, so me about age 9 i watched this video and got into it, like way more into it than a 9 yo should naturally be into a video about physics, and he kept watching these videos and eventually found out that there was way more to physics then just this and started reading books, watching yet more videos, and building little projects using the stuff he learned from these books and videos (a robot that screams at you if your heartrate goes below 90, or a headset that would let you turn on a light with your thoughts, etc ). anyways it's 7 years later and that kid is applying to physics and engineering and i'm mostly convinced that it's because of this video. so thanks

    The angular momentum here is pointing down, so if you spun the wheel counterclockwise instead would it become even lighter?
