This is how satellites maintain their attitude without having to constantly use reaction control jets, which would run out of fuel in a short time of constantly maintaining control. The ISS uses something vaguely similar to these control wheels, it’s called a control moment gyro. It uses gyroscopic precession to move the space station (more specifically to apply torque to it), rather than using direct torque from a reaction wheel like this one. Think of a Segway where the wheel is in the air. That is a simplified analogy to what this thing is doing, [just saw your username], you smeghead. ;)

Hi Mike, This is creating stability, in an unstable system. An excellent presentation! I study the dynamic behaviour of all natural eyes. This is a superior instruction tool and simulation. Thanks.
Google, get out of my brain. I was literally thinking abut doing something like this for a Halloween costume prop the other day. I haven't searched on it or talked about it or anything, just thinking about it. Now this shows up in my feed.
Beautiful, expecially how it seems to adjust its balance to spin down the reaction wheels so they don't get saturated. Even with the center of mass shifting and oscillating.
@@En_theo that is because with drones they are essentially an isolated system the angular momentum cant be drained anywhere except for a bit through air drag so the reaction wheels on a drone become saturated easily, but with a stick like this the reaction wheels can drain their angular momentum by imparting a force downwards, through the stick and onto the table (and probably through the wire bundle) making it easier to have a system that doesn't become saturated.
@@halted_code I need to learn more about this draining of force and momentum stuff...I am an engineer could you please direct me to some article book or research paper on this stuff?
Okay, for fun, try balancing it on your finger while the reaction wheels are going. Can you overcome your natural inclination to balance it or will it be fighting you the whole time?

Is something like this in the SpaceX rockets for when they land?
The detection part for sure. But they use propellants for correction. Haven't seen giant flywheels sticking out of the rockets... But, they are used to orientate space telescopes.
The reaction wheels suitable to do that would be too impractical to use for the rocket.
Not even close, however space craft like satellites actually use this in space to change their orientation
Cruise ships also use them for stability.
Great demo, good job!
