One question I've never seen answered to my satisfaction: If you created a gyroscope with two counter-rotating disks somehow identical in moment and location, would it fight precession symmetrically, or act like a block of matter with nothing rotating inside it?
- Retra 9y agoAren't those the same alternative? If something is fighting precession symmetrically, then isn't it acting like a block of matter with nothing rotating inside it?
- danbmil99 9y agoa standard gyro fights precession at 90 degrees to the attempted off-axis rotation, and shows way more rotational inertia than can be accounted for by the mass involved.
