In #MESExperiments 27 I repeat the previous Experiment 26 which involved adding tape friction to make a gyroscope rise from a very steep 72° angle but this time also add a small weight to prevent the outer gyro casing from rotating due to the high spin friction. And as before, the gyroscope rises very fast from a 70° angle but this time in a much more controlled motion. In fact, besides the chaotic motion of the previous experiment, overall the rising ability and rates were very similar regardless if the outer casing rotates or not.

The original unedited experiment can be view here: https://youtu.be/0PE8TZKsRQc

The gyroscope weighed 150.69 g and the added weight was 7.32 g or 4.68 % of the gyro weight.
