What better way to begin my #MESExperiments video series than by demonstrating one of the most universally unknown properties of gyroscopes: their ability to RISE UPWARDS as they precess. In this experiment I show that this ability of gyroscopes depends partially on the angle it is tilted relative to the vertical but depends mainly on the amount of “friction” of the surface it is placed on. The lower the friction, the better the gyroscope’s ability to magically rise.

Even when it precesses about a rotating platform, the gyroscope can still rise upwards! The rotating platform is a good way to minimize the friction between the gyroscope stem and the surface it is placed on. What’s also VERY interesting, is that with higher friction, the gyroscope may even lower to the ground in a matter of seconds; while with lower friction the gyroscope precesses for several minutes longer upwards, and, as I will show in my later experiments, it remains upright for a much longer time than higher friction surfaces.

This is a truly amazing demonstration of just another magical property of gyroscopes. Let me know what you think is going on here! Note that the precession speed increases presumably as the gyro wheel spin speed decreases, thus providing an acceleration in precession speed. An acceleration, in mainstream science terms, indicates a “force” or “torque”. Is this self-created “force” the reason behind why it is rising? Well if you stay tuned for my later experiments, especially my #AntiGravity Part 6 video, it is almost certainly an intrinsic property of matter to INTERACT with gravity through rotational motion. #StayTuned

Anyways, let me know what you think and stay tuned for my next experiment!
