Description

The toy gyroscope has been in production since 1917 and has been a classic educational tool for generations. Use the power of physics to balance the gyroscope on its pedestal, a fingertip, the edge of a glass, or even a string. Gyroscopes are used in robotics, space exploration, and they are even used to stabilize movie cameras. Each gyroscope is packed in a clear styrene box with starting string, pedestal, and instructions for several amazing tricks. Measures 4.75" tall.

Quality Gyroscope

Sep 17, 2023

I was so please to receive the gyroscope, which will be a gift for my grand daughter. It is exactly like the one I played with as a child, and is a very quality product. I'll be ordering more of these for future gifts! I've had mine for 60 years and it still works perfectly. I hope this one, too, will be a "pass it on" toy.

Iformations on how it works

Dec 27, 2020

I think it would be beneficial to include several paragraphs explaining how it works. Middle Schools aged students are curious and they want to know why things happen as they do. An age appropriate (early high school) explanation would be a terrific addition to the purchase of the device. Let have our children reach intellectually and try to understand the working of such a unique device.

Twisting!

Sep 25, 2017

It's the second one I bought in my life. The first was given for a present so I decided to buy another on for me. It works properly without surprises.
