The Super Precision Gyroscope is an all new gyroscope, designed and built to the highest precision from the very start. Made from SOLID brass and aluminium with carefully chosen miniature high-grade bearings. Tests have shown it runs almost silently for up to 7 minutes, 4 minutes for experiments ( electric motor detached ). The gyroscope can be configured into a number of positions to perform scientific experiments.
The included electric starter spins the gyroscope up to speed (12,000 rpm approx.), leaving you to do experiments with the high speed spinning gyroscope that spins for up to 4 minutes. Spin times of over 7 minutes can be achieved without electric motor detached.
The gyroscope comes with 2 x 50 mm long stainless steel extension rods, 2 x ball ends, 1 x slotted end. The rods when screwed together will extend 100mm, they can be screwed in other positions to create gimbals etc. There are 7 places on the frame of gyroscope that the attachments can be screwed into.
