Question
Asked by: Thomas Ferko
Subject: Wanted 3 inch gyroscope. Must be able to disassemble
Question: I need a gyroscope that I can (center) shaft twist with 2 fingers to start the spin. It should lbe a brass disk with a long 1/4 inch non magnetic shaft going through the center. Disk about 3 inches in diameter with a 1/4 inch hole in the center. About 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick.

What I plan to do with this after I install a "DIAMETRIC" cylinder magnet on its center shaft is to keep the setup spinning for years. Not days or weeks! Please check out my U tube movie link below. I can spin any magnet with almost no power. The thought occured to me I could keep a well machined gyroscope
operating for years with power going off for a long duration and then kicked on for a second to bring the gyroscope up to speed. ALL DONE WITHOUT MANUALLY TOUCHING THE GYROSCOPE1111

lLet me hear from you if you can help or interested.

Thanks, Tom
