test results |
| Question: |
The generally accurate test results below, measured precession distance the wheel traveled, in relation to the distance and time it was tilted.
I used a special geared/belt pulley kind of gyroscope to help control the speed of the flywheel rotation for uniform testing; a laser light, a second increments watch, a mm ruler and a graduated ladder-like launch platform. In experiment B. extra weight has been added at the outside circumference knob for added tilt force.
1: tilt distance : 57 distance the wheel circled.
Experiment A. Ratio 1:57 (revolutions 15 to touch down) (time 22 sec.)
Experiment B. Ratio 1:83 (revolutions 22 to touch down) (time 22 sec.)
Yeah, I know it makes no sense. It is opposite to logic and to what was expected. Maybe we can eventually explain it. No negative interference from the pivot occurred in either test (actually many re-tests) until the flywheel was rotating at equally very slow speeds in both tests.
Glenn,
