 The answers to all gyroscopic actions are in the understanding of gyroscopes. Can you explain, give examples of what is happening? The word topples just means topple and the same with drift. They are only words.

 If you mean topple as in topple over and getting lower and lower, that's just gravity pulling it down.
for drift if you mean going in a circle around the Pivot Point that's called precession and with that word you can learn all about it on the internet or here at gyroscopes dot org, proud sponsor of sanity.
