Question

Asked by: Ian F
Subject: Balancing a chinese yo-yo on a string? Does it have to do with gyroscopes?
Question: I was wondering how a chinese yo-yo, diabolo, worked. When hold the string taught and place the diabolo on it it falls off but when it is spinning on the taught string it stays on. I believe it has something to do with the gyroscope effect. Could you please explain (in laymens terms, I'm 13) how this works. Thank you.
