TANGENTIAL precession of gyros |
| Question: |
Do you agree that it gives the same value as RADIAL precession ?
I submit that it clears for an action of PERPETUAL MOTION as at www.unifiedtheory.org.uk
and the arithmetic is given ands= checks out perfect ? Yes !? |

| | | Alan,
First let me say that I like guys that try and come up with these "theories of everything." It's good mental gymnastics.
That said, your "tangential" precession doesn't work.
"Wait!" you're going to say, "But I tried it and it DID work!"
It probably did.
This is because you most likely had an unbalanced system.
Most DC motors use a substantial portion of the case to hold and support relatively lightweight brushes, thus causing the other end (mostly filled with heavy magnets and rotor) to weigh more. The heavy end also has an additional built in (hidden) gyro (the rotor).
So yes, it will precess when using ordinary DC motors. Most AC motors incorporate similar concerns.
To do this experiment corectly requires a special motor, or twin motor configuration.
The two gyros attempting to precess in opposite directions simply cancel each other out. Ergo, no precession.
Eric
