About Motorised Gyroscope Apparatus

Motorised Gyroscope Apparatus

The apparatus consists of a rotor mounted in bearings. This rotor is free to rotate about

(i) Its own axis i.e axis of spin

(ii) Axis of precession

(iii) Axis of gyroscopic couple

The rotar is connected to the variable speed motor. The weight of the motor is balanced by another weight, which is either side of the rotor, by putting weights on the weight platform torque can be supplied to rotor which is also called gyroscopic couple

Specifications :

Rotor dia 250mm free about 3 axis of rotation driven by variable speed motor.
Dimmerstat to control the motor speed
Stopwatch to measure the angular speed about the axis of precession

Versatile and Precise Gyroscopic Demonstration

The MG-100 Gyroscope Apparatus provides highly accurate and stable demonstrations of gyroscopic principles, making it invaluable for educational and laboratory settings. With its robust mild steel frame, machined steel rotor, and protective acrylic cover, the device ensures safety without sacrificing performance. Both clockwise and anti-clockwise motions can be explored, supporting a wide range of experimental applications and fostering a deeper understanding of gyroscopic effects.

User-Friendly Control and Variable Speed Operation

Featuring a clear control panel with ON/OFF switch and speed regulator, the equipment offers smooth, adjustable operation for a variable speed range up to 4000 RPM. Manual controls and an analog display allow precise experimentation. The drive mechanism belt or direct coupling provides flexibility in usage, while the universal table enables convenient mounting and positioning during experiments.

Compliant, Durable, and Safe Design

Manufactured according to IS laboratory standards, the MG-100s powder-coated finish and robust construction ensure long-term durability and corrosion resistance. The transparent acrylic guard enhances operator safety by preventing accidental contact with moving parts. With its vibration-free, noise-controlled (below 65 dB) operation, the apparatus is ideal for routine demonstrations and extended laboratory use.

FAQs of Motorised Gyroscope Apparatus:

Q: How does the motorised gyroscope apparatus demonstrate the gyroscopic effect in a laboratory setting?

A: The apparatus demonstrates the gyroscopic effect by allowing students to observe the behavior of a rapidly spinning flywheel subjected to applied weights and varying rotation directions. With variable speed control, users can investigate how precession and gyroscopic forces respond to different speeds, offering hands-on educational insights into rotational dynamics.

Q: What safety features are provided in the MG-100 gyroscope apparatus?

A: The MG-100 incorporates a protective transparent acrylic guard that covers the flywheel and moving components, minimizing the risk of accidental contact. The device also operates with low noise (<65 dB) and is mounted securely to a laboratory bench, ensuring stability during demonstration and operation.

Q: When should the analog tachometer accessory be used with this apparatus?

A: The analog tachometer (optional accessory) should be used when precise measurement of the flywheels rotational speed is required during demonstrations or experiments. This enables accurate data collection and analysis, particularly in advanced educational or research applications.

Q: Where can the MG-100 motorised gyroscope apparatus be installed for best results?

A: This apparatus is best installed on a stable, rigid laboratory bench within a controlled ambient temperature environment. The universal table and robust frame facilitate straightforward mounting, ensuring vibration-free and consistent operational performance.

Q: What process is involved in adjusting the rotational speed of the gyroscope?

A: To adjust rotational speed, users simply operate the speed regulator located on the control panel. The variable speed feature allows continuous adjustments up to 4000 RPM, enabling customized experimentation according to instructional or experimental requirements.

Q: How is the apparatus beneficial for educational use?

A: The MG-100 is highly beneficial for educational purposes as it provides a tangible demonstration of gyroscopic effects, enriching students understanding of physics and engineering concepts. Its variable speed, precise balancing, and ability to operate in both rotation directions make it ideal for instruction and demonstration in academic laboratories.
