Gyroscopic Precession is Easier Than You Think!

Gyroscopic precession is actually quite easy to understand. This video will be an interactive break down of how gyroscopic precession works. I’ll talk about what a gyroscope is, angular momentum and torque. I’ll also work through some examples showing you an easy three-step process to determine how a gyroscope will behave. The concepts of angular momentum and torque will guide our understanding of gyroscopic precession.

I'm in pilot training, and had trouble understanding this concept. From all the explanations instructors gave me, and all of the training materials, and all of the videos, only your video cleared it up for me. Thank you, really. This is huge.

[@physassist2635]

Happy to help and good luck on the rest of flight training! Working toward your private pilot’s license I’m guessing?

[@radical5908]

completely true.

[@user-lj5fd6gk5p]

I didn't get it yet

[@cdmChase1]

Look how flat the earth is.

[@noahpfeifer6931]

I`m in pilot training as well and came here to finally understand what gyroscopic precession is.

[@jackanderson3284]

Did what my prof couldn't do in a semester in 15mins. Legend

[@pinkfloydcu]

The best explaining the gyroscope video I have ever seen in youtube. Thanks bro

[@bhaskarnaithani1662]

I must say this...honesty, your way of explaining the concepts is simply extraordinary. Very nice.

[@physassist2635]

Thank you for the kind words! I’m happy this was helpful :)

[@peteredhouse7502]

I don't know how many years I've been trying to understand precession. But after watching this for 5 min I finally have! Thank you.

[@ethanepp849]

I have watched my lecture from a pretty good physics school, the MIT youtube lectures, and several videos and I was still confused about this until now this was an incredible video.

[@physassist2635]

Thanks! I’m happy this helped :)

[@avaritia1522]

Brehhhhhhhhhh. My smol brane finally wrapped itself around this concept. Idek what to tell you. This method of teaching is just wow. Thanks a lot man.

[@physassist2635]

I appreciate it! I’m glad this was helpful :)

[@lettuce8635]

I spent 1.5 hours on youtube trying to figure out precession and this video finally did it for me, THANK YOU

[@lezliebeans5639]

I had a really hard time finding an explanation for such behaviour, this video helped me properly understand what actually was going on there. I really hope this channel grows for the sake of all the physics students out there.

[@physassist2635]

Thanks Leslie! I’m glad this video was helpful :)

[@chandanvudala6778]

@@physassist2635 great explaination but a doubt remained in my mind.
what is the direction of torque in flying helicopter?

[@MDMAx]

Omg I had so many eureka moments thanks to YOU!
Thank you so so so so so much!
I'm so glad someone in my past cared enough to heal my stupidity in their future :>
May your videos reach millions of views as you are worth it.

[@robinrobison7559]

I completely agree with everyone! Thank you for the practical way to "physically visualize" this concept!!!

[@woodychelton5590]

wow this made perfect sense to me now. I really appreciated how you did a mix of intuitive visual explanations AND used physics vectors and terminology. Very good balance. Also the way you started off small and then worked up to more difficult problems and concluded with the wheel problem framed in a way that allows us to easily apply what we learned earlier in the video. This was masterfully done.

[@vinayak19]

This is the probably the best video on gyroscopic effect

[@hotomelette4155]

"The momentum follows the force/torque"
That's what did it for me.

[@mynoghra1849]

I spent so long trying to understand this concept. By the power of Veritasium, The physics girl, and your video, I finally understand precession! Thank you so much :D

[@aguynamedryan]

You made this concept incredibly clear and I really appreciate it.

[@ASKENG]

This is a really great video. Good to see other physics CZcamsrs doing a great job.

[@cameronisles4872]

I’ve been watching videos on motorcycle counter steering and this just explained perfectly why it works. Thanks

[@chebiyyamsaicharan9235]

Have seen made videos to understand this concept but this video is awesome and make me felt it is simpler than I think

[@jeffreyarcher3117]

U just saved my day buddy....and the background music is also very very soothing....ty

[@physassist2635]

Haha it’s all about the music ;)

[@armandocastaneda1546]

This video was such a huge help in understanding this concept... it definitely helped me better understand torque better as well. Thank you so much!

[@physassist2635]

You’re welcome! I’m happy this helped :)

[@maleeshapriyanjana7604]

An amazing video. I was trying to figure this concept for a long time. I was able to understand the concept within this few minutes. Your explanation is excellent. Thank you very much

[@bluekenya4825]

Thanks. Great approach. The purely qualitative approach eliminates the serious confusion most learners and teachers suffer. If I may add, it should be emphasized that the torque of a spinning wheels has a different direction from that of a non-spinning wheel. And for disclosure, I never understood it intuitively despite teaching it many times.

[@shyamreza5791]

really love the idea of using lots of examples and ask the viewers to try themselves. It solidifies the understanding. Great work buddy. keep it up

[@physassist2635]

I appreciate that! :)

[@whitebusinessman]

This explanation is incredible! Thanks so much!

[@rigilchrist]

I wish I'd had you as a teacher. You patient and lucid explanation is easy to follow and now I understand. Thank you! 😊

[@ShivamYadav-fh1fp]

Thanks for clearing concept .

[@rcsarker665]

Thanks. You made it super easy to understand.

[@mmnyako]

The best explanation I've seen so far. THANKS FOR SHARING

Very clear! Great job

[@hotcols1171]

Thank you - I have been looking for a decent explanation of the interaction of torque and angular momentum resulting in gyroscopic precession for a while and your's is easily the most clear in how it works and linking it all together. L chasing τ is the best way I have seen yet to explain it.

[@physassist2635]

Happy to help!

[@yohannessetegn9270]

brilliant....explained easily

[@stahli3349]

Realy good explanation 👍 thank you so maich

[@keerthihiremath2204]

I bought a gyroscopic wrist exerciser recently and wanted to understand this in an intuitive way. This video did just that and perfectly. I rate this video higher than the Veritasium one.

[@divyanshupandey269]

Fantastic explanation

what an amazing way to teach I was feeling troubled when I couldn't understand thanks a lot I got the concept crystal clear now

[@physassist2635]

I appreciate it :) I’m happy this was useful!

[@rafiaahmad4634]

Great Explanation. Thank you so much. Please continue creating such valuable content.

[@physassist2635]

Will do!

[@maxnjax7294]

Very good explanation. Tnx

[@jeroenkodde2438]

The big thing I do not like about the explanations on the internet is that they blindly assume that the body will just follow its angular momentum. During the precession the body has an angular velocity in the precession axis for which seemingly no torque was applied.

[@MohamedIbrahim-ej6wb]

Best video explaining this experiment. Thanks

[@user-ph3mb3lc8f]

Thank you so so so so much for going through it like this!!!! I understand it now!

[@azrulhaizi8378]

Best video to understanding the concept!

[@physassist2635]

Thanks! 😜

[@oculwarrior1706]

My first time trying to understand the mechanics of the gyroscope. This video helped me get there after hitching my thumb in every direction (luckily I wasn't anywhere near any cars). I still think I need to play with actual gyroscope to visualize some of the examples, such as when the angular momentum was pointing upwards; I just couldn't imagine the wheel on a string scenario.
Taking from the explanation at the end of the video, I understand that the wheel on a string is not actually a gyroscope but an apparatus that follows gyroscopic rules. So it just won't do for certain examples.
EDIT
I used the flip-camera method to visualize the angular momentum in the example above, and the wheel practically breaks gravity 😅. It basically backflips in a very gyroscopic way 😒.

[@whoispankaj]

This was the best video explanation after watching so many videos..This really helped me understand gyroscropic precession..

[@physassist2635]

I’m happy this helped!! Cheers :)

[@innovativehacker3769]

Thanks for sharing such amazing content.

[@physassist2635]

My pleasure!

[@ilyashick3178]

Bunch of videos like this one never ever have been close to understanding all gyro staff, gave me a clear direction how to this staff works . Brilliant and so helpful not to use apps just an imagination by pencil and paper . Go again to try not start the examples, sir.

[@Benlucky13]

I was having a hard time picturing how it can 'pick' a direction when the 'right hand rule' is completely arbitrary. Seeing it drawn out like this made it so much more clear.
As long as you're consistent, even a 'left hand rule' gives the same results. It just visually puts the arrows on opposite sides. The resulting precession is still the exact same direction

[@subratadutta7710]

Best explanation I have ever heard. Great concept, Angular momentum will follow the applied torque.

[@physassist2635]

I appreciate it!

[@haroonq7876]

Right. The best explanation so far I saw about the Gyroscopic precession.
