What a gyroscope looks like
The Gyroscope
In the image, we see how a person turns the wheel. If you stand up and try to put the wheel horizontal, a considerable force is applied. If you repeat the experiment sitting down, you see that the seat rotates in the opposite direction. Both effects are due to the conservation of angular momentum. First, the wheel resists the change in the direction of the rotation axis. This same resistance holds a bicycle on two wheels. In the second case, the seat begins to rotate to compensate for the change in the axis' direction. Conservation of angular momentum has practical applications in gyroscopes, which are used as compasses and stabilizers in air and sea navigation.
