    In this video I attempt to lift a 19kg (42 lbs) wheel over my head one-handed while it's spinning at a few thousand RPM. This replicates an earlier experiment by Professor Eric Laithwaite. He claimed the wheel was 'light as a feather' and could not be explained by Newton's Laws. I wanted to find out for myself what I really felt like.

    The gyroscope does not get lighter when it is is spinning. It just feels lighter. When it is not spinning, and lifted by one hand near the wheel end, two forces are needed to lift it, one each side of the hand, both larger than the weight of the wheel and in opposite directions. That is needed to balance both the weight and the torque exerted on the hand.

    we had a bicycle wheel in a set of forks and spun it with a power drill and that was fun, light but spinning very fast, it was impossible to move it against its wanted direction, felt like our arms would snap before it went against its self, hope that makes sense to you, try it, front forks, wheel in them then spin them up with a power drill, and hold the steering stem with one hand, we did long before cordless drills, new drills might spin faster now, we attached a rubber polishing pad into the chuck and ran it against the tyre,

  • @happyfox711

    It's very simple physics, when you start moving the gyroscope sideways, this movement will be added to the top and subtracted from the bottom part of it (depending on the direction of rotation) hence the top and bottom part of the wheel will move with different velocities and have different gyroscopic forces. A very good example on how to set up a nonlinear condition. They use it for satellite propulsion. Excuse me, positioning is the word you're allowed to use.

      It would be more intuitive, if he used a rope and circled it around really fast to make it appear to "float".
      Or even one of those ribbons that they twirl in the olympics. That would make it really clear.
      The bar makes this circular motion invisible, because the waves are very small and traveling through the bar.
      And because the RPM is so high, these tiny waves are enough to create this same "lasso" effect, where it seems light it's "floating" by magic, but's simply the same effect you get from spinning a rope around, where it appears to be "floating".
      So, he's really holding a "rope" or "ribbon", but you can't see it's micro-motions within the steel.

Wrong, there is no gravity, it is the AETHER particle, pushing down. Here the betrayal of humanity began, and from here all science began to be conditioned. These damn physicists, omitted the primordial particle AERHER, for not being able to measure their strength, now lately they started to verify that something was there and they gave it beautiful names, such as vacuum, black matter, climbing wave, etc. but they never managed to reach it, they need to break the damn laws of thermodynamics and that would unmask all the betrayal of humanity.

    Literally, it's not an AG. It is clear that the spinning wheel tries to throw its weight distributed to different direction rather than falling directly in one direction down to earth . For sure the scale will reduce (your weight + wheel) but not less than your weight.

      It would still have gyroscopic motion but it wouldn't be hard to move it over ones head as in this example. But remember that in space while things don't have weight they still have mass so moving a large object would present some difficulty as it "pushes against you" when you attempt to first push it, depending on it's mass of course. But gyros are used in satellites because of this motion. There are wheels on X, Y, and Z axis to move the satellites alignment depending on the spin of those wheels. The James Webb has it also.

      +Fluoride is bad for your teeth In theory any drill could spin 1 ton weights to 2000 rpm. It's more a question of how long it would take to bring it to that speed. In fact, if time is of little concern, a human powered bicycle could spin it up to that speed. It would take a well designed transmission though since humans can't pedal anywhere near 2000 rpm. Here's a basic design: start in a 1:1 gear and pedal up to 60 rpm, then shift to a 2:1 gear and pedal from 30 rpm back up to 60 rpm, then shift to a 3:1 and pedal from 40 rpm back up to 60 rpm. Keep this up until finally you reach a 34:1 gear, then you just have to pedal from 57.1 rpm to 58.8 rpm and then you have yourself a 2000 rpm 1 ton weight.

    When it's a dead weight your hand, wrist, arm, shoulder, torso, etc. has to control all 6 degrees of freedom. When the weight is spinning the 2 rotational DOF in the plane of the disk get prescribed. Rotation towards the ground, is very slow (let's just say it's locked out) and the precession is a constant rate. The only rotational DOF you have to control is the spin axis of the disk, the easiest direction for your wrist and forearm muscles to control. It's noticeably easier for you to lift the weight when it has 4 DOF than when it has 6.

    STEP 1.
    Increase the speed of rotation around the body.
    The gyroscope begin to rise due to the gyroscopic effect.
    The arm feels the full weight of the gyroscope, but remains motionless.
    The axis of the gyroscope tilts.
    STEP 2.
    Decreases the speed of rotation around the body.
    The gyroscope begins a slight falling motion.
    Immediately lift the gyroscope rod, which is no longer heavy, until it becomes horizontal.
    The two steps are resumed.
    From these combined movements results the SUBJECTIVE feeling that less mechanical work has been done to lift the gyroscope. In reality, the mechanical work is the same, but forces with other orientations come into play.

He backed all sorts of crackpot ideas, persistently derided physicists, and concealed the sources of his own 'discoveries'. He must have known very well that this demonstration was nearly 200 years old. I consider Laithwaite to have been the worst case, of a crackpot infiltrating the scientific establishment, since Trofim Lysenko. And I shall be saying that in a forthcoming book.

      he needs to wait becay’use of the centric weightless pendlum whos willing to gain speed while gravity want it to take it as half of the rotation, Thats why he needs to wait 39 sencond

    what you need is an in closed places spining cyculer with a brushless elc motcenterfuage helumn argon xeon . rember that blimp that the us lit up on germens how heavy was it .alumunum is a lot lighter plus you can compress more volume .magnatrons to agatate particals .you can buy these thing for tasers that if it was a dubble hull emls purple lightning could hit its ground points sequenchely. you see these things different colors different gases.

    When we swing around the wheel, the wheel itself uses the body of the man holding it as a fixed point to the Earth and tries to reach the vertical creating its own uplifting force. Thats why it feels lighter. It not only deflects the pull of Gravity but, at the same time, converts it into work to erect itself into the vertical position, where it needs the least amount of energy to keep spinning.
    The system Earth-Gyroscope is an intelligent phenomenon, much more intelligent than those who try to explain before the could even understand it.

    I've heard that "flying saucers" use anti-gravity, and don't we see them spinning in place? Co-incidence?

    Did you know that all rotating metals induce a electrical current, Earth induction coil, I also think that the anomaly of a coil attach to a rotating magnet still creates a electrical current is connected to this as well

  • @kabeloalbert8646

    I think the trick here lies in rotation, As the wheel spins it moves away from the support, if it was not held in position by some sort of screws it would have flown out and away thus meaning since it's rotating outward if raised above the heard, at a certain angle it would be as if it's flying away thus making it seem as if it's lighter

    @veritasium - He was obviously trying not to die or injure himself... so, for better results in this experiment he'd probably need to aquire or assemble a gimbal/counter device's so the fly wheel isn't running away... or, move with it with more precision (at the "correct speed") or a platform that that rotates along with the flywheel rod.

  • @gracemember101

    Maybe the flywheel is canceling the constant downward pull of gravity. Did your scale measure your weight plus the flywheel or your weight alone? What if you constructed a machine with mercury instead of steel as is proposed for flying saucers?

      It is fun when this principle is used to make a flying soccer alien flying ship with using small wormhole creater that latest techno nd mercury as a fuel to that and we Indians had built a building or to be exact our temple look like flying ship could carry 50 people I just remembered that carving in that temple watching this video

      No, it doesn’t cancel gravity. We know the dynamics of the problem and can predict what will happen with math beforehand.
