- Update (4/29/2023) - below is a link to the STL files for recreating this project:
www.thingiverse.com/thing:599...
In this video I'll show how i made a powered gyroscope that can travel along a monorail or tightrope. I'll explain how angular momentum keeps the
gyro upright, even when gravity or other external forces try to knock it over.
The gyro uses an 8" diameter flywheel printed with PLA, with 21 1/2" steel bolts around the edge to dramatically increase the moment of inertia.
Some performance figures:
Motor KV: 620
Motor Voltage: ~15V
Motor Speed: ~9,000 RPM
Flywheel Speed: ~3,000 RPM
Flywheel moment of inertia: 0.0138 kg*m^2
Flywheel kinetic energy: 680 J
Flywheel angular momentum: 4.3 kg-m^2/sec
Drive motor speed: ~120 RPM
The drive motor has plenty of torque to climb a steep incline, but traction is a major limiting factor, so the best i could manage was 10-15 degrees on a tightrope. In the future, I'd like to build a rack & pinion rail for the gyro to travel on so that it can go up extremely steep inclines without a problem.

The motor i used is out of production, but pretty much any other brushless motor of a similar KV will work fine.

Totally underrated channel
Its not underrated ppl just dont watch this stuff
@@michaelStrikess22zpeople do tho
Agreed
Agreed its undermeowed! i wonder if he made free energy machines before!
If the whole contraption was a motor by itself i think i will float like a UFO!
Underrated = good. overrated= bad
My favorite part was calculations before making. I am over 30 years in engineering but it is always a feeling like magic that whatever you calculate works exactly as pre-calculated. I like you stuff man! Keep doing your engineering magic!
As a mech eng student, I found the whole process fascinating, more please sir! Thank you for using metric units 😅
Just discovered your channel, really awesome projects man!
Definitely going to be binging your videos for the forseeable future :)
I really enjoyed the explanations of the physics stuff, thanks for including them.
Boy I love how you accurately point out what causes the noise. These little information let me acknowledge peoples education on subjects or objects!
Wow! Really good job! Continue with your amazing projects!
Wonderful projects on this channel! Love the detailed information. Thx
Your channel is about to blow up, I'm calling it. Your content is excellent.
Still waiting.... but I agree with you, this is a criminally under-subscribed channel.
It will get there, great science Ed with mad scientist projects, just a matter of time
@@xntumrfo9ivrnwf getting there!
TH-cam is not pushing quality content anymore. THey just want people to watch shorts
THey even stopped the scroll bar in desktops, so that people will click on 'Shorts'
Totally love the explanations in your videos, please keep making more
Loved the project and your explanations.
Keep it up!
Love your projects.
What a beautiful project. I love your videos. Thanks for sharing.
Love the project! Please keep posting
Brother you spend so much time for us is appreciable.
Wow!!! Awesome project! Congratulations 👏
Excellent video and impressive concept as always 👍
I love that you included and explained the maths and physics behind it!
This is really cool. I just love the physics behind this project.😊
This is a beautiful contraption! Cheers
Great work!
Very nice project! Excellent flic. Thank You for sharing.
This is fantastic. Thanks.
Thank you for a great intro to gyroscopic formulas!
Mesmerising little machine! Well done, enjoyed the video
Awesome project!
Theory + practical = awesome 💯
So cool! your videos are awesome
great channel. good explanation.
Nice job!
I just came across your channel. Instant subscribe!
Criminally underrated channel!
I bet FBI surveys this guys home for his "other" projects..
Cette magnifique prouesse sur le radiant de la Gravité est formidable c'est génial ❤
Keep up the good work
lol Awesome! Love that you explained the physics too! That brought me back to my college days.
Exceptional ideation construction and explanation ! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
beautiful
Cool upsize project. 😀
That very impressive. It almost looks like you know what you are doing! Ha ha ha. I love today's technology, 3d printin' n such! Thanks for a great video.
Really cool video, love the way how to do the calculations before designing something, many TH-camrs should learn from you…
Looks amazing!
Kinda made me remember my childhood day when I built something like this.
Excellent jog bro!!
I’m going to show this to my students. We are just covering rotational and circular motion. I’ve recently 3D printed a walking robot that uses a gyroscope (spinning columns of pennies) and uses the precession of the gyro to rotate and take its next step. I just need to find a few more screws to finish putting it together. This is an awesome project! Keep up the great work!
Just a thought, could you setup a gyro stable enough to measure the earth’s rotation? If you mount the gyro horizontally (the spin axis is parallel to the ground) and allow it to rotate perpendicular to its flywheel, it might pick up the earth’s rotation.
How would that make it measure earth’s rotation- and wouldn’t it be too small?
Not only can you, but that's where a gyroscope gets its name from! It allows you to observe (scope) the rotation (gyro) of the Earth (by maintaining the spatial orientation of its axis). Also for maximum effect, I would mount it with its axis perpendicular to Earth's axis. You should see it "change orientation" at 15 degrees per hour. You may need a high quality gyroscope though...
Now that you have something new to share with your students, I need to see your walking gyroscope to share it with my students! (I get the idea though, and might be able to come up with my own version of it.)
Super impressive
You can increase grip on the rope if the driving wheel has a V-shape profile instead of C shape.
Awesome and fun!
Glad you explained the basic principles in terms only hard core engineers could understand. We wouldn't want ordinary plebes getting ahold of and using these secrets.
I love how you describe all the physics !
i think he must be a retired engineer from some US Nuclear Military Research Institute or NASA
Superb!
this is amazing
impressive!!
awesome project i love the physics behind this..
impressive
Great and awesome invention
Great man...! 🎉
I subscribe whenever I see a good engineering channel
Damn! Amazing work! High IQs for sure
amazing!!!
Increíble, felicidades. Dios nos bendiga
grate erudition
You are genius!!
Awesome.
Amazing
Great stuff. Well done. Try adding a layer of silicone or butyl to the drive wheel for more grip. Let it mostly dry then use it. It will smooth off the silicone. I've done the same for upper side of the heel area of sandals, let it mostly dry then wear them, and it's still pliable enough to conform to my heel. Set aside and let it finish hardening.
I loved it
Awesome!
Next level genius!!!
That is sick
Thanks !
Looks and sounds like some kind of an alien, I love it
very cool
Ive been enjoying the crap out of your videos
Wow my friend, nice video.
C'est ingénieux 100%👍
Your contant are Awesome
Respect👍🙏
I'm now expecting a Gizmoduck (Ducktales) like mode of transport. A self balancing, motor-gyro uni-bike. That's were my mine went anyway..
Great build and video man!
This is rocket science!
Immediately subscribed within the first 30 seconds 😂
What a fantastic invention!!! reminds me of some type of futuristic robot!!!
whoaaaaaaaaa, thanks dude. wowwwww.
so original idea
This guy's a Bubble buddy - He made me learn math while enjoying it!
Why your views and likes so low. Here take my Upvote. Great job man, expecting your next project.
Woowww..
I've watched many clips of your Cilp. Maybe I think you're an alien. Is it with us people of the world? Hahaha 😂
You are amazing and multi-talented. much respect bro...
FC from Thailand
hes probably a retired NASA Nuclear scientist will a lot of free time on his palms 🐱👍🏿
Love the adult toy! Would be cool to see this self balance on a ball roller or mecanum wheel for movement... like the Jetsons.
i also love adult toys!:D
Utter sorcery! we should apply these magicery on motorcycles as well!
A lot of physics, lot of maths behind such a toy....Great video..btw.
the motor goes brrrrrrrrr
That's so random and badass
You sir, are a freaking genius! You leave nothing to trial and error & calculate every parameter. You don't happen to work for NASA down there?
you deserve front page recommendations. Not sure why your channel not as huge as the other tinkerers like Tom Stanton. Maybe make some plane vids :P
***** I cant believe it. Im Hypnotized, 👁️
its sorcery! He learned it all from Gargamel
To the Front Yard Scientist,
thank you for the effort you put into trying to make it clear to us. Where did YT hide you for two years?
I discovered your channel yesterday and will probably need another week to have seen all your videos :-)
Greetings from Germany
hi Dutch58, have you become a flat earther yet?
Having not taken or seriously used Physics in 25 years your crash run on the equations was actually understandable and refreshing. fantastic demo
If you need weights for further experiments, you can get tungsten-carbide pieces from McMaster-Carr, such as balls and cylinders. The density of TC is 14.5 grams per cubic centimeter, compared to
Excellent work. May I suggest you try putting it on a bicycle chain so it doesn't lose grip on the slopes.
I can tell from the vegetation you're a fellow Florida Man
i didnt see any alligators around
Yes, channel owner deserve thanks.
I wish I had your creativity
sure u can! join the north korean nuclear missile project as a volunteer for 2yrs
