Experience angular momentum for yourself! Spin the bicycle wheel, hold the handles, and try to change its axis of rotation. The faster it spins, the harder it is to tip over! Stand on our Rotating Platform to experiment with gyroscopic precession and learn how satellites steer. The Rotating Platform can also be used with hand weights to study rotational inertia, conservation of angular momentum, and action-reaction.
