Equipment


-         1 lazy susan (strong enough to hold a person standing on it)

-         1 bicycle wheel gyroscope: This can easily be made by taking an old bicycle wheel and removing the tire and tube from it. Simply attach handles on either side of the central axis and you have a bicycle wheel gyroscope. For greater effects a hose filled with sand can be attached along the outer rim of the wheel.

-         1 Model Satellite with 3 Power sources and 6 wires: Construction is very complicated and expensive. It is available in the Outreach Lab (Hennings 218) to be used for presentations.
