Gyroscopes & Tops for Energy Lessons

Give these gyros and tops a spin and explore the forces of rotational momentum and gyroscopic stability. Give PhiTOP a spin and watch it stand up on one end. The Revolution Top is a great demonstration of magnetic levitation, improved by the addition of flashing LED's. The Centripetal Spinner reflects a dazzling rainbow as it spins. Twirl the stick and the thin ribbons spread into a bubble shape. The faster you spin, the wider the bubble becomes! The Light Up Gyro Wheel is a new take on a retro "toy" that mesmerizes while it teaches! Demonstrate the conversion of potential energy to kinetic energy and back again.
