What is the name of the song in the beginning?

[@EugeneKhutoryansky]

@@abhirajsingh960 Symphony_No_5_by_Beethoven from the free KZbin audio library.

[@kennybassarath7168]

Great job. This is the best explanation I've seen for precession so far.

[@EugeneKhutoryansky]

Thanks for the compliment.

[@prokokex1365]

Yeah... now I can sleep peacefully.

[@aleksej79novosibirsk]

Me to! :)

[@deshantdevkota2563]

True

[@FarhatGuitarOfficial]

Totally agree!! The best!! Uber been watching several explanation in english and spanish but this one is simple the best

[@winterbird4069]

You guys deserve more credit for the things you do

[@EugeneKhutoryansky]

Winter Bird Thanks for the compliment. Perhaps one day this will happen.

[@EugeneKhutoryansky]

Felecity Rex, I appreciate the offer, but no, I do not presently have a donations page. If you want to help out, the best way to do this is simply by sharing my videos, and encouraging people to subscribe to my channel. But thanks for the offer.

[@winterbird4069]

+Eugene Khutoryansky you could create an account for patreon or subbable, and we could help fund your videos

[@EugeneKhutoryansky]

OK, I just created a Patreon account, and added the link to it on my KZbin home page. I don't ask my fans to donate money, but I really do appreciate the fact that some people want to do this, and now I will be able to actually accept. Thanks.

[@EugeneKhutoryansky]

In case, you have not already seen them, I also uploaded several other videos recently. As always, for each video that you like, you can help more people find it in their KZbin search engine by clicking the like button, and writing a comment. Lots more videos are coming very soon. Thanks.

[@realcygnus]

Eugene Khutoryansky yet another great one !.....btw what software do u make these with ?

[@EugeneKhutoryansky]

realcygnus Thanks. Glad you like it. In reply to your question, I make the 3D animations with "Poser."

[@chayankhan2615]

Please make videos on hologram and how it works.. Please please...

[@JohnDlugosz]

I got Poser 3, now twenty years ago! It would produce models for export (which I fed to POV) but was not itself an imaging tool or worked with general shapes like Blender etc.

[@BobMarley-hc8ft]

Eugene you are a boss.

[@seanwiesen7418]

Really clear explanation. Thanks as always, Eugene. I'm just gonna say it - you are simply the best physics teacher on KZbin. I dare anyone to prove me wrong. ;)

[@EugeneKhutoryansky]

+Sean Wiesen, thanks for that really great compliment.

[@davidbanner3724]

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but gyroscopic precession never occurs when the floor is removed, or the table to set the gyro on, or a pedestal to put a gyro on top of. When none of that is present...the gyro just levels out and stays perfectly still. But you guys know this right? Precession only occurs when the entire weight of the gyro is resting on a table or the floor or a precious pedestal, acting as a fulcrum point/pivot point for the Precession to begin happening. The BOTTOM of the Gyro has to remain STATIONARY, having all of it's WEIGHT on the SURFACE of a TABLE or FLOOR or PEDESTAL for Gyroscopic Precession to even have a PLACE to happen. Wow yall missed that one by a long shot. It went right on by you, it's was right in front of your faces the whole time. Precession doesn't occur without a stationary pivot point at the bottom.

[@9bananenschalen632]

But, when the girl push a little bit, then angular momentum will have later a different direction and the angular momentum increase so the ring increase the speed and the ring it had more moving energy . And force *distant=energy but the finger doesn't move so we only have the force (the same as the gravity).where does the force come from?????????

[@9bananenschalen632]

I mean where the energy comes from?

[@blankie1832]

Is this principle available for a MEMS vibrating Gyroscope?

[@juano3000]

I do not understand why do you complicate so much explanation. It is a simple cross product of resulting vectors. The angular momentum is a perpendicular force, resulting from the interacting forces on the ring. When you apply a force, the resulting vector will always be a force in a perpendicular plane to the previous to considered forces. Gyromechanics 101.

[@Arobinek]

Спасибо за Ваши видео уроки и старания! Эти уроки идеально подходят для развития интуиции при изучении нового предмета и особенно полезны при преподавании студентам.

[@aravindhsm1287]

11 minutes was all what it took? Hands down the best explanation on youtube Thank you so much.

[@EugeneKhutoryansky]

Thanks for the compliment about my explanation. I am glad you liked it.

[@Xenoxsis]

Eureka! The first video I've seen that explains properly exactly what gyroscopic precession is, and how it works :) Very good video - like for you.

[@EugeneKhutoryansky]

Thanks. I am glad you liked my video.

[@ghawk1232]

"Angular momentum definition, the product of the moment of inertia of a body about an axis and its angular velocity with respect to the same axis." --elinformativo .us Sounds to me like angular momentum is from the moving material inward toward the axis, not from the axis upward as shown.

[@antonahlstedt2899]

Thank you for your videos! The combination of 3D animations and clear narration make learning so much easier.

[@EugeneKhutoryansky]

+Anon Ranger, thanks. I am glad that you like my videos.

[@grace.florejost4611]

Couldn't recommend this channel more your videos always help me when I struggle tu visualize an effect

[@somean11]

Best explanation that I've seen yet on this topic. So helpful that you started with forces that act tangentially to the plane of rotation, and THEN you went on to forces that act perpendicular to that plane. Makes so much sense. Thank you so much.

[@EugeneKhutoryansky]

Thanks. I am glad you liked my explanation.

[@seandafny]

I might be falling in love with this channel. Damn y'all do a good job. This gone come in handy reading feynman y'all got every mf thing on here.

[@Hahalol663]

Beautifully visualized, very good job! Please keep doing videos like these!

[@EugeneKhutoryansky]

Panda Pandemic Glad you liked it. Thanks. Lots more videos are on their way.

[@mrx42]

I've been wondering what was the physics explanation behind the chasing of the torque by the angular momentum vector. You've just give me the answer. Brilliant, as usual, thank you professor Khutoryansky.

[@logosicaro9681]

El mejor canal para entender los conceptos naturales y fisicos de la materia el tiempo, espacio y energia. Lo unico que faltaria es que todos los videos esten subtitulados en castelleno.

[@Kaslor1000]

You, Sir, are doing an amazing job with this channel. Best explanantions I've seen on KZbin so far.

[@EugeneKhutoryansky]

VaDRitoX Thanks for that really great compliment. I am glad that you like my explanations.

[@de0509]

Thanks. Always been wondering how these things work. The fact that everything is explained slowly and one by one makes it so much easier to understand.

[@de0509]

These stuff arent covered in my country's secondary education. Optics too

[@EugeneKhutoryansky]

de0509 Glad to hear that this made the topic easy to understand. Thanks.

[@mrigankanath3791]

So lucid and so clear. Your videos are enlightening.

After so many videos, nothing happened.... Now after watching yours I finally got how gyroscope works.. Thank you!!!

[@EugeneKhutoryansky]

Glad my video was helpful. Thanks.

[@Slow-Biden9]

Thank you, I understand it now. I watched several other videos on it and it made some sense, but this clarified everything the most. 10/10. Love all your videos

[@EugeneKhutoryansky]

Thanks. I am glad my video was helpful.

[@ricardolc814]

Thanks for this video, I really mean it. I've always had this concern about gyroscopes and torque since I was a child. It's the first time I heard someone explain it so well. Totally suscribed.

[@EugeneKhutoryansky]

+Ricardo LC, thanks for the compliment, and I am glad to have you as a subscriber.

[@user-di4bt7qu2i]

Every time I watch one of these videos, I learn a lot. Every single one. Thanks.

[@EugeneKhutoryansky]

Thanks. I am glad my videos are helpful.

[@daspotato895]

When reading about this for flying (to understand how several of the instruments work), precession was the one thing in the instruments section I couldn't quite visualise, and this video was incredibly helpful in making it make sense.

[@EugeneKhutoryansky]

I am glad my video was helpful. Thanks.

[@alicaljungberg3742]

4:12 gave me an eureka moment of finally understanding gyroscopes intuitively for the first time. It's really all about the change of linear momentum of the atoms within the object, as they drag each-other along with their chemical bonds.

[@EugeneKhutoryansky]

+Alica Ljungberg, glad I was able to help with your eureka moment.

[@mujahid4764]

Wow! What a great expleation! I have been watched a lot of vidoes, but non of them make this topic clear. You did very well! THANKS

A far better explanation then half a dozen other videos I found before this. You have a great gift for explaining such concepts in a way people understand. What software do you use to make the 3D graphics and animation?

[@EugeneKhutoryansky]

Thanks for the compliment. I make my 3D animations with the software "Poser."

[@jiml7265]

Great job! This was really helpful. Question though: You say the direction of the angular momentum vector indicated the axis of rotation. Isn't this only true of angular velocity is about a principal axes? If there are products of inertia, angular momentum doesn't have to be parallel with angular velocity, right? Correct me if I'm wrong. Again, thanks for the great animation.
