| A14-8 | Simple gyroscope. |
| Purpose: | To demonstrate conservation of angular momentum. |
| Description: | Because of the large moment of inertia of the wheel and the small friction of the bearings, this gyroscope will run for a long time when given a large angular velocity. |

| Equipment: | Gyroscope and stand. The gyroscope is given a large angular velocity by a hand-held motor with a rubber wheel. |
