The comments are very spirited and the maker of the video is quick to reply.
One commenter says:
It’s not really anti gravity. He’s just eliminating the lever force multiplication of the weight through the gyroscopic effect, shifting the effective centre of mass.
Here is wikipedia‘s articulation of the effect:
Precession is a change in the orientation of the rotational axis of a rotating body. In an appropriate reference frame it can be defined as a change in the first Euler angle, whereas the third Euler angle defines the rotation itself. In other words, the axis of rotation of a precessing body itself rotates around another axis. A motion in which the second Euler angle changes is called nutation. In physics, there are two types of precession: torque-free and torque-induced.
In astronomy, “precession” refers to any of several slow changes in an astronomical body’s rotational or orbital parameters, and especially to Earth’s precession of the equinoxes
We hope you enjoy the video and only experiement with the supervision of a professional.
Old news
That’s news to me
Now what would happen if a second 19kg oppositely spinning flywheel were attached? Would the assembly still feel light and would the rotational vector cancel?
Fscinating
That’s would be a good way to design a saucer craft. You have a large horizontal spinning tube that holds smaller verticle spinning weights. The centrifugal force will reduce the crafts weight and stabilize it. Now we just need a constant source of energy, rather than a combustible…
Huge gold and silver batterys charged by the sun.
The guys channel on YouTube is veritasium. Hardly “anti gravity”
The Nazis tried something like that before.
Kinda, it failed though.
But then again, we do have more tech than they did.
