Where can I find educational mechanical engineering devices?

In summary, gyroscopes use angular momentum to maintain their orientation and are useful for stabilizing objects. Educational toys and demos aim to teach scientific concepts in an engaging way. Homemade toys and demos can be made using online resources and everyday materials. The main difference between a toy and a demo is that a demo is specifically designed to demonstrate a scientific principle. Safety precautions should be taken when using toys, demos, and gyroscopes, such as following instructions and supervising children.
