AronYstad replied to the thread I I never fully understood gyroscopic precession - toppling gyroscopes.So if we disregard friction, the more angular momentum it has, the slower it topples over? -
AronYstad replied to the thread I I never fully understood gyroscopic precession - toppling gyroscopes.I still don't understand. Take the example in my original post where the wheel spins extremely slowly, say 1 revolution per year...

AronYstad replied to the thread I I never fully understood gyroscopic precession - toppling gyroscopes.Yeah, I know that that is the case. I know that it does precess. My question was about why it still eventually topples over and doesn't...
