I have 2 gyroscopes that are aligned on a common plane. The first one is larger than the second and the second resides inside the first. The first one is proportionately less dense to account for it's size and therefore, both discs have the same kinetic energy. Also both gyroscopes are attached to a similar axis with the ability to spin independently, but their orientation in respect to one another is fixed.
Taking these variables into account, if one were to spin each gyroscope in an opposite direction, would they cancel each other out?
In a second configuration, there 3 gyroscopes aligned to an x, y, and z plane at 90 angles to one another and with a common center and locked orientation.
Now if I were to spin the x, y, and z axis clockwise, counter-clockwise, and clockwise what would be the result? How might other rotational setups affect the behavior?
I have no previous knowledge of gyroscopes and I am operating purely on logic. In depth explanations would be appreciated.
