"Try this. Get a bicycle tire and put a couple of handles on the hubs. Spin the tire as fast as you can and sit down on a revolving chair (except make sure the chair is still). Turn the spinning tire over.
What happens? You'll find you can get some pretty good fine control on just how fast you spin and how fast you stop by the angle you hold the tire at"
wheres the reaction to this spin?
if i spin by using my feet on the ground there an oposite and equal reaction in the Earth spinning the oposite way than the chair
i can't see any reaction in this case at least not oposite in spin to that of the chair
now imagine this
you have the wheel with a certain angle, not vertical
and the wheel winds and rewinds because it has a string in the inside
the wheel spins 100 revolutions in one sense and another 100 in the oposite sense
so while the wheel spins in one sense the chair rotates to one sense and when the wheel turns oposite sense the chair rotates oposite sense
now try this:
when the wheel has almost completely winded up make the angle be the symetrical so now the rotation of the chair is in the same sense than initially
and when the wind up is about to rebound the oposite sense again correct the angle once more so precesion always has the same sense
wouldnt the wheel acelerate constantly the rotation of the chair by using the work of moving the angle of the wheel?
what would happen if you don't aply work to change the angle of the wheel but you gear it with the spin of the wheel ?
it doesn't make any sense to say that the wheel would acelerate the chair that would acelerate the wheel
