Laboratory Level 2 (SEMM 3931)

• Experiment 1 is Gyroscope

A gyroscope (from Ancient Greek γῦρος gûros, “circle” and σκοπέω skopéō, “to look”) is a device used for measuring or maintaining orientation and angular velocity. It is a spinning wheel or disc in which the axis of rotation (spin axis) is free to assume any orientation by itself.

• Experiment 2 is balancing of rotor

Balancing is the process of attempting to improve the mass distribution of a rotor, so that it rotates in its bearings without uncompensated centrifugal forces. This is usually done by adding compensating masses to the rotor at prescribed locations.
