Theory of gyroscopic effects for rotating objects
Abstract
Scientists began to study gyroscopic effects at the time of the Industrial Revolution. Famous mathematician L. Euler described only one gyroscopic effect, which is the precession torque that does not explain other ones. Since those times, scientists could not explain the physics of gyroscopic effects, Recent studies and the method of causal investigatory dependency demonstrated, that the nature of gyroscopic effects turned out that be more sophisticated than contemplated by researchers. The external torque acting on the spinning objects generates the system of the eight inertial torques and their interrelated motions around axes presented in the 3D coordinate system. The interrelated torques and motions of the spinning disc were described by mathematical models, and validated by practical tests that explain the physics of the gyroscopic effects based on the kinetic energy conservation law. The inertial torques generated by the centrifugal, and Coriolis forces, the change in the angular momentum, and the dependent motions of the spinning object around axes constitute the fundamental principles of the gyroscope theory. The derived gyroscopic theory opened a new chapter in the dynamics of rotating objects of classical mechanics that should be presented in all word encyclopedias.
