Gyroscope properties are used in many engineering calculations related to rotating parts in aerospace, shipbuilding, and other industries, and numerous publica- tions have been dedicated to gyroscopic eects [5, 6]. Funda- mental textbooks and publications about classical mechanics describe gyroscopic eects in Eulers term of the change in angular momentum [79]. Nevertheless, previous analytical approaches are based on several assumptions and simplica- tions that lead to theoretical uncertainty about gyroscopic eects [10, 11]. Mathematical models for gyroscope prop- erties in publications do not match the practical applica- tions of gyroscopic devices [1215]. All rotating objects of movable mechanisms manifest gyroscopic eects that should be computed using engineering methods. From this, researchers have coined articial terms such as gyroscopic eects and gyroscope couples, and they have established non- inertial, nongravitational properties that contradict the prin- ciples of physics. The physics of gyroscopic eects are more complex than presented in the literature. The external torque applied to the gyroscope produces a system of eight inertial torques generated by centrifugal, common inertial, and Coriolis forces, as well as by the change in the angular momentum of the spinning rotor.

The physics of gyroscopic effects are more complex than presented in existing mathematical models. The effects presented by thesemodels do not match the real forces acting on gyroscopic devices. New research in this area has demonstrated that a system ofinertial torques, which are generated by the rotating mass of spinning objects, acts upon a gyroscope. The actions of the systemof inertial forces are validated by practical tests of the motions of a gyroscope with one side support. The action of external loadtorque on a gyroscope with one side support demonstrates that the gyroscope’s upward motion is wrongly called an“antigravity” effect. The upward motion of a gyroscope is the result of precession torque around its horizontal axis. The noveltyof the present work is related to the mathematical models for the upward and downward motions of gyroscopes influenced byexternal torque around the vertical axis. This analytical research describes the physics of gyroscopes’ upward motion andvalidates that gyroscopes do not possess an antigravity property.

1. Introduction

The applied theory of gyroscopes emerged mainly duringthe twentieth century due to the vast application and inten-sification of the rotation of numerous spinning objects inengineering [1–4]. Gyroscope properties are used in manyengineering calculations related to rotating parts in aerospace,shipbuilding, and other industries, and numerous publica-tions have been dedicated to gyroscopic effects [5, 6]. Funda-mental textbooks and publications about classical mechanicsdescribe gyroscopic effects in Euler’s term of the change inangular momentum [7–9]. Nevertheless, previous analyticalapproaches are based on several assumptions and simplifica-tions that lead to theoretical uncertainty about gyroscopiceffects [10, 11]. Mathematical models for gyroscope prop-erties in publications do not match the practical applica-tions of gyroscopic devices [12–15]. All rotating objectsof movable mechanisms manifest gyroscopic effects thatshould be computed using engineering methods. From this,researchers have coined artificial terms such as gyroscopiceffects and gyroscope couples, and they have established non-inertial, nongravitational properties that contradict the prin-ciples of physics.

The physics of gyroscopic effects are more complex thanpresented in the literature. The external torque applied tothe gyroscope produces a system of eight inertial torquesgenerated by centrifugal, common inertial, and Coriolisforces, as well as by the change in the angular momentumof the spinning rotor. The actions of the system of inertialtorques around the axes of the gyroscope are interrelatedand manifest all gyroscopic properties that were previouslyunexplainable. Today, the physics and mathematical modelsof gyroscopes’ inertial torques are well described and havebeen validated [16–20]. However, the new analytical approachstill has some mathematical errors. Some publications pointout mathematical models’ inaccuracy when dealing with theinertial torques acting on a gyroscope [20]. In engineering,several load torques of gyroscopic devices can act in differ-ent directions around their axes of rotation. The interre-lated actions of the internal and external load torques onthe gyroscope pose a solvable scientific and engineeringproblem. The novelty of the present work describes anaccurate mathematical model for gyroscope upward motionunder the action of external torque and explains the physicsof the gyroscopic effect that has wrongly been called an“antigravity” property.

2. Methodology

Recent investigations into the physical principles of gyro-scopic effects have led to mathematical models that can beused to assess a system of inertial forces acting on a gyro-scope. New mathematical models of internal torques havedescribed new gyroscope properties and behaviours of gyro-scopic devices. The action of external load on a gyroscopegenerates resistance and precession torques originated bythe rotation of the mass-elements of the spinning rotor.The mathematical models for the inertial torques acting ona gyroscope are presented in several publications [16–20].One publication contains incorrect mathematical modelsfor the interrelation of external and internal torques actingon a gyroscope [20]. The action of the system of interre-lated inertial torques around the axes of the gyroscopeshould be considered carefully. Analyses of the interdepen-dent sequence action of the external and inertial torquesenable the physical principles of the gyroscope motions tobe formulated. The actions of the system of torques and theireffects on the gyroscopic stand have been considered, and therelated technical data have been published [20]. The mathe-matical models for gyroscope motions are presented viatwo examples of the actions of external and internal torqueson the gyroscope with one side support for its horizontallocation. For simplicity, the actions of frictional forces onthe supports and pivot are not considered. Two mathemati-cal models of gyroscope motions provide a clear picture ofthe physics of the acting external and internal torques. Thefirst mathematical model considers the action of the externalload torques, described as the torque Ty acting on the gyro-scope around axis oy and the torque T of the gyroscopeweightW acting around axis ox in a counterclockwise direc-tion. The second mathematical model considers the externalloads described as the action of the torque Ty in the clockwisedirection around axis oy and the action of the torque T of thegyroscope weight in a counterclockwise direction around axisox. This constructional peculiarity of the gyroscope standgenerates a unique combination of acting inertial torquesand different motions.

2.1. Case Study 1. The mathematical model for the gyroscopemotions considers the action of the load torque Ty around

axis oy in a counterclockwise direction and the load torqueT =Wgl generated by the weightW of the gyroscope aroundaxis ox. Under these conditions, the action of the externalload torque Ty generates a system of inertial torques thatact around the axes of the gyroscope (Figure 1). The actionof the load torque Ty generates the following inertial torques:

(a) The resistance torque Tr:y = Tct:y + Tcr:y generated bythe action of centrifugal Tct:y and Coriolis forces Tcr:y

around axis oy in a clockwise direction (i.e., in theopposite direction of the action of load torque Ty)

(b) The procession torque Tp:y = T in:y + Tam:y generatedby the common inertial forces T in:y and the changein the angular momentum of the spinning rotorTam:y originated at axis oy but acting around axis oxin a clockwise direction (i.e., in the opposite directionof the action of the gyroscope weight T). The value ofthe torque produced by the gyroscope weight T islower than the value of the resulting inertial torquesTrstx = Tp:y − Tr:x − T acting around axis ox. The lat-ter (Trstx) causes the upward motion of the gyroscope

(c) The procession torque Tp:y around axis ox, in turn,generates the resistance torque Tr:x = Tct:x + Tcr:x ofcentrifugal Tct:x and Coriolis forces Tcr:x aroundaxis ox. These torques move in a counterclockwisedirection and augment the action of the gyroscopeweight T

The action of the resulting torque Trstx = Tp:y − Tr:x − Taround axis ox produces the precession torque Tp:x = T in:x +Tam:x generated by the common inertial forces T in:x and thechange in the angular momentum Tam:x originated on axis ox but acting around axis oy and added to the resistance torqueTr:y around axis oy, which results in the resistance torqueTrst:y = Tr:y + Tp:x.

The actions of loads Ty and T change the values of inter-related inertial torques acting around two axes. The action ofthe external torque Ty generates precession torque Tp:y ,which acts around axis ox, which is opposite to the actionof the gyroscope weight T . This situation leads to decreases

in the value of the resulting inertial torque Trst:x and the pre-cession torque Tp:x acting around axis oy. The changes in thevalues of the inertial torques are equal because they expressthe internal kinetic energies. This change is expressed bythe coefficient of the change in the inertial torques aroundone axis and is explained by the following expression:

η =Tp:y − T

Tp:y= 1 − T

Tp:y= 1 − Wgl

2π2 + 9ð Þ/9ð ÞJωωy

" #, ð1Þ

where expressions of the inertial torques [16] and the torqueproduced by the gyroscope weight are substituted into Equa-tion (1). All components are as specified above.

The coefficient η represents the decrease in the value ofprecession torque acting around axis oy when the value ofinertial torque around axis ox decreases. This dependencyreflects the interrelation of the inertial torques acting aroundtwo axes. An analysis of Equation (1) results in the followingvalues of the coefficient η:

(i) The absence of the load torque T acting around axisox means that the coefficient is η = 1:0 (i.e., there isno change in the value of the inertial torques actingaround two axes)

(ii) The action of the load torque Tmeans that the coef-ficient is η < 1:0 (i.e., the values of the inertial actingtorques around two axes decrease)

(iii) When the load torque is equal to the precession tor-que (T = Tp:y), the coefficient is η = 0 (i.e., the gyro-scope does not turn around axis oy but insteadturns around axis ox under only the action of thegyroscope weight).

This peculiarity should be represented in equations of thegyroscope motions around two axes. A mathematical modelhas been developed to assess a gyroscope’s motions that arecaused by the action of the external and internal torques. Thismodel involves corrections based on the interrelated actionof the inertial torques and is presented by the followingEuler’s differential equations:

Jydωy

dt= Ty − Tct:y − Tcr:y − T in:x + Tam:xð Þη, ð2Þ

−Jxdωx

dt= T − T in:y − Tam:y + Tct:x + Tcr:x, ð3Þ

where ωx and ωy are the angular velocities of the gyroscopearound axes ox and oy, respectively; Tct:x, Tct:y, Tcr:x, Tcr:y,T in:x, T in:y, Tam:x, and Tam:y are the internal torques gener-ated by the centrifugal, Coriolis, and common inertial forcesand the change in the angular momentum acting around axesox and oy, respectively [16]. The sign (-) of Equation (3)means that the motion occurs in a clockwise direction. Allother components are as specified above.

Equations of inertial torques [16] and Equation (1) aresubstituted into Equations (2) and (3). The components

of the torques generated by centrifugal Tct:y and inertialT in:x forces that have the same expression are removedfrom Equations (2) and (3). The simplification and mod-ification of these equations are similar to the solution pre-sented in the manuscripts [17, 18], wherein this process isjustified in detail. Modified equations are presented by thefollowing system:

2.1.1. Working Example. The components of a gyroscopewith one side support move under the action of the loadtorques Ty and T , which are generated by the gyroscopeweight and act around axes oy and ox, respectively. Thevalue of the first torque Ty is half the value of torque T(i.e., Ty = 0:5Wgl). The actions of the torques and motionsare presented in Figure 1. The technical data related to thegyroscope is presented in the manuscript ([20], Table 1).Equation (7) is the equation of the gyroscope motion aroundaxis oy. The ratio of the angular velocities around two axes iscalculated using Equation (6). The angular velocity aroundaxis oy is defined by the following solution. Substituting theinitial data of the gyroscope [20] and the data presentedabove into Equation (7) yields the following equation:

where the sign (-) of Equation (17) means the gyroscope pre-cession around axis ox is in the clockwise direction, i.e., thegyroscope moves upward.

The torque Ty acting around axis oy leads to slow coun-terclockwise rotation around axis oy and causes the intensiveprecessed clockwise rotation of the gyroscope around axis ox.The gyroscope moves upward from its horizontal location.This effect serves as practical evidence of the absence of theantigravity property.

2.2. Case Study 2. The mathematical model for the gyro-scope’s motions is considered for the same gyroscope standand technical parameters presented in Section 2.1, CaseStudy 1. The difference is the clockwise action of the load tor-que Ty around axis oy. Under this condition, the actions ofthe gyroscope internal torques and motions are as follows:

(i) The load torque Ty generates the resistance torqueTry, which acts in a counterclockwise directionaround axis oy and the precession torque Tpy , whichacts around axis ox in a counterclockwise direction.This coincides with the action of the load torque T

(ii) The action of the torque produced by the gyroscopeweight T generates the resistance Trx and precessionTpx torques. The resistance torque Trx acts in a clock-wise direction around axis ox. The precession torqueTpx acts in a counterclockwise direction around axisoy as the torque T

All acting torques and motions of the gyroscope with oneside support are illustrated in Figure 2.

The equations of the gyroscope torques and motionsaround axes ox and oy are represented by the followingexpressions:

where the sign (-) of Equation (18) indicates a clockwisemovement. All other components are as specified above.

The coefficient η represents the proportional increaseof the precession torque Tp:x around axis oy. The coeffi-cient η is expressed as the ratio of the sum of the preces-sion Tp:y and load T torques to the precession Tp:y torque,which acts around axis ox. The expression η is obtained ina similar way as in Equation (1) and is represented by thefollowing equation:

where η is the coefficient of the proportional increase of thevalue of the precession torque Tp:x acting around axis oy.All other parameters are as specified above.

The coefficient η denotes the increase in precession tor-que Tp:x around axis oywhen the value of the resulting torqueTrst:x around axis ox also increases. Equation (20) demon-strates the following values of the coefficient η:

(i) The absence of the load torque T acting around axisox means that the coefficient η = 1:0 (i.e., there is nochange in the values of the inertial torques actingaround two axes)

(ii) The action of the load torque T means that the coef-ficient is η > 1:0 (i.e., the values of the inertial tor-ques acting around two axes increase)

(iii) When the load torque of the gyroscope weight isequal to the precession torque (T = Tp:y), the coeffi-cient η = 2 (i.e., there is an increase in the value ofthe resulting resistance torque Trtst:y acting aroundaxis oy)

The torque Ty acting around axis oy causes the slowclockwise rotation around axis oy and the intensive counter-clockwise rotation of the gyroscope around axis ox. Theserotations result in a counterclockwise torque around axis ox.

3. Results and Discussion

Mathematical models for the gyroscopic effects lead to equa-tions for the motions of the gyroscope with one side supportfor the main external torque acting around the vertical axis.The models of the gyroscope motions around two axes arebased on the actions of the external and internal torques thatare generated by centrifugal, common inertial, and Coriolisforces. They are also based on the change in angular momen-tum. The new analytical approach to the gyroscopic problemdemonstrates that the action of the external load torquearound the vertical axis generates the precession torques thatturn the gyroscope upward or downward around the horizon-tal axis. These motions depend on the direction of the rotationof the spinning rotor. Mathematical models for the motions ofa gyroscope with one side support in which actions carried outby external and internal torques around two axes are con-firmed by observations made during practical tests.

4. Conclusion

Previous mathematical models for gyroscopic effects containmany assumptions and simplifications that have not beenvalidated in practice. This new study of gyroscopic effectsexamines the actions of the system of inertial torques gener-ated by the known inertial forces of classical mechanics. Themathematical models for the motions of a gyroscope withone side support and the action of counterclockwise andclockwise load torques around the vertical axis explain thegyroscope’s upward and downward motion. The upwardmotion of the gyroscope is not an antigravity property, aswas once thought, but is the result of the action of the

precession torque generated by the load torque. The value ofthe precession torque is greater than the value of the torqueproduced by the gyroscope weight. The analytical modelsfor the gyroscope’s upward and downward motions clearlydescribe the physics of such gyroscopic effects.
