The Super Precision Gyroscope arrived with the Gimbals kit that is comprised of parts used to change around the objectives of the gyroscope itself. The kit includes the following parts:

1 x Platform
1 x Gimbal horizontal arm
2 x Gimbal vertical arms
1 x Centre beam
1 x Gyroscope counter weight
1 x Pin
4 x Screws
1 x Grub screw
1 x Alan key

These parts are used with the Super Precision Gyroscope which is a separate package. The Super Precision Gyroscope come with the parts below but you will need to obtain 4 AA batteries in order to power the motor.

1 x Gyroscope
1 x Electric motor and battery pack
2 x Screws to attach motor to the gyroscope
1 x 'Alan' key for above screws
1 x String and pull handle
2 x Extensions for demonstrations
2 x 'Ball' ends
1 x Slot end
1 x Screw for the battery box

The body of the gyroscope itself is made of very strong stainless steel. The disk that spins is made of solid brass. Both are manufactured with such precision that once the motor is detached during our tests the brass disk spun for over 6 mins. There are virtually unlimited possibilities when testing, playing, or using a gyroscope. As mentioned before the popular Segway uses a gyroscope in order to keep the scooter balance while sitting still or moving. The better the machinery is manufactured the better the gyroscope will perform. We have found that Gyroscope.com provides top of the line hardware for every level of use. Using them to learning about technology or even just for playing around, a gyroscope can be a fun and simple way to learn about the mechanics of technology.
