When Walter Lewin spins a bicycle wheel and suspends it by one end of its axle, it creates a striking demonstration of the conservation of angular momentum. As the wheel spins, it develops angular momentum—a vector quantity that resists changes in its orientation. Gravity tries to pull the wheel down, creating a torque. However, instead of the wheel falling, the torque causes its angular momentum vector to rotate, resulting in a slow circular motion known as gyroscopic precession. This phenomeno

The Way Everything Works on Instagram: "Professor Walter Lewin famously demonstrates the gyroscopic effect by showing how a rapidly spinning wheel can defy ordinary expectations of motion. In his lectures, Lewin often sits on a low-friction platform holding a spinning bicycle wheel, and when he tilts the wheel’s axis, instead of falling over due to gravity, the wheel causes his entire body to rotate. This striking behavior occurs because of conservation of angular momentum: the spinning wheel re
