About this item
Spoked wheel with weighted rim for demonstrating conservation of angular momentum. Simple to use due to small wheel radius and ease of suspension. Teachers and students can feel the conservation of angular momentum as they hold the spinning wheel while sitting in a rotating chair or standing on a rotating platform. You can also create the effect of precession by spinning the bicycle wheel and hanging it from a string.
