## Overview

The Thames & Kosmos Gyroscope is a modern take on a classic physics tool, featuring a 3-inch metal and plastic rotor that demonstrates angular momentum and gyroscopic forces. It includes a 30-inch pull-string starter, a clear plastic sphere that doubles as a stand and storage case, and a 6-page manual with 5 hands-on experiments. Designed for ages 8+, this durable STEM toy offers an engaging, tactile way to explore motion, balance, and gravity — perfect for curious minds and lifelong learners.

## Description

This timeless scientific instrument has been reimagined in a fresh, new design. Experiment with the gyroscope to learn about the physics of motion, forces, and gravity. Discover gyroscopic forces firsthand — and see and feel them in action. Have fun getting your gyroscope to do classic physics tricks. Make it balance on a tabletop, on a stand, on your fingertip, and even on a string. Spin the gyroscope inside the included clear plastic sphere to feel the forces acting on the sphere as you roll it — and when playtime is over, the sphere doubles as a storage case for your gyroscope. The gyroscope has a 3-inch diameter and is made of durable plastic and metal. The kit includes a clear plastic sphere (which also functions as a stand and storage case), a 30-inch string, and a 6-page instruction manual with 5 experiments. Recommended for ages 8 and up.

Review: Good - Good
Review: Excellent gyroscope - I love giving gyroscopes to kids to play with so they can see and feel how the forces work but have always been frustrated with the cheap metal ones we all had as kids. This is an excellent alternative! It's very well balanced and spins for a very long time. The "hamster ball" as my kids call it is a nice addition as well. You can mount it inside the ball and spin it up and then roll the ball. Of course, due to the gyroscopic effect, the ball will only roll in a perfectly straight line. If you try to roll it 90 degrees off axis, it won't roll at all. I'm very glad to finally have found a good quality gyroscope that is priced at a level you can gift it as a toy.

## Features

- TIMELESS INSTRUMENT, NEW DESIGN: A classic gyroscope reimagined in a fresh, modern style. Spin it up and watch the weighted central rotor demonstrate the surprising physics of angular momentum, balance, and gyroscopic motion.
- SEE AND FEEL THE FORCES: Experience the same principles that keep bicycles upright, stabilize airplanes, and steer the International Space Station. The heavy rotor builds greater angular momentum, so it spins longer and resists tipping.
- 5 CLASSIC PHYSICS TRICKS: Balance the spinning gyroscope on the included stand, on your fingertip, on a taut string, inside the sphere, and even on a box corner. The pull-string starter gets it spinning fast and smooth every time.
- A SPHERE THAT DOES IT ALL: The clear plastic sphere works three ways — spin the gyroscope inside it to feel the forces through your hand, use it as a display stand, and store the gyroscope safely inside when you're done.
- BUILT TO TEACH, BUILT TO LAST: Durable plastic-and-metal construction with a 3-inch rotor, 30-inch string, and a 6-page illustrated manual explaining the science behind every experiment. A great STEM gift for curious kids ages 8 and up.
