In #MESExperiments 22 I have repeated Experiment 21 by making sure the casing does not rotate as the gyroscopes rise thus confirming that some gyroscopes can in fact rise much quicker when extra weight is added.
The earlier Experiment 21 involved comparing a gyroscope with no added weight with that of a 30% by-weight added putty gyro test, in which the added weight gyro rose by almost 3 times faster.
Since the gyro spin speed was very fast, the casing of the non-added weight gyro was rotating rapidly during rising while the added weight gyro did not experience casing rotation.
After criticism that the casing rotation may causing the slower rising rate of the non-added weight gyro test, I have repeated the experiment by adding a small 5% by-weight putty to ensure the gyro casing does not rotate.
Thus in this video, I compare the same gyro without casing rotation for a 5% by-weight added putty with that of a 30% putty; and as expected the heavier added weight gyro test rose 2X faster.
