Magna Gyro (Smithsonian)

Unlock the wonder of rotational science with the Smithsonian Magna Gyroscope, a hands-on physics demonstration tool designed to show how angular momentum, balance and motion interact. Once spun, the gyroscope appears to defy gravity—balancing on its frame, spinning in mid-air or riding along included stands and track edges. Magnetic stabilizing elements help extend the spin for longer, smoother motion, making the experiment visually dramatic and scientifically meaningful.
