: What forces would result from a variation of gyroscope momentum ?

265 viewsOtherPhysics

Let’s imagine a gyroscope with a hollow tube as an axis, with the axis stuck from an end and free from the other

We spin the gyro and we actually move the free end of the axis up and down (over and over, quickly (or slow)) on a specific line in one same plane (imaginary)

Q: What forces would be created inside the hollow tube/axis ?

there might (will?) be resistance to be “felt” but what else ? (heat? or deformation of a solid piece if we put a solid piece inside the hollow tube?)

and thank you all for any answers !

Gyroscopes are rotating energy. If it moves back and forth there is no change in angles or rotating energy.
