Tedco Gyroscope

Wind the string, give it a pull, let your gravity-defying Tedco Gyroscope go!

Give your child the wonder of a toy gyroscope just like the one you played with when you were little! Produced since 1917, the Tedco Gyroscope has been a classic educational toy for generations. The Tedco Gyroscope continues to fascinate young and old alike with its mysterious force that seems to defy gravity. An excellent tool to teach gyroscopic inertia, the gyroscope will provide hours of creative play. Gyroscopic technology is used in numerous applications of everyday life such as in guidance and navigation systems for ships, airplanes and spacecrafts; for accurate mapping and surveying; in oil drilling and even motion picture making.

Do these other astounding tricks...
Place the spinning gyroscope on a tight wire or string, on the edge of an unbreakable drinking glass. On the edge of a yardstick or ruler, or on the edge of any sturdy surface.

Place the spinning gyroscope in its plastic box. Close the box and place the box corner on any surface. Watch the box spin around and around.

Place the spinning gyroscope so that it balances on the horizontal frame member. Place a second spinning gyro on the end of the first and they will maintain balance and position together.

Suspend the spinning gyroscope in a loop made by doubling the string. The gyroscope will maintain any angle above or below the horizontal at the bottom of the loop.
