gyroscope

>>By the way, the Confuser does get it wrong, sometimes, like when it says that the properties of a gyroscope depend on its rotational speed and centre of gravity. Yeah... that makes sense.<<

Actually, it is near. The properties of a gyro depend on:
- rotational speed
- the DISTANCE between the centre of gravity of the CROSS SECTION of the wheel and the axis
- mass of the wheel
