The Thames & Kosmos Gyroscope is a classic scientific tool reimagined with a sleek, modern design.
Explore the fascinating physics of motion, gravity, and forces through hands-on experiments. Discover how gyroscopic forces work—and experience them firsthand. Try out classic tricks like balancing the gyroscope on a tabletop, a stand, or even a string. Spin it inside the included clear plastic sphere to observe the dynamic forces in action. The sphere also doubles as a stand and convenient storage case.
Each display box contains 12 individually boxed gyroscopes (7.5 cm in diameter) made of durable plastic and metal. Every unit includes:
A clear plastic sphere (stand + storage case)
A 75 cm easy-thread string
A detailed instruction manual
A gyroscope toy works by demonstrating the same basic physics as a real gyroscope—angular momentum and gyroscopic stability—in a simple, hands-on way.
