Thames & Kosmos - Gyroscope

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. 

pin 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.

• 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.
