Gyroscope

This application shows the principle of a gyroscope.
If the wheel is not rotating, the wheel will fall down.
But if the wheel is rotating, the wheel will spin around the vertical axis in a horizontal plane.
Control objects              :
- Rotation                   : The wheel is rotating around a horizontal axis
- Radius                     : Radius vector
- Force                      : Gravity force on the wheel
- Torque                     : τ = r x F
- Angular Momentum           : L = Iω
- Change of Angular Momentum : dL/dt = τ
- New Angular Momentum       : Lnew = L + dL
- Txt                        : Text on the vectors
- Formula 01                 : Formula at the top of the simulation window
- Formula 02                 : Formula in the simulation window
