You got big house in Edinburgh?

:shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:

Good grief - even I couldn't live in a space that mad!!! I mean, I get the pink front door, but inside?? WTAF :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:
The wallpaper in the staircase and that carpet :o No way it would be that clean if i lived in that house. I think i would throw up before i reached the 2nd floor << My name is Luka :lol: I would like a wee nose about the house though as i bet its full of interesting stuff with lots of stories. She is also a tad nuts.

They should put gyroscopes in more stuff.

I'm sure it's been mentioned before but the your two motor-sikkle wheels spinning rapidly act like gyroscopes and kid us all into believing we are much better balancing than we really are .

There's more to it than that, I thought it was mainly caster effect but that's still only part of it.

At school in our physics class out teacher gave us a bicycle wheel to old and turn it through a sideways 180arc, iyswim, then he span it and we then had to try and turn it again and so demonstrated the gyroscopic effect!

Up north we couldn't afford wheels. We did it with an 'oop n stick :(

Pretty sure you could make a perpetual motion machine with enough magnets and gyroscopes. Maybe throw in a newton's cradle just to be sure.
