Dzhanibekov Effect

Authors: Nainan K. Varghese

A free gyroscope, on or near another large macro body and asymmetrically loaded along its spinning axis (in the horizontal plane), will continue to precess about an axis passing (vertically) through its centre of mass and perpendicular to the spinning axis. The action of resultant gravitational attractions between basic 3D matter particles in both the gyroscope and the large macrobody is through a point on its spin axis away from the centre of mass. A similar effect appearing on a spinning body in a gravity-less environment and moving in a linear direction across its plane of rotation appears as the ‘Dzhanibekov Effect’.
