Why Doesn't A Magnet 'Feel' Like A Gyroscope?

[Eighthman]

If you pick up a spinning gyroscope or any spinning mass, you will feel or see the effects of inertia and centrifugal force. The gyro will resist your efforts to twist away from the plane of its rotation.


OK, so why don't all permanent magnets do this? Do electrons have mass? Are they spinning? Are those spins aligned ( as the REASON WHY it has a magnetic field)?

I wonder if the answer to this question could open up some very important discoveries.

but perhaps some of them work as a gyro?

If the electrons generating the magnetic field were orbiting in the same direction as believed, one would think there would be some sign of a gyroscopic effect. Because there is no gyroscopic action one might wonder what is actually going on right?

One might also wonder why another magnetic field in the opposite direction does not stop the electrons orbit and the best it can do is cause it to spin out of alignment but never stop or dislodge the electron from it's orbit.

The atom's energy appears endless.

You can explain attraction and repulsion really easy - as vortices of spinning movement that push or pull towards each other.


However, this still leaves us with the basic question 'why don't these aligned spins cause the magnet to behave like a gyroscope'?

I was not aware that a magnetic field is made up of moving electrons.  If this were true, then all you would need to do to generate electricity would be to place a magnet near a coil of wire.  We know that you must provide the movement between the coil and the magnet to get a current so, would this not mean then that the field is not made of moving electrons?

I believe that physicists do not really know what a magnetic field is made of...they know everything about how it responds in various situations but, I think the jury is still out on what makes up that field.  I, of course, could be wrong.
