You should make the pendulum always fall from the same height.
First time without the flywheel turning, the second time with the flywheel turning fast.

Because of the frictions, sooner or later the pendulum will stop, if the number of oscillations is equal in both cases, then I am a charlatan otherwise I am a good prophet deserving of applause.


(I'm Italian, I don't understand English well)

Absolutely. Same hight. I need to buy a couple of hinges first so the pendulum can move in only one plane, and not shift side to side. This is the simplest way to demonstrate your device, which is doing the same thing. Your device prevents the flywheel to twist in the vertical plane due to the gears and bearings that keeps it horisontal while the flywheel spins in the vertical plane. And this is the very reason the gyro effect isn't working. It works only when X, Y ans Z axis is free to move in every direction. Your device locks one axis, and therfor it will not take energy to keep it running.


I will be gone in an RC airplane event tomorrow, so I cannot buy hinges then. I have packed my tiny red car with two RC-planes (One BeachCraft T34 and one PA Katana), redy to go tomorrow morning. I must do something fun once in a while too LOL :-)

This is the first proof. If you want another proof where the flywheel is horizontal, not vertical, please let me know.
Notice that the ballbearings in the flywheel cause the flyeheel to twist a little bit. It is done intentionally so you also can see how the gyroscopic effect works in the flywheel.
A 100% firm bearing will not cause this twist.

Many thanks for the test.

I counted 18 swings with the flywheel stopped, with a flying flywheel I couldn't count well because you put your hand in front.

Then I could not see the fulcrum above which could not see the rotation axis B.
What was it costing you to put away the video camera a bit?

Then the bearing must be 100% rigid.

In that case, while the flywheel is spinning, the number of oscillations should be less than 18, otherwise what is written on the books is not true, ie is not true that gyroscopic effect keeps the rotation axis in space.

I can for sure take another video further away. That crossed my mind too when I watched the video, because I could possibly do something outside the camera to fool anyone. I didn't, but to receive your trust, I will take the camera further away. The smartphone camera capture a relatively narrow space, but I will try at the same time as I can reach the pendulum with my hand.
I need some other bearings. I have a pair of larger bearings that I can use, but I must first print two adapters so they can fit perfectly. Those bearings I have in the video are too small, and the red 3D printed adapter got cracks because the flywheel isn't 100% balanced. I will balance it well, and do another test. OK?

Printing new adapters for larger bearings.
