VSauce, why do we always wake up right before the best part in our dreams?

Vsause: "This head ain't comin off!" Isis militant: "hold my goat"

I am 73 years old. 55 years ago I took physics 101 and got an "A" but this is the first time in my life that I have really understood centripetal force and the Coriolis effect in my life. Thanks Michael!

"Lesson 5... This truly was a roundabout path.. Thank you, Gyro..."

"...or wazzz uuuup, as the cool kids say now a days." I was that cool kid in 2002

Waazaaap I'm a cool kid now

4:11 "When a car urine.." Ah, yes, intellectual captions

It's impressive how Michael is able to cut out such a perfect circular cardboard disc

I suddenly have a great urge to buy a gyroscope

I want Michael to personally explain Quantam Physics to me.

11:33 When the cavemen first discovered a wheel

I was bad at science as a kid, not due to lack of curiosity but because I have trouble focusing on things that are not immediately engaging. I'm shocked with how interesting and clear these explanations are! I feel like this really makes sense. I wish science was taught this way at school.

I spent a year in high school learning what could have been explained in 16 minutes.

0:12 King Louis XVI seconds before death

Jokes aside, can we take a moment to appreciate how kind he is doing this for Alzheimer's research

"Do you want my head delivered to your door in a box?" "Uh...no..." "WELL TOO BAD" "Why did my doorbell just ring?"

Michael pls. no one says wazup nowadays XD

*"wazab, as the cool kids are saying"*

I really like the way this was explained step by step with visuals, rather than just having us plug numbers into formulas

That wheel tire demonstration will never not be awesome

I like how he posts this right after my circular motion physics exam

why isn't V-sauce on the UKposts rewind?

This video came out on my 12th birthday, I’m 18 now and vsauce is still my go to comfort youtuber ❤️

This is one of the most efficient educational videos on UKposts. Afer learning physics in school and university (not my main subject) I had to turn 40 to finally understand precession.

"Mom! Vsauce broke my mind again!"

Hey I got a box! What could be... "Hey Vsauce! Micheal he..." *AAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!*

I am a student pilot who needs to understand about gyroscopes for flight instruments and for how propellers behave. This is the only video out of the dozen or so I watched that actually taught me why gyroscopes behave the way they do, and it did so in an entertaining and engaging fashion. Thank you Michael!

Amazing! First time I have heard a somewhat intuitive explanation for the “90 degrees ahead effect”

Gyro approves

1st Vsauce video that I can partially understand.

*”Arigato, Gyro.”* - Johnny Joestar

People say VSauce came out a different man after Mind Field. VSauce before Mind Field: "DO YOU WANT MY HEAD DELIVERED TO YOUR DOOR IN A BOX?"

We're so lucky. Getting cool lessons from the greatest teachers of our species while drunk in your underwear.

UKposts Red is the greatest betrayal on the internet

I actually heard about helicopter rotors (and gyroscopes in general) "feeling" forces 90 degrees after the force was applied a while back and was very confused. Turns out I already knew why that happens, from doing orbital maneuvers in ksp. I just never thought about connecting the dots between orbital mechanics and helicopters. I love physics.

Wow mikle sounded really disappointed when he used earth doesn't spin fast enough for that. 15:50

0:14 Michael: This head ain't never coming off! ... Or is it...?

Seems to me every new Vsauce video has more dank memes in em

After many years studying this topics, and after years watching Vsauce, this continues to be the BEST EXPLANATION I've came across. Hail Michael!! Huge thanks!

It's always a treat to have a foreigner pronounce Hungarian stuff correctly :) The way you said "Eötvös" was spot on.

I don't know, Michael. It just seems like you're going around in circles in this video.

"This is a cardboard disk, I cut it myself" Good job Michael Good job

Been on UKposts for hours trying to grasp this you’ve done it in 11 minutes thank you!

I am studying mechanical engineering, It's my first time to understand Coriolis ever thanks alot man, I appreciate your magnificent skills of delivering information ❤️

How the hell can people still think that the earth is flat

I’m living in Spain, but the “A” is silent

12:40 This is an incredible way to intuit the Coreolis Effect. I never quite pictured it before. Thanks!

I have now learned that vsauce videos aren't to be clicked for the title of thumbnail, they just are all good and I'm never disappointed

video idea "How much is an 'instant'?"

“This head is never coming off!” Or is it?

The part where you talk about if you blow on one side of a gyroscope, it tilts 90 degrees offset. That is also why a helicopter rotors does not make the input on the left blade to tilt right, but actually the input changes the pitch on the blade 90 degrees offset of the blade that would "logically" be the correct blade to pitch.

when you pretend you understand the video so you don't hate yourself

that moment you realize you learn more on the internet than on school itself

What makes this stuff so great is that Vsauce doesn't OVER explain things. They focus on the simple straightforward explanation and repeat it a couple times. Reenforcing it. Pushing you to that "aha" moment. That's why it's better to keep explanations short and to the point. Instead of going on and on and on and on and on and on and on until the person is like "what was this person talking about?"

Thank you for making physics fun and easier to understand

never before have I clicked on a video and the first words that came out of the person's mouth were "do you want my head delivered to you in a box?" "too bad."

7:45 He seems so proud of himself.

It’s also the same thing with helicopter rotors. I saw a video similar to this a few years back and all the years of “you explained that it does but not the why” were so simply answered.

What an astounding communicator Michael is.

Would be a sick new design for a beyblade.

Michael has some weird "cool kids" in his area..

The rewatch ability of Michael's content is amazing

i just love you so much , this is so informativ and entertaining at the same time :D

The Coriolis Effect is my personal favorite QED with flat-earthers, because it's not some abstract thing. You can literally go out in the desert with a rifle and watch as your bullets land in different places depending on which direction you're shooting.

0:17 The *Neckst* best Thing...

Think it was Scott Manley who was talking about a Russian rocket with launch issues. After a little while, some sort of surprise abort ejection? A monitoring system was active and monitoring gyroscopes. After sitting on the pad for a bit, the earth rotated enough where the computer, reading the gyroscopes, thought the craft was tilting too much and aborted (though relative to gravity it was straight out, or up).

From what I have observed the gyroscope (or in my case a bicycle wheel) wants to flip just like a wing nut wants to flip when it's spinning in space, but the orbital speed causes it to, instead rotate on the Y axis.

7:42 I cut it out myself 👏 congrats you're a big boy now 😂

I like to spin the gyroscope and put it in my belly button.

Best Disc Golf explanation of disc "stability" ratings/attitude, ever! When thrown, the disc should be relatively flat, if the leading edge is higher, air hit the bottom front more, disc leans = overstable disc. And, visa versa.

I had to learn about the coriolis effect for flight school. It never made sense, your explanation was fantastic

That paper airplane example was so inaccurate, for that to happen I would need a friend.

"I've run out of air" Don't panic everyone it's easy to find.

Very good video. Great explanations, graphics, and really well presented.

This is my first Vsause video I definitely love this guy's style (at least, 2016 Vsause. I haven't watched anything recent yet)

Is it just me or are the thumbnails low-key modern art?

0:17 "The *_necks_* best thing"

We had our"Great Gyroscopic Experiments at our national guard facility on a boring day. We found some small parts that we engineered to have perfect balance, etc.. we spun them up using various methods. Some rwould stay up for a good 10 minutes before tipping over

I love this show this guy is great explains what I know n can't express n also teaches me to helping me reach a better understanding

"This head ain't never comin off."

If spinning things are so stable, why is my life fragile, unstable _and_ spinning out of control? HEY, MICHAEL?!

Vsauce: but hey, that's just a force, a centripetal force Vsauce physics theory, alternative universe Oh so we enter quantum mechanics now

I saw a kid on a plane with a gyro just like this and I asked him where he got it. It was from the Boeing gift shop in Washington state and I lived like 20 minutes away from the place. My dad took me there to get one, but it was a really nice one and cost 100$ so I had to wait until my birthday. I never had such a hard time waiting for my birthday before, or since then. I absolutely loved that thing and it probably is what really planted the seed of my fascination with science. That seed grew into a lifelong passion for the STEM fields, particularly those of math and nuclear physics.

I wanted to learn Gyro's spin with steel balls. Worth it!

7:45 "I cut it out myself" *Looks at disk* Wow, that's impressive. Edit: *looks at comment section* what have i started

man you are awsome plz make more physics videos like this

I've known the Coriolis effect affects ballistics for a little while, but I never really grasped the concept. I'm gonna have to rewatch this because I suspect the Eötvös effect has an affect on a projectile as well.

damn i just learned 3 months of physics class in 1 vid

2:51 for some reason this made me really scared for a moment

These explanations are so good.

THANK YOU for not glossing over WHY force and torque are perpendicular to rotation. Never made sense to me until today bless you!

Was literally just packing a bowl and this popped up. Perfect timing

My friends johnny and diego told me about a guy called gyro who knew some very cool spinning tricks

I came *(holds fingers one nanometer apart)* _this_ close to attending one of the Brain Candy events. But, unfortunately, school schedules got in the way, as we would've had to travel to get there. I hope something like this tour can happen again in the future; maybe I can actually be there this time!

When the gyroscope tilts at 9:38 because of gravity creating a torque on it, The gyroscope behaves the same way an AC MOTOR does. Like in an ACMotor With each coil being energized at different times to rotate magnets , the same principle can be applied with the gyroscope with gravity, the gravity pushing on different ends of the gyro which in turn creates a consistency to keep the gyro moving .

Much self promo... But if anyone deserves to do a lot of self promo, it's Vsause XD

7:44 impressive.

It is curios how the bicycle wheel precesses opposite the direction you'd expect the wheel to go if it where on the ground. In the demonstration, the wheel is spun up counter clockwise from the perspective of the camera, and from a top down view precesses clockwise. If the wheel was given the same spin and tied to a point on the ground, it would precess the opposite direction. While hung, it precesses as if it is was rolling on the ceiling.

Why am I watching this at 5am in the morning. Now I need to learn more about inertia, centrifugal force and life
