Frequently Asked Questions

The set contains the gyroscope itself, a pull-cord for launching the rotor, a small balancing pedestal, and an instruction sheet. No batteries are required, so children can start experimenting straight away.
Wind the pull-cord around the axle, then give it a sharp, smooth tug to set the 65 mm rotor spinning at speed. Once spinning, place the tip of the axle on the pedestal or on a piece of string stretched between two points to watch the gyroscopic balancing effects in action.
Gyroscopes are a core component in aircraft navigation systems, ship compasses, and smartphone orientation sensors - the same physics the Space Wonder demonstrates. This makes it a useful conversation starter for children curious about how the science connects to the technology they use every day.
