The critical part of a gyroscope is the spinning wheel, which an electric motor keeps it spinning at a rate of more than 20,000 rpm. A gyroscope wheel cross section will vary in different gyroscopes, but the general design aim is to provide the greatest moment of inertial consistent with adequate strength and heat dissipation. 3, record 1, English, - spinning%20wheel%20motor
