so you cannot produce a free standing gyroscope that isn't tucked away behind a black box, that demonstrates the curvature of the earth. is that correct?

No, I do not own any gyroscopes.

nor can you produce a video of one.

by the way, it is obvious when you are avoiding the spirit of my question.

So? You produced one.

I produce everything, you give nothing but claims.

I produced a non-moving gyroscope outside a blackbox type enviroment.

I produced a moving gyroscope inside a blackbox type enviroment.

What you can't produce, is a gyroscope, outside a blackbox enviroment, that moves.

You don't do anything. You look at youtube videos and decide which ones you like and which ones you don't like.

So what?

ANY youtube video can be manipulated...even the ones that you like.

produce a gyroscope, outside a blackbox enviroment, that moves.

because what you are saying is that everyone else is lying.

i say you are lying, and worse, you know it.

Well, I did a little bit of research about this since you are so concerned about this. They don't use mechanical gyroscopes to measure the rotation of the earth. They use ring lasers. Do you know how large these ring lasers are? They were originally several kilometers or miles in circumference, back in the 1920's and 1930's. But with the advance of computing power and accuracy, now the most advanced and accurate ring laser is about 4 meters around. You can't go out and buy something like this. The largest commercially available ring lasers are about 10 centimeters around.

It turns out that small mechanical gyroscopes such as the ones in your videos are easily overwhelmed by non-inertial forces such as friction, viscosity, etc. I would not trust the results of any such small gyroscope when trying to determine the rotation of the earth.

This is probably why you won't see any videos of a toy gyro showing the rotation of the earth. If you want to see a real ring gyro in action, head on over to the University of Canterbury in Christchurch, New Zealand.

Interesting, I learned something today.

1920's and 1930's

wow, that is amazing, since

The first laser was built in 1960 by Theodore H. Maiman at Hughes Research Laboratories, based on theoretical work by Charles Hard Townes and Arthur Leonard Schawlow.source

You can't go out and buy something like this.

hahahahahahahaha... go figure
