How do I calculate the torque of precession for a spinning wheel?

Click For Summary
The torque of precession for a spinning wheel is related to the external torque acting on it, but it is not simply equal to that torque. The discussion highlights the stabilizing effect of spinning objects, as seen in experiments like the bike wheel. To calculate the force needed to overcome this stabilizing effect, one must consider the angular momentum and the rate of precession. The provided links offer additional resources for understanding the physics behind gyroscopic motion and precession. Overall, calculating the torque of precession involves understanding both the external forces and the properties of the spinning object.

Is it just equal to the external torque acting on the spinning wheel?

Im not sure of the actual name but a spinning object has a stabilising effect such as with the bike wheel experiment. How would i calculate the force required to overcome this stabilising ?
 

Thread 'UV filter for home central heating?'

Had my central air system checked when it sortta wasn't working. I guess I hadn't replaced the filter. Guy suggested I might want to get a UV filter accessory. He said it would "kill bugs and particulates". I know UV can kill the former, not sure how he thinks it's gonna murder the latter. Now I'm finding out there's more than one type of UV filter: one for the air flow and one for the coil. He was suggesting we might get one for the air flow, but now we'll have to change the bulb...
