hi all :
when you look at the "long wirewalker" video posted by M Magyar
and the one about the gyro-cycle top posted by Ta0
there's an obvious connection : to show , prove , demonstrate , the ingenuity of humans against the forces of the universe : defying gravity !
one wonders why this metal toy doesn't fall off the rail, we almost wish it would do
with the long wirewalker there's an additional notion of danger: the kids lined-up as in a sacrifice ; it provides a strong dramatic effect to the gyroscopic forces behind...
a good gyro-flop, with a long standstill produces the same kind of effect ,
conclusion ? i don't know , to be continued ....
