Switch Mechanism When Spinning the Magnetic Gyro Wheel.

This document is a study conducted by a group of first-year engineering students on the magnetic gyro wheel toy. The study aimed to build a model of the toy and analyze its physics. The document presents equations and calculations to determine the necessary angular velocity and holding force of the wheel. The students found the assignment challenging but inspiring, and the document suggests further investigations and questions for discussion. The author, Bjarne Schmidt, is an experienced physics and mathematics teacher at the University of Southern Denmark. [Extracted from the article]
