A spinning wheel or disc in which the axis of rotation is free to assume any orientation by itself. When rotating, the orientation of this axis is unaffected by tilting or rotation of the mounting, according to the conservation of angular momentum. These devices are used for measuring or maintaining orientation and angular velocity.

The tennis racket theorem with degenerate eigenvalues $I_1, I_2 , I_3$: Are the rotations ar...

If a rigid body has a symmetry such that two of the principal moments of inertia are equals, i.e. $$I_1=I_2> I_3 \qquad{\rm or}\qquad I_1>I_2=I_3.$$ Are the rotations around the principal axes stable? …
