A gyroscope consists of a wheel mounted on an axle aligned along a north-south direction. The south end of the axle is suspended by a rope attached to the ceiling, and the north end is manually held at rest. The wheel is spinning rapidly, so that its angular momentum vector points north. Suddenly the north end is released. Since there is spin, the north end of the axle will begin to move
