Figure 8.6a

This elongated gyroscope undergoes direct precession

The ratio of J3/J1 = 0.5

The user is able to change the constant nutation angle using the slider.

The user is able to change the constant spin rate using the slider.

Any change made by the slider causes changes in the following:

1. Blue angular velocity vector
2. Transparent red space cone
3. Transparent green body cone

If the checkbox is checked the camera sees the scene from the viewpoint of the rotor.

The body cone is deliberately not smooth in order to observe its "rolling" around the space cone.
