. Educational and Research Benefits Besides the educational benefits obtained by the students participating in the engineering developmentwork, many more students will benefit from demonstrations and experimentation with the completed apparatus.The concepts of precession and nutation of a body spinning freely in space are typically difficult for students tograsp because of the inability to illustrate these concepts effectively using conventional methods. Computer sim-ulation can help but even this approach is inherently two dimensional. An apparatus which reproduces themotion in the classroom or laboratory greatly facilitates understanding of the dynamics involved. Understanding is further enhanced by allowing the students to conduct
