Question

how does a gyroscope work?

Answer 4

the link works but does not really explain the physics behind the nature of a gyroscope

Answer 5

conservation of angular momentum. In physics
there are a few strict conservation laws, and they are very
powerful concepts. Conservation of angular momentum is one
of them. Once a gyroscope is spinning, it has angular
momentum, which is a vector with both direction and magnitude.
The direction of the angular momentum vector will not
change unless a net torque is applied to the system.
An isolated gyroscope has no choice but to "stand up,"
if it wants to exist in our universe.
Of course in the real world of real physical gyroscopes
there are always things like friction in the bearings
that will slow down the rate of spin and therefore change
its angular momentum.
