Hello TheoriaApophasis
I just watched your 3 vids (Explaining Gyroscopic Levitation) let me say thanks for that.
But consider this. Gyroscope is spinning clockwise, you rotate string counterclockwise and gyro rises. ok good stuff but when the gyro continues to flip and is upside down it is then spinning counterclockwise and your hand is also still rotating counterclockwise.
It appears to me it is a matter of perspective. Looking down from above the gyro is spinning clockwise but from underneath looking up the gyro is spinning counterclockwise. So the important thing maybe where the gyro is attached to the string, on top then clockwise spin, if attached at bottom then counterclockwise spin for a counterclockwise rotation of your hand.
Just an observation.
