  • I think that it counteracts the force of your arm, holding it up. You experience this as an upward force on your hand, making it feel lighter. Precisely as when you get the left or right forces that moth has described so well in the bicycle wheel situation. Note that in the two examples, drill and wheel, the axes of rotation are not the same.

    To quote a mass media figure of persuasive power: "simplez".

    I was actually referring to the point where the gyroscopic action of the motor counter acts the 'weight' of the drill.
