The Tolman-Stewart experiment (1916) showed that when aIn the London Sunday Telegraph of 21 Sept. 1997, Robert Matthews
reports that a team of Japanese scientists have spun up a
gyroscope to 18000 rpm and dropped it through a distance of 63
inches in vacuo. The time taken to fall this distance was 1/25000
sec. longer than when the gyroscope was not spinning,
corresponding to a weight reduction of 1 part in 7000. The effect
only occurred when the gyroscope was spinning anticlockwise.
