The Dzhanibekov effect

The Dzhanibekov effect is a clear demonstration of Poinsot’s theorem on the instability of rotation around an axis with an average moment of inertia. This effect is especially good to observe in zero gravity, but we do experiments that demonstrate and explain this effect in terrestrial conditions. Key words: moment of inertia, inertia tensor, mean axis theorem.
