About this tool

Precession Simulation is a free online visual effect. Earth axial precession 3D animation, 26000 year cycle demonstration. Interactive eye-candy rendered live on your screen. It runs entirely in your browser — no download or sign-up needed.

When opening the page, it will show that a rotating gyroscope is precessing under the action of gravity, and the rotation axis of the gyroscope slowly draws a cone. Parameters such as rotation speed and precession speed can be adjusted.

The whole process is purely front-end animation. The top is drawn based on Canvas, and the motion of the top is calculated using the conservation of angular momentum and precession formulas.

It is suitable for use as a physics teaching demonstration, popularization of precession effects, or purely appreciating the beauty of rotation of precession. The realization principle is the conservation of angular momentum and the precession formula.

Precession is a visual effect that simulates the precession effect of rotating gyros and is based on real-time rendering on Canvas.
