The experiment included three posts of the same height and one high-powered laser.

Jeran Campanella, Knodel’s co-host also conducted an experiment in an attempt to prove the Earth was flat.Ĭampanella carried out an experiment using light and a laser to challenge the belief that the Earth is curved. “If we dumped what we found right now, it would be bad. He told one Flat Earth community member: “We don’t want to blow this, you know? When you’ve got $20,000 in this freaking gyro. Later at a Flat Earth meet-up in Denver, Knodel refused to accept his gyroscope's findings. “We obviously were not willing to accept that, and so we started looking for ways to disprove it was actually registering the motion of the Earth.”Īfter a few more attempts, the gyroscope continued to return to the same results. He went on to say: “Now, obviously we were taken aback by that.

Knodel acknowledged that the gyroscope’s findings were exactly what you would be expected to find from a gyroscope on a rotating globe. He said: “What we found is, is when we turned on that gyroscope we found that we were picking up a drift.

Bob Knodel, one of the hosts on Flat Earth YouTube channel, used a $20,000 Gyroscope in an attempt to prove the Earth is not on an axis.Ī gyroscope is a device which is used for measuring orientation.Īs the Earth rotates, the gyroscope leans off-axis, staying in its original position as the earth moves around.
