That's it. i guess the wheel will come to rest even if it has a motor maintaining its rpm.
... This will help you fully understand the concept . The motor spins the gyro only and precession would turn the generator.
Round about 100 years. Several treatises with detailed analysis of gyroscope movement have been written at the beginning of the last century, a profound German book by Sommerfeld and Klein "Theorie des Kreisels" (theory of the gyroscope), or Crabtree, H. "An Elementary Treatment of the Theory of Spinning Tops and Gyroscopic Motion". Many can be freely downloaded at archive.org or google books.Precession is easy to understand. Nutation is more interesting and you need understand perturbation theory. This theory is not new and known for about 100 years (perhaps more).
I think I have a better understanding of why precession increases as the wheel slows down. As the wheel slows it loses angular momentum and gravity starts to pull down..
Since there is basically two gyros ( motor + wheel ) and they will be at different distance from the center axis will they have different precession rates
It rotates one direction but rigid the other direction
