In this understanding, the spinning top exhibits the usual rotation. When it wobbles, you start seeing how precession and nutation come into play (when we speak of the "precession of the equinox ...

Sir John Herschel says in his “Outlines of Astronomy” that the motion of precession ... of the nutation increases with the extra weight. A series of experiments was made by spinning a small ...

On the other hand, the precession of the spinning egg about the vertical axis is caused by the normal force (from the table pushing up on the egg), rather than friction.

Through their rotation of the magnetic moments, the so-called magnetic precession, single electrons can mutually influence each other's rotation (spin) through a non-magnetic intermediate layer.

"Interestingly, these interactions also cause spins to acquire inertia, leading to an additional type of spin oscillation called nutation." Barsukov explained that nutation occurs at ultra-high ...
