The gyroscope is initially balanced in the horizontal direction. The string is wrapped around the pulley attached to the large disk and can be pulled to give the disk some angular velocity. A small mass is attached to the end of the gyroscope, some distance away from the axis of rotation. This causes a torque due to the mass’s weight. Which results in the gyroscope precessing.
