Does a gyroscope work better if it is heavier or if it spins faster?

All I know is that if the Gyroscope's wheel is heavier it will precess faster and if it spins faster it will precess slower.
But I'm not sure if slower or faster precession creates a more stable gyroscope.

Why does the 2nd floor of my house shake when the washing machine spins?
It most likely shakes when it spins because when it washes, the load gets greater or heavier on one side. As a result, when it spins centrifugal force causes the heavier load to overcome the weight of the washer, causing it to spin.
Why is a washing machine drum round?
so it spins faster
What is the application of the centrifuge?
A centrifuge spins a material, usually liquid, at a high speed to separate the heavier components from the lighter components. The heavier components are pushed to the bottom and the lighter components stay at the top.
How fast wind turbines spin?
It depends on how hard/fast the wind is blowing- the harder/faster the wind blows the faster the wind turbine spins
What happens to the angular speed of a star as it shrinks?
It must spin faster in order to conserve angular momentum ... the same reason that a skater spins faster when he pulls his arms in close to his body.
Does a drive perform better if it spins faster or slower?
The drive performs better if it spins faster.
How is boomerang a gyroscope?
It spins around its own axis in flight, so it mimics the spinning of a gyroscope. This adds stability to its flight.
What drive ratings information you got from SANDRA does a drive perform better if it spins faster or slower?
Performs better when it's moving faster.
How does an airplane gyroscope work?
A gyroscope in an airplane is firstly a gyroscope, so it works by maintaining its orientation in space. The instruments in an airplane that use a gyroscope are the attitude indicator, the heading indicator and the turn coordinator. The attitude indicator and heading indicator's gyroscope runs when the vacuum pump on the airplane sucks air in and over the blades to cause the gyroscope to spin. When the gyro spins rapidly (up to 18000rpm) it aligns itself upright and the airplane's instrument aligns itself.
Which planet spin faster?
mercury spins faster.

Why does a mouse when it spins?
because the harder the faster!
Why does Jupiter rotate faster than Venus?
Because Jupiter is so big, it spins faster.
How will gyroscope behave at south pole?
If it's lubricated, then the greese in its bearings may freeze at certain times of the year. If it spins at all, then it will behave exactly as it does anywhere else on Earth.
How fast does Saturn spin?
Saturn spins faster then earth
What is the name of the planet that spins faster then the other planets?
Jupiter
