What motion does the torque produced by earth's gravity impart to a vertically spinning bicycle wheel?

If the wheel is balanced, then gravity produces no net torque on the wheel. The weight of every tiny
bit of the wheel on one side of the pivot ... trying to make the wheel turn one way ... is exactly matched
by the weight of a tiny bit of the wheel on the other side of the pivot, trying to make the wheel turn
the other way.
A balanced wheel freely suspended in the field of earth's gravitation doesn't spontaneously begin to spin.

Does a gravity machine exist?
That depends; what exactly do you expect such a "gravity machine" to do? * Any mass will exert a force of gravity. * Artificial gravity (an imitation of gravity) can be produced through quick spinning. * Other types of "artificial gravity" appear in science fiction stories, but they don't appear in current technology, and it seems unlikely that they will be, any time soon.
Is gravity acting on a moving bicycle?
Of course.
Which force acts on a body thrown vertically upwards?
Gravity
Does Gravity have any effect on a spinning top?
yes
What is the name of the force that slows a spinning coin down?
Gravity.
Is gravity not produced when the earth spins which then goes to the center of the earth?
Gravity seems to be an inherent property of mass; the more mass, the greater the gravity. It has nothing to do with the spinning of the Earth.
What are some forces that effect the path of the ball?
Gravity, air resistance, force produced by the spinning of the ball.

How does hydro-power form?
Hydro-power is electricity created when water is forced by gravity from a dam and through turbines. The spinning turbines turn generators, and electricity is produced.
