If the gyroscope is not spinning, it acquires angular momentum in the direction of the torque, and it rotates about a horizontal axis, falling over just as we would expect.

This torque creates a change in angular momentum \(L\) in the same direction, perpendicular to the original angular momentum \(L\), thus changing the direction of \(L\) but not the magnitude of \(L\).

It is easy to translate the box in a given direction but difficult to rotate it about an axis perpendicular to the axis of the spinning disk, since we are putting a torque on the box that will cause the angular momentum vector of the spinning disk to precess.
