Gyroscope Drift Experiment Measures 10.3 Degrees Per Hour Rotation at 48 Degrees North

DEBATE: Flat Earth Vs Globe | MCToon Vs Soli
"He measured the amount of angular change at 48.2 degrees north latitude. The globe predicts there should be 11.2 per hour drift. He did 4 tests and got an average of 10.3 degrees per hour. The globe prediction is 11.1. So it's right there, very close to the globe prediction."
McToon presented video evidence from FE Core-commissioned gyroscope experiments by Steven P. showing 10.3 degrees per hour drift matching Coriolis predictions for that latitude. Sully challenged the experiment by asking if electromagnetic eddy currents from Earth's field could cause the drift instead, but offered no calculation of expected magnitude and dismissed McToon's response that nano-Tesla fields are too small.
