I was watching a video on propeller gyroscopic effect, please take a look at this 1 minute segment (up to 6:06):

Alternatively, here is a summarizing image from the above video:

Could you please explain mathematically why the person says that, when a force is applied at one point on the gyroscope, its effect gets translated by 90 degrees in the direction in which the gyroscope is turning? Thanks a lot!
