Well they both serve two diff purposes. A gyro is supposed to resist movement in all direction.
A pendulum uses gravity as a way to keep itself moving.
Ill argue that yeah its weird that most of these require a electromagnet to keep moving, but technically the experiment can be done with a large enough setup. You only get a few hours of movement which only equates to a few inches on the pendulum.
A gyroscope (from Ancient Greek γῦρος gŷros, "round" and σκοπέω skopéō, "to look") is a device used for measuring or maintaining orientation and angular velocity. It is a spinning wheel or disc in which the axis of rotation (spin axis) is free to assume any orientation by itself.
pendulum, body suspended from a fixed point so that it can swing back and forth under the influence of gravity. Pendulums are used to regulate the movement of clocks because the interval of time for each complete oscillation, called the period, is constant.

It is not an experiment. Just an observation, proves nothing and it never can prove anything.
An experiment requires you to be able to manipulate the independent variable in this case the earth's rotation.
