The wind power gyroscope - AstroMedia
Product number:
441.WKK
Spin without touching - bet?
The name says it all: you can start this spinning top by hand, just like any other spinning top, but there's another way - with the wind!
Thanks to its aerodynamically shaped wings, the wind-powered spinning top can be propelled to ever higher speeds just by blowing vertically, like a high-speed turbine, until all you can see of it is a golden vortex. And with a little practice, you can even start it this way without using your hands!
Instead of the usual pointed base, the wind power gyroscope has a steel ball that can rotate almost without resistance on any solid surface. It is particularly easy to start when it sits on the upturned base of its storage box: a small magnet is concealed there so that it stays in place even when spinning at high speed.
An ingenious design that ensures long-lasting, marvelling playtime fun and also gives a hint of the inexhaustible energy source of wind power.
