Description

This spinning top set is all hand made with the care of a precision instrument allowing the top to be spun at incredible speeds with the help of it’s launcher and centering plate. With practice each spin can last for 8 to 10 minutes.

Fit the stem of the top through the high quality all steel ball bearing in the launcher, wrap the string around the top and give it a pull! The top drops from the handle and into the plate spinning at astonishing speed and dances around the rim until finding perfect center and seems to become still as it stands on its tip, continuing to spin for far longer than the typical gyroscope and most other tops.

When not in use everything fits in its oak base in the style of a writing set. The bottom is covered in black felt. It measures 4 1/2 inches by 7 1/4 inches and there is a place for every piece of this set to keep it all together when not in use.

The spinning top is 1 3/4 inches in diameter and made of brass and aluminum pressed permanently together and machined to perfection by hand as one.

The launcher has an oak wooden handle and a high strength ball bearing. This along with the rip chord with a brass ring allows for the tremendous speeds the top can reach when launched.

The Centering plate is an aluminum concave sphere which corrects any imperfections in the launch and counteracts gyroscopic precession which causes a top to wobble and loose its balance, and brings it to perfect center.

While the spinning top is considered a children’s toy, this is a high tech precision version of the old classic that makes a classy addition to the office desktop, as well as the toy room.

-1 brass and aluminum spinning top.
