SCVJ Gyrotopultimatoy

Last crawled date: 1 year, 10 months ago

A gyroscopic rotor or spinning top with catapulting ability as ultimate toy enabled by my Constant-Velocity Joint (SCVJ) design--that means, no vibration inherent to existing universal joint.

Who would not like his son to be taught easily early on with mechanical engineering (specifically fluid mechanics, pneumatics, precession, power transfer, conservation of momentum/energy, linkages, angular momentum, physical systems), do you? As everybody would like their son prepared to meet every challenges, why not give them the most educational yet very entertaining toy. So, let them have the comprehensive and versatile toy that also combines the engaging attributes of beyblade, whirling spin toy, gyroscope, and the classic cord-wound top and yo-yo: this GYROTOPULT Ultimate Toy.

This dynamic toy can be configured in a lot of ways that anyone with his/her playful inner child would surely expect to experience lots of surprises from it for a short play time. This can be spun and played while held by hand or can be left spinning solo on the floor or thrust into play arena in combative mode. In addition, it can be timed and rolled down upon inclined obstacle course to tackle every terrain and obstacles along the way towards the finish line.

It sports a myriad of interchangeable attachments that can alter its behavior and play combinations. It can have contact triggers or pneumatics to deploy projectiles, either free or corded ones to obstacles or fellow competitors.

In tethered configuration its succeeding input supply (after the initial rip-cord spin) is powered by hand-operated air pump supplying compressed air to the impeller. In hand-held configuration the succeeding power spins are driven by compressed air from four finger-operated air pumps surrounding the non-rotating body.

Your kid would effectively learn the peculiarities of gyroscopes and will get the glimpse on how to control precession in a matter of minutes.
