ROTOP DETAILS



A modified classical spinning top (1) and its horizontal driving (6) without mechanical restraining elements are disclosed. The modified classical spinning top has a small permanent magnet (2) on the rotation axis (3), at its upper part and coaxial with it. A second permanent magnet (4) with the opposite polarity to the first one, it means in an attraction configuration, is manually moved horizontally (7) above the top of the spinning top. The interaction of attraction of the two permanent magnets determines a horizontal driving (6) of the spinning top without modification of the rotation movement.
THE NEW TOY IS MORE INTERESTING, INTERACTIVE AND ATTRACTIVE THAN THE CLASSICAL ONE.
