The GYROTOPULT Ultimate Toy, enabled by my Constant-Velocity Joint (SCVJ) design, is a versatile spinning top that combines the features of beyblade, whirling spin toy, gyroscope, and the classic cord-wound top and yo-yo. It's an educational yet entertaining toy that teaches kids about fluid mechanics, pneumatics, precession, power transfer, conservation of momentum/energy, linkages, and angular momentum through play. The toy can be played with by hand or left spinning on its own, can be thrust into a play arena in combative mode, and even has an inclined obstacle course to tackle. This dynamic toy features interchangeable attachments that alter behavior and play combinations, including contact triggers or pneumatics to deploy projectiles. In tethered configuration, the power supply after the initial rip-cord spin is provided by a hand-operated air pump supplying compressed air to the impeller. In hand-held mode, succeeding spins are driven by finger-operated air pumps surrounding the non-rotating body. With its unique design and features, the GYROTOPULT Ultimate Toy is the perfect tool for teaching kids about mechanical engineering while keeping them entertained.
