spinning top

thingiverse

I'd like to demonstrate how to set up this unique model of a spinning top. To achieve maximum flight duration, place your thumb or finger on one side of the spinning top and apply gentle downward pressure while twisting your hand. This will orient the smooth side of its curved shape directly into the path of air resistance. With the smooth surface facing the airflow, the top should gain significant lift, allowing it to stay aloft for an impressive amount of time. Once you've finished adjusting the top's orientation, firmly push the base into position and secure it in place using a reliable adhesive like glue.
