Floating Top U-CAS<\/a>(Amazon)<\/p>\n

Have you ever encountered a mysterious top that, once set in motion, keeps spinning without anyone touching it? It seems like a magical item, but of course, there’s a scientific secret and mechanism at work. And hidden within that mechanism is the inseparable and fascinating relationship between “electricity” and “magnetism” that powers our modern lives. I recently discovered the ultimate gadget to thrill any science teacher: the “Perpetual Spinning Top!”<\/p>\n

This top was actually an item I had long admired and wanted. As a fan of the Earth Top and the Floating Top, this was a joyful discovery! I immediately tried it out, excited to see if I could use it in my classes.<\/p>\n

Just a Light Spin, Yet It Never Stops!<\/h3>\n

When I spun it, I was once again impressed by its mesmerizing motion. Just a light flick with a finger, and the top gains momentum on its own, continuing to spin for minutes\u2014no, probably until the battery runs dry! First, watch its mysterious action in the video below.<\/p>\n
