MT-SPINNING TOP

Industrial strength spinning top made from hardened alloy steel and uses 100psi compressed air. It keeps my teen aged boys amused! Visit our website at www.geocities.com/pccc_mt/ for more information and pictures.

what is the height of your whole top and that height is the shaft meet the thatever. i need 2 know because i havee a project like this for my tech class thanks for any help

What?

[Matrix7neo]

Is alloy steel strong?

Heavy?

That's awesome how loud it gets with the air pressure

[yethdear]

Not so much strong as it is harder than plain steel. This prevents the tip from mashing. You could use regular steel and it would work just as well. I'd avoid aluminum or brass as they are not as hard of a metal.

where can i get one!

[yethdear]

Well...you have to make your own, like my students.

when I made mine, my teacher made 1 solid and I made 1 with a pressed fit stem. the pressed fit stem spins alot longer than a solid. if you want to try it =)

i love it niceeeeeeee

[nibbler125]

if you use mild steel then the point just rounds out after a whyle

[Natesmodelrailroad]

Needs more speed :P

[plasmatron6]

very nice! ;)

[PyreManiacz]

Sorry if this sounds immature, but you really ought to use that against a beyblade O_O it'd be interesting

[zoclates]

wow! Did you measure the rotational speed? What are the weight and size? Did you calculate its moment of inertia? I bet it spins for a long time.

Sweet! I want one of those. Thanks for sharing.
