Product Description

The amazing, crazy flip top.  
This top spins on its spherical end for a few seconds and then turns upside down and spins on its stem, inverting itself against gravity! 

This has intrigued Lord Kelvin and Niels Bohr alike.  Does it violate the law of conservation of energy as it raises its center of mass without outside help?

New! Now in a high quality wooden finish.
Size: 3.5 cm long 

Teach: Precession, friction, torque, angular momentum
Age: 7+

Price is for one wooden top. Assorted colours.
