Gyros are a true classic among scientific toys, fascinating both children and grown-ups down the years.

The Gyroscope is an especially cool gyro with a funky '50s retro design. Once started with the included 'starting string', the Gyroscope spins completely unaided for minutes at a time, seemingly defying the laws of gravity. Its precise construction and super-high rotation speed lets the gyro spin and spin and spin...

What's even better, is that you can let the Gyroscope spin on any edge you like, such as on the included pedestal, or on the side of a pen or even on the lip of a drinking glass! Think you've got the skill to balance the Gyroscope on a tightly stretched string? Go on, have a spin! You know you want to :)

But don't assume the fun stops there, oh no... The slower the gyro spins, the more it leans to the side. Gaze on and wait for it to topple over... only, it won't! Even at a 90-degree angle, it won't fall off the pedestal. Yay science!
