TEDCO Precision Gyroscope (colors may vary)

It is a very fine product which functions perfectly to demonstrate the principles of gyroscope. My kids love to play with it. A must have for teachers, parents and kids who want their kids to feel the magic of science.

Bought this for my just turned 5 year old Grandson to demonstrate how the "gyro-helicopters" and "drones" work. He is a kid with everything and is deep into Legos. We watched the videos and he was super excited about getting one. Not being in the stores, we had to wait for delivery. Every day he was filled with anticipation of this "magical gift" He actually got a new bike for his birthday and shocked his parents by only asking if the "gyroscope" had arrived. The gyroscope came in his favorite color "neon green" and it was an immediate hit. The gyroscope itself works flawlessly and can actually spin for a couple of minutes. We purchased the old string model as well and this one is certainly better built and the pull piece made it easy for him to use it with ease. There probably are not enough words to express how much he loves this "toy" He gives shows to whoever is around showing the tricks and spends countless hours just spinning it in every variation. Three months later, I see him during my calls on Facetime, still being obsessed with and showing me his latest trick. When I say "trick" he actually is dropping the spinning gyroscope on the floor and it just spins away. I strongly recommend this gyroscope as a great teaching and fun filled toy.

O produto veio em perfeita ordem, td certo.

I needed a gyroscope for a physics class I was presenting. I had the classic metal gyroscope, but it had bent and no longer spun reliably. This is a great substitute - the plastic frame is more "precise", and I love the plastic zip pull for getting it going. Far faster than wrapping a string (though that is also an option). It does vibrate a bit - it's not quite precision, but it works. Also, the hole for the string was blocked with plastic flashing, requiring me to cut it out with an X-acto blade. But it's not that $250 gyroscope you can find on Amazon either - it works well enough for the price.
