Gyro Spin Spectre: Optical Levitating Gyro Spinner
CNC precision machined gyroscope with a levitating optical effect! Made from Stainless Steel and uses super-fast ceramic bearings.
Ghost Design. Two years ago we brough you Ghost Yo Yo, and you loved it. Last year we brought you Gyro Spin and you loved it even more! So now... We bring you Gyro Spin Spectre. A precision machine Gyroscopic Spinner with a wild optical effect. As it spins at ultra-high speed it looks like it’s defying gravity, Continuously spinning gyroscopic design allows you to explore the effects of physics. Spin the disk independently to the axel creating a unique gyroscopic inertia. This phenomenon can be felt in your hands and also leads to extra long spin times.
Through a meticulous prototyping process we have ended up with a truly unique design. Watch in awe as the Spectre seemingly defies gravity and give the illusion of levitation, The outer-ring is made from Stainless Steel whilst the inner frame is manufactured from Aluminium. The difference in densities between these two materials creates the optimal weight distribution. Ensuring a long and smooth spin, Two years ago we launched Ghost Design with our first product; the Ghost Yo Yo. Our first campaign went great and we fell in love with Kickstarter. We came back last year with another big project - Gyro Spin. Just check out some of these reviews from last year.
The modular design allows for numerous tricks and experiments.... Spin upside down or on your finger whilst the mysterious force seems to defy gravity, We are serious about user experience... You'll find a unique tactile experience with a perfect surface finish. You can pick it up, move it or even do tricks and it will remain perfectly balanced, So far the longest spin time we've had with sceptre is just over 5 minutes! Long spin times like this can be easily reached using the USB Launcher add-on or by hand. This is possible because of the 2 ultra-fast ceramic bearings.
These bearings are the fastest, strongest, and lightest available. Ultra-low friction allows it to run smoothly and silently for an amazingly long time. We've used two bearings in our design for extra stability, Ergonomic design makes the Gyro Spin so easy to spin that anyone can play with it. To get the longest spin times you will need some practice to build up your skill level, Want to take you spinning to the next level? Our USB launcher is the quickest and easiest way to get going. Available as an add-on.
This means that all of Spectres parts can be easily upgraded or replaced. The tip, handle and bearings can all be removed by simply un-screwing them from each other. Parts can be easily replaced or upgraded which means Spectre will last a lifetime, No glue or adhesives are used in Spectre's assembly. We've used a precision machined push-fit design for the main body. This is is where the two parts are pushed together perfectly under great pressure.
The Spectre's outer ring is made from Stainless Steel 321 whereas the inner frame is made from Aluminium Grade 1000. These are the highest quality materials commercially available, The Aerospace Grade Stainless Steel 321 is available in three different flawless finishes; brushed, black electro-plated and iridescent. This premium alloy of stainless steel is found in spacecraft due to its exceptional impact resistance. All options have a black anodized aluminium inner frame.
You have to order one of these before it's too late!
