Wow what a complete useless feat of engineering, I’m glad there’s people out there working on the tough problems though.

It’s a silly/playful example, but a low friction, high momentum flywheel could have a lot of engineering uses. His methods and research are likely very transferable - so it sounds silly, but it’s probably pretty good.

Something like that doesn’t exist outside of fidget spinners? I wouldn’t think fidget spinner would be on the cutting edge of research for a thing that has thousands of industrial applications but I’m sure this dude has it cracked.

Not trying to diminish the work this guy has put into his product, but just a reminder that the Guiness Book of World Records is a paid service. They don’t go out searching the world for any of these records, they wait for people with disposable income to come to them, demand a large consulting/processing fee, THEN they go in the book and get their plaque
