I think Christian's method from SlikStiks was a good design, it certainly wouldn't add friction, just a pity it never eventuated.



krutknut:
Where would the actual push / pull mechanism be in that design?
Is that shaft divided in two somewhere, or does the entire thing go up and down?
Where would the buttons be attached?

krutknut:
I have made an attempt at the push/pull mechanism. There is a spring over the wheel, and one below the wheel. It is very simple and it works very well. It spins, and the spin is not affected by the springs.

krutknut:
And now the difficlut part... I need to attach a shaft and a knob to the wheel so that I can spin it.   :dunno

The 80s Man:
I think it's really cool how you are sharing your ideas of making a new DOT spinner but what if some company mass produces a spinner based on your design with out your permission?
