Just ordered a powerball gyroscope

[jfall]

Anyone else have one? Someone at work brought one in the other day and it was fun to play with.. I play guitar and type for hours a day so I hope it will help with that.

They spin at around 13k-15k RPM without electricity, they are strong as hell, pull your arm all over the place

There are some video's here: http://www.powerballs.com/powerball_videos.html

i want to get one, where did you order yours?

 

[jfall]

I ordered it right from the powerballs.com website. I think they have them on thinkgeek.com too but they are out of stock ATM

All that talk of exploding... it just doesn't seem like a good idea.

"no, higher still...take it right up, thrashing and jerking as your arm and wrist try to control and calm it down,"

You can cut the innuendo with a knife :Q

I have one. I really helps loosen the arm muscles when too tense.

Do you have one with a digital read-out? If so, what's your highest RPM?

 

[Semidevil]

so what is it?

What's the difference between the regular and the pro? Nevermind, finally noticed the regular doesn't have the counter.

I could only get 11,000rpms. My friend has been able to get almost 15,000

I just ordered the Orange 250Hz Pro. 😀

I hope it arrives soon, been wanting to get one for awhile.

I have a Dynabee. These powerball ones sound much cooler.
