Spin Art Machines have been around for a while and I have seen them at craft shows for years.
You could buy a Spin Art machine for anywhere from $12 to $282 depending on the size and quality of the machine.
If you have a spare box fan and some card board, you can make your own at home for pennies on the dollar!
