Everyone has taken to boast that their spinner can spin for the longest. So I decided to put them all to shame... I have designed a fidget spinner that spins as a result of the holder pumping the button caps. Meaning this dual bearing beast will spin for as long as you dare hold it! When you depress the buttons the pins in the button-cap axles make their way down the inner mechanism causing itself to turn as they follow the path of the grooves. (Much like how a bullet is manipulated by the rifling of a gun.) The turning of the inner mechanism causes its clips to make contact with the teeth of the main shell, causing it too to spin. Then when the buttons have been fully depressed (and the compression springs have started to return them to their top positions as you release pressure) the inner mechanism will start to rotate in the opposite direction, forcing the ratchet clips inwards due to the slanted edge of the teeth. This means the shell of the spinner can spin freely until the buttons are depressed again. This reciprocating motion of the buttons is what drives the spinner. The cover image was rendered for aesthetic purposes only; all the mechanical designs and physical structures were designed on Tinkercad.
