    Some things about the video:
    -I tried first with base that was slightly (about 3mm) deeper on the middle but that made the top spin around the base since the side of the ball bearing that was on outer diameter had bit more traction and therefore generated force that drove the top around the base.
    -The bottom of the vacuum chamber bulges inward but I think that didn't affect a lot since the top was all around the base in the vacuum chamber in stead of staying at the just one side.
    -I think sharper bottom part of the top will help thing stay in one place with slightly curved base

      Does the spinning top accelerate while creating the vaccum/pumping the air out?

    • @bigsmoke9935
      @bigsmoke9935 7 років тому +14

      Mig Ano no, because no energy is added. it will only decelerate slower becaus of missing air resistance

      @Shellghost09 7 років тому +4

      To hold the base center inside the vacuum chamber you could consider making about 5 or 6 little blocks cut to fit between the base and the chamber walls and place them around the base like spokes on a wheel.

  • @MattThompsonOnGoogle
    @MattThompsonOnGoogle 7 років тому +121

    The higher mass will cause the top to drill down harder. Friction will always win. If you make the bearing surface smaller, it will concentrate the mass into the base and scratch it up more. Then it will track along whatever edge it will find. This will throw off the balance and it will attempt to raise its center of gravity. Research "tippy top" and see what happens.
    There are a lot of complicated physics problems involved here, it is difficult to understand everything that will happen through observation. If you pursue it long enough and don't give up you will learn a lot. But if you do the research first you can save a lot of money and time.
    1) RAISE the center of mass.
    2) Use like-hardness surfaces in both the tip and the base.
    3) Use dry ice to absorb heat from friction.
    4) Decrease the overall mass and concentrate the mass you need to the outer diameter of the rotor.
    5) Isolate the base from the vibration of the chamber caused by the vacuum pump to conserve energy during evacuation.
    6) Consider adding an air damper between the pump and the chamber to reduce vibration caused by air escaping in pulses.
    7) Don't paint the top. That will throw off the balance. At those high speeds, everything counts.

    I've build spinning tops as child out of wood and lead.
    1. Put you mass as far out as possible
    2. put you mass as low as possible
    3. Make the running point as sharp as possible out of hardened steel but softer than the running surface.
    4. use a "watch glass dish" glued to a base as spinning surface. (steel on glass has a very low friction and glass is harder than steel)
    I turned plates with a stem in the middle out hardwood and plywood and screwed a poured lead ring on to the edge. Then I turned it round on my "lathe" (drill holding a screw on one side and a nail in a pice of wood on the other side)
    I started it with a rope wrapped around the "stem" and a special holder. I got spinning times around 40 minutes out of that. I think with proper construction more than 1 hour is possible and two hours in vacuum.

      I've build them 25 years ago. I have to buy the stuff and rebuild it.
      I experimented a lot as a child and reused everything. That's the problem if you haven't a lot of money, you disassemble old stuff to build new things. I used the lead in a steam engine as counterweight and fly wheel, in a remote controlled boat and u-boat, shoot with it with a steam powered cannon. I used up the lead for may other things.

    • @boelwerkr

    • @bekanav
      @bekanav 6 років тому

      Nice to hear, me too was a spinning top child, as a fifth grader :) I used a steel point on a mirror, my best top I built from an old tape recorder flywheel. It was perhaps 7cm in diameter and quite heavy. I had same method to start it but I had also a magnetic support which had three screw adjusted legs and it pulled most of the weight up. It rotated almost silently something between half an hour to hour, unfortunately I don't remember it any more. Most difficult was to make point concentric and to make surface of the top as smooth as possible with many layers of lacquer and sanding it.

  • @charlesbritannia7719

    Maybe make the surface you're spinning it on concave so it will center itself better. Also look into ceramic bearings, they should be harder and less abrasive than your hardened steel bearing balls.

    • @MattThompsonOnGoogle
      @MattThompsonOnGoogle 7 років тому +10

    @ABaumstumpf 7 років тому +2

    3 things:
    Use a bearing between your tip and the spiningtop it self.
    the top should be hard and pointy - hardened steel or if you have tungsten carbide needle.
    Mirrors. Yes, you can normally get quite decent magnifying bath-mirrors. glass is really smooth and hard, and has a low coefficient of friction with steel. And magnifying mirrors are slightly concave, helps keeping the top in the middle.

  • @discrepancy666
    @discrepancy666 7 років тому +5

    Give it a try and use a magnifying bathroom mirror as the base. It works great for normal size tops and should also work for this one. I don't know how the glass would hold up to that monster though. But it would be cheap enough to try.

We would test test the fans in vacuum until they failed. It would take 2 days to spool up until they failed. When the nylon/fiberglas reinforced fans failed you would hear "whoomp", then the motor would slow down quickly. When the lid was unbolted, all that would be left was a bunch of fluff. Pretty cool.

    You could make that piece the spinning thing is sitting on shaped like a bowl, so it will stay at the center.
    The bearing ball should be. as sharp as possible, somewhat like a needle, because this decreases friction, which I think needs the most energy in the vacuum.
    Mabe also put some oil at the metal where it spins on to further decrease friction.

    • @jort93z
      @jort93z 7 років тому +4

      actually it doesn't have to be sharp if its perfectly round. if you have a hard material(thats not plastic or aluminum like on cheap spinning tops) a perfect ball will be as good and even better than a needle. a needle tip in this case would make it unstable. ball bearing balls are very round. thats a lot better than a makeshift tip. balls are easier and more precise to make than needle shaped things.

    • @ArnoldSig
      @ArnoldSig 7 років тому +3

      simontay1984 It should be VERY little oil because if the base is curved the oil would all gather to the bottom and the top would be spinning in a pool... Not very good if you want as little friction.

    • @RebelMerc
      @RebelMerc 6 років тому

      The biggest problem with a sharp point is that it will cause friction. Why? Because at the speed this top is moving the point of contact will heat up. I am sure if they were to use a Temp gun on the tip they would be shocked at how hot it becomes. Now the total mass of the top pressing down on that single point no matter how hard will ultimately cause wear on the tip and damage to the base it sits upon. The incorporation of magnets in to the top plus a super cooled environment plus a vacuum chamber ( not sure how the vacuum would effect the liquid nitrogen. Possibly a split container where the cooling is out side the vacuum chamber). Anyway that is my two cents.

    For the tip Id use a tungsten carbide scribing point or something similar. Regular tungsten is not that hard since its sintered and usually is only around 30 on the Rockwell C scale. It actually is more like a grade 8.8 bolt in terms of mechanical properties.

    @RedfishCarolina 4 роки тому +1

    You need to put a rounded tip (not sharp point but like a 1mm radius) and lubricate the pad with a few drops of 0w20 motor oil.
    The hard tip is making hash out of the pad and increasing friction and introducing strange deflections into the smooth rotation (technically speaking, the pad is getting hoopajooped).
    A smooth rounded tip and a lightweight oil will eliminate that. No more hoopajoop.

      Another commentator made a good point. He thought, that the bottom of the pot flexes upward, when the vacuum is applied. That causes the base to slide off to the side, and tips it off level.

  • @aleksanderflippen4652

    • @aleksanderflippen4652
      @aleksanderflippen4652 7 років тому +8

      Sorry, but yes it is. Kinetic Energy of a moving object it K=.5*m*(v^2), where m is mass and v is velocity. for a 3000 lb car travelling at 60mph, m=1362 kg, v=26.82, so K=.5*1362*26.82^2=489.851J * 1kJ/1000J= 489kJ, or the same as the top. Feel free to check the math yourself.

    on the steel base your using to spin the top on, try drilling a small hole and put a tiny neodymium magnet flush with the surface that should hold the top in the centre and stop it losing energy moving around, and also 3 in the base to stick it to the bottom of the chamber to stop it vibrating around, in a triangle shape on the bottom, to add twist friction to the base and hold it stiffer

    Don't switch to a pointed tip. A sphere has the smallest contact point on a flat surface. Smallest contact point = least amount of friction. Don't know if it could handle it, but a ruby (harder than steel, so will take longer for friction to wear a flat spot) ball bearing on a very slightly concave ceramic plate seems like an ideal setup.

    Same method being tested as a mechanical battery. They spin object in a vacuum on a magnet bearing and leave it. It keeps on spinning because no friction, or maybe just miniscule energy loss. Then they use that energy by slowing it down. Sort of generator/battery if u will.
