3. Spinning top - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinning_top

   A spinning top, or simply a top, is a toy with a squat body and a sharp point at the bottom, designed to be spun on its vertical axis, balancing on the tip due to the gyroscopic effect. Once set in motion, a top will usually wobble for a few seconds, spin upright for a while, then start to wobble again with increasing amplitude as it loses ...

4. Strummolo - Wikipedia

6. Foucault pendulum - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foucault_pendulum

   As early as 1836, the Scottish mathematician Edward Sang contrived and explained the precession of a spinning top. [14] In 1851, Charles Wheatstone [15] described an apparatus that consists of a vibrating spring that is mounted on top of a disk so that it makes a fixed angle φ with the disk. The spring is struck so that it oscillates in a plane.

7. Rattleback - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rattleback

   A rattleback is a semi-ellipsoidal top which will rotate on its axis in a preferred direction. If spun in the opposite direction, it becomes unstable, "rattles" to a stop and reverses its spin to the preferred direction. For most rattlebacks the motion will happen when the rattleback is spun in one direction, but not when spun in the other.

9. Tippe top - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tippe_top

   The stem may be used as a handle to pick up the top, and is also used to spin the top into motion. When a tippe top is spun at a high angular velocity, its stem slowly tilts downwards more and more until it suddenly lifts the body of the spinning top off the ground, with the stem now pointing downward. Eventually, as the top's spinning rate ...
