I want one.
Edit:
Here's another, this one sounds really cool towards the end:

I love how at the very end it sounds like a revving engine
That sound... is mesmerizing....
Holy shit that's awesome
It goes so fast near the end.
Holy shit I'm laughing at how awesome that sounds.
Anyone have an explanation for why this happens?

The disk is really heavy and inertia keeps it spinning, I think.
It's called Euler's Disk, and I'm pretty sure it spins like that due to the way it's weighted in the middle.
[quote]When Euler's Disk is spun, the disk contains both potential and kinetic energy. The potential energy is given to the disk when it is placed upright on its side. The kinetic energy is given to the disk when it is spun on the mirrored base. Euler's Disk would spoll (i.e., spin and roll) forever it it were not for friction and vibration.[/quote]

:frog:
That gave me chills :ohdear:
I just wish they hadn't put the music in on the first one.
